Very friendly town and college. The people there are very customer service oriented. It is a very small town, but a great place to go if you'd like to get away from the "big city" college life. Just know, there are only a very few places that stay open past midnight, so be sure to do your shopping and entertainment before then. The town also doesn't seem to wake up until around 8am so if you'd like to get a morning jog in, before anyone awakes - your safe between the hours of 5am and 8am there are hardly any cars on the street - let alone, people.
Chapel is beautiful! Nice campus.
Great school but I chose to become a United States Marine instead!
This is a college for sure. Not too big, not too small. Private schools after the private highschool.
Soccer camp is amazing
take a chip off ye ol' elitism, babe
I'm a 1967 Grinnell grad and philosophy major. The education and life experiences during my years at Grinnell prepared me well for a satisfying career and for a life with purpose and fulfillment.
Grinnell College is a place where students feel free to express themselves and to work hard for whatever they want to be. It's a great place to be a student if you are self-driven and can push yourself well.
Love the pool but honestly the type of people that go here is exactly why even if I could afford it, I wouldn't go to a school like this.
Overall had a great time during my undergrad and have loved my interactions and involvement on campus as an alumnae.
Beautiful campus, brilliant, hilarious, interesting, and hard-working student body overall.
Dining hall food quality has improved over the last 5 years, with the incorporation of student ideas and feedback.
Student government is increasingly becoming more diverse to reflect the rest of campus.
Endless leisure, health-related, and entertainment activities for students during the week as well as on the weekends.
Self gov is love.
My BA cost me about $25K over 4 years including loans and out-of pocket costs.
First generation college student from Los Angeles; in terms of recruitment and college fit: I always felt that the school wanted me to join their student body, although I had some difficulty due to the academic rigor.
I learned so much and I am a much more well-rounded, critical, grateful, edified life-long learner because of my Grinnell College experience. Thanks Obama!
