Wrong again. Yes, it’s liberal. But it is not wealthy at all, especially when compared to other elite liberal arts colleges. Do your research before spouting off.

You are incorrect. Grinnell College is a wealthy LAC. Grinnell's endowment is almost at $3 billion--which is more than Swarthmore, Bowdoin, Tufts, or Georgetown.

Grinnell's Endowment Per Student is almost $2 million per student which places it as approximately the 10th highest among all US universities & colleges.

Grinnell College is a very wealthy school.

It's wealthy, but it's super woke.[/quote

You are 100% correct.

Grinnell College has a lot of money but the students are less wealthy than at many schools. Grinnell is need blind and uses its endowment to provide financial aid without loans. Grinnell is one a select group of schools that meet the full need of international students and 20% of student body is international.

Hm. As someone who read through the whole thread and has no personal connection to SLACs, I came to exactly the opposite conclusion.

+1 Same conclusion.
