[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remote. So incredibly remote.[/quote]

My kid will start in the fall so I only know surface stuff through a visit.  Grinnell is no more remote than some other small liberal arts colleges he looked at.  The college provides shuttles to/from the airport during breaks and semester starts and ends.  There is also a weekly bus into Des Moines and Cedar Rapids.

Grinnell is not the right college for the following students:

A student who cannot survive without a particular Starbucks drink.  There are coffee shops but no Starbucks.  The same goes for somebody who can't live without Chik-Fil-A, Panera, Chipotle, or some other particular restaurant.

A student who likes to go clubbing or attend large Greek parties.

A student who wants to be invisible in the classroom.

A student who loves pep rallies.

A student who loves lots of in-person upscale shopping options or likes to do Target runs more than once per week.

A student who wants to receive a lot of AP credit and shorten the college experience.
