[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The endowment is $3 billion thanks to some historical association with Warren Buffett. It’s among the largest of the SLACs. [/quote] Grinnell provided the seed money for Intel. Which is pretty crazy tbh. They made a fortune, but sold out too soon in retrospect (because they were a college, not a hedge fund, and needed to be conservative). But they took those Intel proceeds and put them in a little fund called Berkshire Hathaway. Say what you want, but they're not dumb.[/quote] That provides an intellectually stimulating job for the adults involved in Grinnel finances, but doesn’t help the student who might feel stuck in that area for four years. [/quote] then that student shouldn't apply DC is there. Didn't grow up in Midwest, but is fairly familiar with the area. Really likes it but occasionally complains like kids that age do. Wanted a SLAC and that hasn't changed. [/quote]
