[quote=Anonymous]I'm from Northern Virginia and I went to Grinnell. It was a fantastic experience. Because the college is remote, there is a lot going on there. It really builds community. It was also a completely different environment for me. The skies got so dark at night! It felt open and vast and full of possibilities. And it times it felt isolated and frustrating, so it was handy to have a friend with a car who would be willing to drive a couple hours to get somewhere else. Even if somewhere else wasn't much different. I also learned I didn't want to stay in Iowa, and probably preferred not to live in such a rural community if I had a choice, so it helped me with my grad school search. My children are very different from me, but I'm going to suggest they consider Grinnell (or other remote SLACs) in their college search. It helped me grow into the person I am, and I'm pretty happy with how I've turned out.[/quote]
