[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son graduated from Grinnell a few years ago. He loved the school, but he was looking for the feel of a SLAC. However, know that Grinnell lacks the school spirit of a big state school like Pitt. [b]Your son is looking at two very different schools - opposite ends of the spectrum. If he does not like the small size of Grinnell now, it will be claustrophobic for him after a year or two. My son did say that by the end of his senior year he was ready to go.[/b][/quote] Rural, cold weather, isolated LACs are tough environments for many--probably young and old. Not trying to knock Grinnell College, but it has had a lot of bad publicity regarding alcohol & drug abuse among its student body which was made public by a professor at Grinnell on his blog (has since been removed). OP: For the subjects that your son wants to study, the far superior should be clear. Have your son/daughter examine the course offerings at his intended major at each school.[/quote]
