[quote=Anonymous]I'm coming to the discussion late (apologies), but in response to the question of what Grinnell is really like, I can share my perspective as the mother of a recent graduate. My daughter had a WONDERFUL experience at Grinnell. It is a magical place with small classes, brilliant and involved professors, absolutely incredible academic and athletic facilities, and a bright, active, friendly, unpretentious student body. The academics are VERY demanding, but it's a perfect environment for a bright, curious kid who is prepared to work hard. The town is really cute and pretty, and it has some lovely restaurants and coffee shops. The only thing that could have been better were the dorms, but they are being extensively renovated, and a new one is being built. All new builds and renovations are attractive, comfortable, and environmentally sound, and all dorms will soon have A/C. The newest dorm will have a green roof and will offer apartment-style living. My daughter and her boyfriend were both athletes and loved their undergraduate experience. Both are headed for grad school but have chosen to work for a few years first. Both walked into excellent jobs straight out of college. They are very nostalgic and upbeat about their Grinnell experience and go back to visit their alma mater when they can. [/quote]
