[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grinnell has become super selective despite what many consider to be a highly undesirable location.  Just imagine if it were somewhere else?[/quote]

I have a child there and while they would prefer that it were closer to home, the location doesn’t bother them at all.  The town is cute and close to campus and they are pretty academically focused so are happy with what’s offered on campus.

They did not like the location of Macalester though because they preferred a small town environment. And they wouldn’t even consider Clark.  It’s all pretty subjective. [/quote]

+1.  Yes, all subjective.  My son won't even look at Grinnell because of its location and he loves both Macalester and Clark.  This does not change that they are great schools for the right student.  [/quote]

Well, that's too bad because Grinnell is leaps and bounds better than both of those schools.  [/quote]

For sundry reasons, I would have liked my DC to attend Macalester (great location with shops and restaurants, easy access to airport, plenty of internships at the state capitol), but they opted for Grinnell and have been quite happy. We didn't visit Clark's campus, so cannot comment. [/quote]
