Wanna live by the beach? Go to school in Iowa! That doesn't make sense, does it? Well if you read this insider guide, you'll learn that the courtyard areas in front of Grinnell dorms are called beaches. Maybe you could find some hotties on the beach!
"Everyone here is ugly."
Well, that's only one student's opinion?
"Everyone gets so used to each other here that no one bothers to dress up, which gives Grinnellians a reputation for being ugly. Personally, I think that we're just comfortable with each other."
Okay, so this isn't a California beach...
It doesn't seem to matter though:
While finding a make-out buddy is not that difficult, finding a girlfriend or boyfriend might be. It's notoriously difficult to stay in a relationship at Grinnell. It may have to do with the general acceptability of making out with random people, or casual sex. There is a student group called Grinnellians Advocating Sexual Pleasure (GASP) that encourages all kinds of safe sex, regardless of whether or not it's in a monogamous relationship.
Complaints about the food, the workload, and the social claustrophobia of the surrounding town are not uncommon, and life in Iowa takes a little getting used to if you are from out-of-state.
But you are really here for the whole experience:
Academics - Most classes are challenging but very rewarding; most professors challenge students to think critically and demand a lot. Anything assigned helps student understand what they're studying, rather than just passing on a deadline.
Housing - Norris is, in all actuality, a great place for first-years to end up. There is nothing that can cement friendships faster than shoving 60 nervous and bewildered 18-year-olds into the same building.
Nightlife - Grinnell students study hard and party hard. The most well-known parties are the Harris parties. School-based groups fund them, and most theme parties vary from creative to mundane.
Find out if Grinnell truly has something for you, straight from the students' mouths.
