Review of Grinnell College

from Sun Valley, CA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Though the courses cover a large amount of material in what seems to be a short time span, the professors are happy to help outside of class.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I definitely met a diverse group of people i now call friends. These were the people that helped me through my first year at Grinnell; though the academics were rigorous, it was the immense amount of support that Grinnell faculty and staff offered that make me confident that I can push my self to achieve what I want. I love a challenge and am happy to start my second year.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

i received a large sum of money from grants from the school alone; they are very generous with their financial aid.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

I suggest you visit the campus before your final decision--you will either love or hate the weather and atmosphere of the school itself.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

outdoorsy types; those that like quiet places, great academics, and athletic opportunities; those who love seasons!
