Grinnell College is a very special place. It's located in a small, tight-knit community, so everyone knows and cares for each other. As someone coming from a very big city, the feeling of safety at Grinnell was something I truly appreciated. I chose a liberal arts college because I love studying and learning about different things, and Grinnell is a place where you can really diversify your studies. However, don’t expect classes to be easy. I struggled with the workload and difficult courses quite often, but Academic Advising is really supportive. The professors are fantastic, as they are not only knowledgeable, but also understanding and kind. Besides my classmates, some staff members also became dear friends who I will deeply miss once I graduate. Grinnell College is not perfect. It is isolated, sometimes classes are way too much, and the Dining Hall meals are unpredictable, but I'm convinced I pursued my undergrad studies at the right place for me.
