| First of all, congratulations to your daughter on getting into great schools!
I am not currently attending Grinnell, but I plan on matriculating this fall (just sent in my deposit today!). From what I have gathered, a noticeable portion of the students there do not drink/do drugs, so your daughter would not feel out of place. Also, Grinnell is well renowned for the political activism of their student population, and being an LAC, it is overwhelmingly liberal. Open mindedness is the very foundation of this school. I think your daughter would fit in perfectly. Also, I think Grinnell could provide your daughter with a better all-around education, especially since she doesn't know what her major is yet.
About St. Olafs, I think that the reason its not considered "dry" is because the students there who want to party go across Northfield to Carleton, which from what I hear has quite the drinking scene. |
