| My son is a Grinell senior, English major and he grew up overseas. He picked Grinnell over Oberlin as the environment seemed more socially diverse, there were more international students (higher percentage), the facilities were better and he knew he would have more chances to play music in a school without conservatory students. All these have been born out by his experiences. He (and I) also really liked Oberlin, but this was the right choice for him....He had visited both, and honestly we liked the town setting of Oberlin better, but he has been really happy in Iowa!
Good luck! |
