One of the things that my son really likes about Grinnell is self-governance. Students are treated like adults by the administration, with adult privileges and freedoms. They are expected to exercise that freedom responsibly. He was not interested in attending a college that treated him like an overgrown high school student.
The diversity of life experiences of both students and faculty is eye-opening. He has also been very impressed with the speakers and performers Grinnell brings to campus--all for FREE!
Since he does not have anything to compare his Grinnell experience to, he might not wax rhapsodic about the student-professor interaction, small classes, great facilities and lack of distribution requirements. But as someone who attended a few institutions of higher learning myself and as a parent who's watched another son's college experience unfold, I know these things are remarkable.
And the fact that Grinnell costs less than its peers and gives merit aid certainly does not hurt, either!!! Have to save a few bucks for grad school.
