I didn't really tour the town, but I expect it's a typical small Midwestern town with distinct charm but few amenities or resources. [View Full Report]

Cute, small town. Enough food establishments to fit the bill and at least they put the Walmart out on the perimeter of town. The town people were very nice and friendly. [View Full Report]

Grinnell is a very small town and the campus is the main event. However, you are only an hour from Des Moines and Iowa City. [View Full Report]

The town isn't much to write home about. Northfield, MN (Carlton, St. Olaf) is a lot more like a college town. [View Full Report]

Some gas stations, fast food places, motels & a Wal-Mart in the area. Small town Iowa may not be for eveyone, but after two weeks in the state, Iowa has really grown on my D. [View Full Report]

It's not New York City or Boston, but the area surrounding Grinnell has everything you'll need as far as necessities are concerned. It's a small town with some small-town charm. [View Full Report]

This is a great town. Almost like taking a stepo back in time. Until you hit the edge of town and the Wal Mart comes to view. [View Full Report]
