From talking to Grinnell students, it seems that there are times (mid-sems and finals) when school is very intense. But everyone buckles down and gets through it. You are not in it by yourself. For most of the semester, I think an hour or two per class hour would be a rule of thumb, at least in the social sciences. (econ, for instance) But keep in mind that you probably only have 14 hours a week of class, so that’s very manageable.

Like bethievt’s son, I can think of one prof my son had that he did not feel was up to Grinnell’s usual high standards. There are some others in that department that he has avoided, but I don’t think it was very difficult to do.

He has found plenty of time to study and still have a social life and make music.
