Ghettohorsey–are you part of the Posse Program? If not, maybe you could seek out some of those students. My son’s 2nd year roommate was a Posse student and they had retreats that they could invite other students to attend. Posse students were mostly 1st generation to college kids and the program is designed to help them adjust to college. Grinnell has about 40 posse students at any given time, divided among all 4 years. The idea is to give them a “posse” of other students who also might need support adjusting to college.

Grinnell also has very close advising. Your 1st advisor will be your prof of your first year tutorial and he or she will be there for you right away. I remember my son met with his advisor multiple times before registering for classes.
