I got the feeling that the Grinnell students were pretty offbeat. I did meet someone who was the quintessential college student, but she and her friends were so outstanding there that some of the other students had nicknamed them “The Plastics.” (From Mean Girls) I went there on the thursday after the election, and no one was talking politics. However, I went to a poetry slam in Bob’s underground (which was awesome) and a lot of the material was about gay marriage and being gay and had a generally liberal feel. I doubt anyone openly condemning gay marriage would survive at Grinnell. So I guess you could say there was a lack of diversity. Didn’t hear the students complaining about it though.
