parent1009,
Thanks for your comments. I think it makes those of us whose kids have chosen Grinnell feel better. That is basically what my daughter saw. She said that there were parties and drinking, but there was no pressure to participate. She also saw that there were other things going on ( I think she went to a dance/music performance). I have told her exactly what you said. Unless you go to a completely dry campus there will be drinking. She honestly felt that she would be accepted more as a non drinker at Grinnell. She actually thought it would be more of a problem at another campus that is supposedly “dry”. From what she saw the students just go off campus and drink.
