<p>Grinnell does not have the beautiful Arboretum adjacent to campus that Carleton has, but I think Grinnell’s facilities are nicer. I toured Carleton after spending the morning at St Olaf (which is stunning, btw) and came away with the impression that Carleton’s buildings were rather dark and dreary. </p>
<p>I literally expected Grinnell to be in the middle of a cornfield before I saw it. Not the case at all. Grinnell has many large, beautiful trees on campus and lots of flowers and landscaping. And the fattest squirrels you ever saw. Not a cornstalk in sight, unless you are in a hot air balloon. </p>
