THE TOWN
I visited Grinnell this October for one of the college’s “discover grinnell” programs. I was really worried as I took the exit off the highway because it did seem really crappy in terms of its size and the buildings I saw. When I got closer to the campus and the “downtown” I was a bit relieved because the town was at least clean and nice. Although it doesn’t take long to get to farms, I really thought that the idea of grinnell being “in the middle of nowhere” was quite the exaggeration. On campus I got the impression that students actually don’t get bored there; there are a lot of clubs and activities that are going on, and the campus has enough nice areas that you can just hang out in.
