The fact is that many good LACs are pretty isolated or in not-so-nice towns. Colby, Bates, Middlebury, Oberlin, Hamilton, Colgate… But, because Grinnell is in Iowa instead of on the east coast, I think it takes more than its share of “middle 'o nowhere” hits. There’s a lot to do on campus, and virtually all events are free. Not to mention that there are 1500 students there to befriend. My son just graduated - he probably only went to Des Moines 3 times in four years.
