mkshort–The academics are great, but I’m pretty sure my son would say that his favorite “thing” is the students. This is why a good fit with a college matters. I felt at home immediately at Antioch College, my husband at Oberlin and our son felt (and feels)this at Grinnell. Have you ever been in the midst of a sweltering day and walked into a cool, beautiful space and thought, “Oh, here is a place I can breathe!”? That’s what a good fit feels like.

The food is way above average. Lots of variety, but even so I guess it gets boring at times. Friends cook together in the dorm kitchens or go out sometimes in town. Cafe Phoenix is my son’s favorite restaurant.
