I think you need to execute a road trip and check them out. Academically and in terms of prestige, Grinnell and Mac are stronger than Beloit and Kalamazoo… but B and K are very strong in their own right.

Bear in mind that Beloit is about 45 mins from Madison, about 90 minutes from Chicago and about the same from Milwaukee. Two and a half from Green Bay. :-)

Mac is in the Twin Cities.

Kalamazoo is a couple hours (?) from Detroit.

Grinnell is not near a major metropolis, unless you count Des Moines as such. It’s about 5 hrs from the Twin Cities, Milwaukee and Chicago.

So check them all out and go for the best fit.
