Wellesley, Whitman, or Grinnell?

I visited Grinnell last Thursday, and just wanted to comment that, from my overnight visit- the alchohol and drug scene is very open and available, especially pot, but there seems to be no pressure to partake. Yes, I was offered beer and pot, as were the other prospies I was talking to, but it is very easy to say no in the Grinnell atmosphere. The whole atmosphere is very laid back, which I liked. I got the e-mail from the study abroad student in Turkey. It was coincidental in that the first thing I mentioned to my mom after visiting Grinnell, in jest, was the lack of In-n-Out.

I’m visiting Wellesley for their open campus on Monday and Tuesday for the first time. I’m in Boston right now, and met an alumna, she was a perfect example of what I had pictured an alumna to be!

btw, Californian, I visited Middlebury over the weekend. I loved it! It’s absolutely beautiful, and academics are superb. The environment was quite a contrast from Grinnell, but did fit another part of my personality. If only I could find a school that encompassed all the things I’ve loved at so many!
