Wellesley, Whitman, or Grinnell?

I’m a current student (junior) at Grinnell, so I’ll shed light on the social scene. Drinking is big with about half the campus, but there are several different pockets of social activity that revolve around dozens of different things. On any given Friday, a student can go to a concert, watch movies in the Harris theater, drink at student parties, hang out at student parties, go to the Harris dance parties, hang out in dorm lounges, do homework, go to plays/art exhibits, go to Des Moines or Iowa City, etc. etc. All of the campus events are free. A large part of the social life does revolve around alcohol, but I’d say about half of the campus doesn’t partake in that on a regular basis.

Weed is widespread, but (this just in) it’s widespread everywhere. If you want to smoke it, go ahead. If not, then don’t…just like anywhere else.

The swimming team is very, very good.

Good luck.
