Wellesley, Whitman, or Grinnell?

I’m going to Whitman next year, I picked it early in the fall and applied ED, but had I not done that I was considering applying RD to Grinnell as well.

I wouldn’t worry at all about the Greek life being any kind of issue, I’ve visited campus 3 times and it’s very open to everyone and just chill. I’ve heard most people in Greek life never thought they’d be a part of it, so might give you an idea of what its like.

Father of the Boarder said Whitman is “more conservative than either” but I’m pretty sure that’s unfounded. It’s a very politically liberal campus, similar to most LACs. And as californian said, the weather is good, better than western WA, where I hail from. So…I clearly would pick Whitman, as that’s what I did, but Grinnell could be a good choice as well. Or Bowdoin/Middleburry would be cool to look into if the price difference isn’t a big factor. Ultimately, all her options sound great.
