What kinds to students does Knox attract?

We just visited Knox this weekend with our daughter. One of my older kids went to Beloit and another to Grinnell. Knox struck me as a shade artsier than either of those schools, no doubt due to its popular Creative Writing major and expansive Theatre program. It encourages submission of an art portfolio or audition (theatre, dance, etc.) as part of the application process. I’d say Knox is on a par academically with Beloit. There are certainly a lot of Midwesterners there, but plenty of students from farther states (and countries) as well. We were impressed with the place. The students were very friendly and welcoming.
