Grinnell College Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Mary

I love the themed Harris parties! 80's is tons of fun, as are Lady Gaga and Fetish. Basically, if there's an excuse to make a costume, I'll be there.

Qianning

Our school is best known for the high amount of workload students at Grinnell receive. Although the amout seems overwhelming for some at first, it serves as a great preparation for graduate schools. Many Grinnell alums feel more prepared and less overwhelmed by the workload at their graduate schools than their non-Grinnellian peers do BECAUSE OF of the amount of "practice" the Grinnell alums got. Hard work pays off at Grinnell College. Such is a promising fact.
