There's a lot involved in being a Grinnell College student: lugging around oversized computers, practically living in the art studio, finding the perfect study space, and of courese, taking care of your fellow Grinellians by practicing self governance.  Get to know Grinnell (and your new roommates or tutorial classmates!) in this issue of Ins & Outs.

  • Tilting with Windmills in Tutorial
    Aki Shibuya '11
    Although its focus is teaching first-years how to adjust to college- level writing and research, the bulk of class time goes into discussing your topic.
  • Today’s the Day the College Kids Have their Picnic!
    Erin Sindewald ’08
    Grab and Go picnics may not be all you can eat, but the company is all you could want, the scenery is all you can see, and the conversation is all you can imagine.
  • Check Out My New Crib
    Nmachi Jidenma '09
    I have the added privilege of feeling like something of a campus celebrity, just by inviting the rest of the world to “come view my crib.”
  • Rollicking Roomies
    Mona Ghadiri '11
    After much discussion about whether coffee or tea would be best, we settled on apple cider and donuts from this great little place near my house.
  • Self-Defining Self-Governance
    Caitlin Carmody '08
    I finally threw up my hands and said with exasperation, “It’s about community! Forget Locke. It’s just about living in a community.”
  • Studio Rats
    The Life of an Art Major
    Dani Zamora '08
    This community within the studio walls has helped me a lot during my time in Grinnell.
  • My Computer Outweighs Me
    Molly Rideout '10
    Or if I was fighting an Iowa corn-monster, I could knock it out with one swing of my laptop. If I could lift it, that is.
  • People Watching and Study Buddies
    Cassie Sims '08
    I have secretly witnessed a countless number of quick kisses sneaked in between the stacks.
