  • It’s All in the Palate
    Alisha Saville '09
    Discussing the gastronomic effects of curd rice versus onion chutney added another dimension to the edible experience.
  • Lindy Hopping Around the World
    Molly Rideout '10
    Then it happened. I got addicted. And gosh darn, it’s all Grinnell’s fault.
  • Art We Won’t Forget
    Jakob Gowell '11
    When I got home, I cleared the dining room table and started to organize the pictures, quickly covering the entire table. It was cool, it was impressive, and it was only half of what it could be.
  • Religion at Grinnell
    What I Learned and Unlearned
    Amar Sarkar '12
    People talk about the weather. People talk about psychology. People talk about politics. And people talk about religion.
  • Community
    What It Means to Love People
    Sara Woolery '11
    A good community is dynamic. Students at Grinnell are willing to discuss their experiences and beliefs with each other and don’t duck challenging questions.
  • Extracurriculars
    It’s a Way of Life
    Sandra Torres ’11
    It’s not uncommon to find student organizations collaborating on events and festivities on campus. We strongly believe in “the more the merrier” philosophy to organization.
  • Judaism in the Cornfields
    Rebecca Heller '11
    Slowly, Grinnell’s Jewish traditions have become my own. The candid conversations about religion, the student-baked challah, the familiar Friday faces — these have all become part of my daily life at Grinnell.
  • Roommates
    Marcus Zeitz '12
    We went to dinner together, talked about how we had chosen Grinnell, and the strange hands of fate and coincidence that had brought us to the same dorm room at a small college in the middle of Iowa.
  • Blue Iowa
    Erica Seltzer-Schultz ’12
    From this experience, I started to see not only the College, but also the town as my home too.
