Favorite class - Introduction to Sociology was my favorite class so far because it changes the way you see the world around you and challenges the social norms that most people do not normally recognize.  

What is the best thing about Grinnell? The resources at Grinnell are fantastic. It is very easy to seek out academic or social help on campus.

What is the worst thing about Grinnell? There are so many different things to get involved in that sometimes you find yourself without enough hours in a day to get everything done.

Why did you choose Grinnell? I wanted the opportunity to be challenged academically and to be forced to step out of my comfort zone by adjusting to a small town and small campus culture since I’m originally from a big city.

What should every prospective student know? When you become a student at Grinnell, you become a part of a family. The warm community makes it easier to deal with the stress of academics and being away from home.

What was the most memorable part of your visit as a prospective student? Going to the dining hall and feeling like everyone recognized me as an unfamiliar face.

What is your favorite Grinnell memory? Pulling up back to campus after a big victory at an away football game and being greeted by a crowd of our fellow Grinnellians cheering and congratulating us as we exited the bus.
