College is more than classes and studying — for four years, this will be your home. On-campus and virtual visits are one of the most powerful ways you can energize your college search, and perhaps the best way to experience for yourself what it feels like to be a Grinnellian.
We hear it from students again and again — when they visited campus, they knew in their hearts that Grinnell was the right choice. Come find out what your Grinnell story could look like.
See our rolling hills and breathtaking sunsets. Walk from our state-of-the art science center to our old-meets-new Humanities and Social Studies Center. See a play, take in an art show, and experience life at Grinnell for yourself.
A visit to Grinnell can include an information session, student-led campus tour, meal in the dining hall, interview, financial aid appointment, and more.
From Discover Grinnell to Admitted Student Days, we offer specially-designated visit days and programs to help you make the most of your time on campus.
Get to know Grinnell from wherever you are. Start out with a self-guided tour, but don't stop there - meet our students, ask questions of our admission counselors, and get a feel for what you'll experience here on campus.
Join us for a virtual information session, a live virtual tour, an online interview or one-on-one chat with a current student, or one of our special, seasonal programs such as our summer and fall virtual open houses — all from the comfort of your home.

One of the best ways to get to know Grinnell is to meet current students. We believe our admission interns are a great sampling of the students who choose to attend Grinnell; see who they are, where they come from, and some of the things they’ve done while at Grinnell. And if you have any questions for them, feel free to contact them.
If you are a counselor for high school students or a college advisor for a community-based organization (CBO), you are among our most important partners in identifying students who will thrive at Grinnell. We invite you to connect with us.
