Why I love Grinnell: Part of the reasons why Grinnell is so great is because of the people and the community. Every time I visited campus, I felt welcomed by everyone (“You are welcome here”), and people were always very friendly and polite to me. I consider Grinnell, Iowa to be my second home because of the close friendships I have forged here. Everyone bands together to celebrate events (hosted by different multicultural organizations) like Holi, Drag Show, International Dinner, Cultural Evening, and the list goes on. The people I have met and the community ties that I have make me proud to be a Grinnellian, and I cannot thank Grinnell enough for providing me with an amazing college experience.
