Grinnell College User Reviews and Ratings
The Best LAC in the U.S.
By MommaBear, From California
My daughter turned down several better known schools to attend Grinnell, and I am very happy that she did. The quality of education at Grinnell is unsurpassed. My daughter's curriculum has been entirely customized to suit her interests and long-term goals. Grinnell is academically rigorous. My daughter's courses have been broader, deeper and more challenging than those of her older brother who attends an Ivy. She has also been taught in a more nurturing and imaginative way. I could not be happier with this school. For a small school, Grinnell provides a huge number of activities. The athletic resources are top-notch. I cannot recommend this school too highly.

Holistic Education
By Mars 2010s, From San Francisco
Grinnell imposes its will of open-mindedness and liberal arts in all facets of student life. Beyond its broad-stroked approach to pedagogy, the school emphasizes a very important skill for any life after Grinnell College. No one will graduate from this institution unable to write. I have come to appreciate that skill in the real world where writing often feels like a lost art.

Friendly atmosphere, vigorous academic and large endowment
By SW, From Philadelphia PA
Grinnell is a gem. Before landed here, I can never imaging to study in college could be so much fun and yet vigorous, by the meantime, you get so much support from professors and alumni for your academics and career. We are very satisfied with my kid's choice.

A Wonderful College
By M, Class of 2017, From Oita Prefecture, Japan
My years at Grinnell were challenging, but incredibly rewarding. I made wonderful friends and memories at that school. I learned many things. More importantly, I also unlearned a few things, and gained the flexibility, critical thinking, and research skills needed for me to keep learning for years to come. I love this college.
