Favorite Things To Do
Many students take advantage of the free movies in Harris and on the South Lounge of the Forum on weekends. Plays (also free) are put on both by the college theater department and the Grinnell Independent Theatre group, but tickets (which can usually be found at the box office in Bucksbaum) tend to go rather quickly. The numerous bands that Grinnell brings to the stage also tend to attract a large crowd.
When you need to take a break from studying, there are pool tables in the Harris Center and the Forum, a climbing wall and swimming pool in the PEC, art shows at Faulkner gallery in Bucksbaum, and frequent concerts including classical, student, and professional performances. Punk bands from across the nation are booked regularly.
