Tiny Town
Tiny town, but most of what you need. Transportation anywhere else is almost non-existent. Shuttle once or twice a day to DSM for break. Hard and expensive to get home.

Little Diversity
Mostly middle class white kids, some black kids on scholarships, some internationals. Everybody is extremely liberal politically, though.

Can't Get Away
Nearly impossible to get away, even for break. The college runs 1 or 2 shuttles per day to DSM, none to CID. Flying anywhere will cost close to $400 round trip. One Greyhound line runs through town with infrequent and slow service. No train available.

Little Diversity
Grinnell is about 2/3 middle class kids from extremely liberal backgrounds. There is virtually no diversity of opinion on campus, and criticism of politically correct views is not tolerated. The remaining 1/3 are split between internationals and minority students, some who integrate and others who form tight cliques.
