<p>Well, I wouldn't say sports, though they have a unique basketball team and most students do some kind of sport for fun. My son is a first year student and really loves his classes and it seems to be very socially inclusive and friendly. The student clubs and parties sounded more interesting than at any other of the 20 schools he looked at. It does provide an outstanding undergraduate education and a creative atmosphere. Great facilities, internship opportunities, study abroad, most students are active in community service, politics, etc. Classes are small and discussion-based.</p>

<p>One thing that is unique about the sports program -- Grinnell has an "anybody can play" policy. So, even if you've never played a sport before, you can join the team. You might not see that much playing time, but it's great for people who aren't necessarily that athletic, or people that want to learn a new sport.</p>
