I would like to hear from current students about the weekends at Grinnell and how much drinking dominates the social scene. I am not a drinker and wonder if there are things to do besides partying. I am not against hanging out where people are drinking. I just don’t want the goal of every weekend to be getting drunk.
Can a guy like me find friends at Grinnel??
You’ll find plenty of friends, don’t worry. There is a lot of drinking on campus, but there are plenty of people who aren’t into that stuff. There are actually a LOT of quiet students on campus who don’t drink or do drugs, but they don’t stand out as much because, well, they’re the quiet students.
