have admissions into Grinnell, Trinity and University of richmond--- what is guidance to select one

@esagarh560029 Of these, I’d go with Grinnell or Carleton. Neither have a business major, but both place undergrads very well with businesses or in grad school. My son preferred Grinnell after visiting both, but I know many who love Carleton as well. They are similar in many ways, but a few differences include:

  • Town - Northfield wins in my opinion
  • Facilities - Grinnell wins
  • Nearby Metro - Minneapolis beats Des Moines
  • Open Curriculum - Grinnell wins
  • Endowment - Grinnell wins
  • Carleton enrollment is a little larger
  • Financial Aid - Grinnell wins with frequent merit aid
  • Grinnell has semesters while Carleton has trimesters (trimesters can be trickier for study abroad)
  • Grinnell is need blind, Carleton is need sensitive
  • Grinnell is more international (18% vs. 9%)

Search for Grinnell vs.Carleton on CC. There are many recent threads that go into much more detail. I’d visit both and follow your intuition. Both are excellent schools.
