<p>Yes, Grinnell has computer science. Go to the course catalogue to see the course offerings. </p>
<p>I’ll say the same thing to you that I said to the student looking at Grinnell vs. UW-Madison:</p>
<p>"If you were trying to decide between two LACs, I’d talk about which is the better ‘fit’ culturally. But when you’re comparing Grinnell to UW-Madison, you are describing two completely different educational and social experiences. Both options have their pros and cons, as you noted. But the kind of person who wants what Grinnell offers, would probably not be nearly as happy at UW-Madison and vice versa.</p>
<p>I suggest you spend time thinking through what you really want out of your education, what kind of environment brings out the best in you as a student and a person, and where you see yourself in the future. Once you have a little clarity on these bigger questions, I think the choice between the two will be more self-evident. "</p>
<p>With 31,000 undergrads, you would have a totally different experience at UIUC than you would at Grinnell with 1,600 undergraduates. Have you visited both?</p>
