Poweshiek
7.2
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Grinnell (pop ~9,400) is home to Grinnell College — one of the most selective liberal arts colleges in the country — which creates an unusual social pocket in central Iowa. For a town of 9,400, Grinnell has a high concentration of international students, faculty from around the world, and young educated people passing through. The college's progressive culture creates a social environment that is genuinely more welcoming to outsiders than virtually any other small Iowa town. The limitations are obvious — it is still small and isolated in the middle of Iowa — but within those constraints it is about as open as rural Iowa gets.
