does anyone know what each is like socially? I've visited both and fell in love with both but I'm not sure which one I would fit in at best.

major: polisci, philosophy, biochem, sociology (very undecided which is why I like the open curriculums at both)

cost is not a factor

I'd describe myself as a far left hippie which makes me interested in the vibe at Wes but I'm not sure bc it seems more sporty (correct me if I'm wrong) than Grinnell.

I'm also very interested in Grinnell since it has smaller classes and better grad school placement from what I've heard. I'm from NJ and love cities so I flew out to Iowa to see Grinnell and loved the campus but I'm not sure if I'd like the location...

tldr; love the vibes & location of wes and the academics & size of grinnell

@keen stratus I saw this somewhere and I think it actually makes sense for helping you determine which school you really want to go to more: Flip a coin. Before it settles, what is the first school that comes to mind? See the result. Do you wish you could get a re-roll?
