Denison’s rise

No. The schools really are all pretty similar. It's a prestige premium.

Denison is a regional school. Kenyon and Oberlin are internationally known schools. Different league.

I don’t think this is true. Kenyon and Dennison are pretty much peers these days.

Yes. (But it's Denison, with one n.)

Related question: Why are conservative/RW posters on the rise here boosting colleges in the south and places like Ohio, all the while decrying other schools as being too "woke", or having too many "pink haired boys."

We see you and know your agenda.

I’m pretty liberal but I am steering my high school kid away from any school that could not control protesters.

I don't have an agenda, but I don't think it is productive to just dismiss colleges in red states outright. As a fairly liberal parent with two children going to college in Ohio, I think it's important to recognize that no state is entirely "red" or "blue." For example, Ohio passed a constitutional amendment ensuring access to abortion last year. Additionally, one of Ohio's Senators is Sherrod Brown, a progressive senator who has consistently advocated for liberal values. (By the way, his spouse, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer-author Connie Schultz, is a professor at Denison). Broad generalizations aren't helpful. I'd encourage people not to rule out schools in red states without taking a closer look.

I agree with you, but those posters I'm referring to aren't doing these colleges any favors with their rhetoric (pink haired boys, etc.) On the other hand, some posts have made Denison sound appealing and worth doing some research on.

And kudos to Sherrod Brown and his wife for fighting the good fight. However, it was also a Republican senator from OH who, just this weekend on a Face the Nation, opined that Viktor Orban has made some smart decisions for his country, one of which was seizing control of universities and putting them in foundations run by his cronies. Aren't we already seeing something similar happening in Florida, and perhaps Indiana, others as well?

And Virginia? https://www.vpm.org/news/2023-06-29/youngkin-board-of-visitors-appointments-republican-donors-uva
To be fair, I don’t think it’s anything like the Florida takeover.

And yes, I agree the pink hair commenters are exhausting.

I just noticed that Denison rose to 32 on Niche for Liberal Arts Colleges.

Not sure when that happened.

And while I often post in support of Denison in this forum I am surprised by the extent of this rise.

Schools like Kenyon were always regarded as more academic and/or intellectual. I would suspect they still are.

I do think it has a lot to offer - nice school - decent size and a cute town but that’s quite the run they have had…

There are a lot of extremely bright kids getting shut out of higher ranked schools. They fall, and the schools they land in rise.

Clearly Denison is doing a lot of things right by respecting and listening to all opinions from the center, left and right. Whereas many northeast LAC are run by individuals who ram down your throat the progressive left , woke , DEI ideology and if it’s not their way it’s the highway.

Denison was long considered a peer of schools like DePauw and Gettysburg, but these days it’s more like a slightly smaller Bucknell. While it doesn't yet have the same pipeline to lucrative IB and MC jobs, it's attracting a similar type of student and offers plenty of opportunities thanks to its $1B-plus endowment. As it graduates more classes of talented, well-connected students, its network on The Street will grow. Denison is definitely a value buy right now.
