OP, is your kid preppy and from an independent school. If so, your DC will enjoy the social life much more at Conn College. Kenyon's preppy kids are vastly outnumbered by the artsy odd-ducks that make up a large chunk of the student body.

OK, Muffy, 1962 is calling you home. Time to put on those Bass Weejuns and wait for mummy to pull up in the station wagon.

Heck, even 1982.

Google famous alumni and compare the two schools

Putting aside "famous" alumni, any insights into the strength of the alumni network of either school?

I went to Conn and it was very helpful. I reached out to alumni that were in a very small field I chose and they put me in touch with the right people and within a month I had a job.

I can’t find the link but there is some data that shows how Kenyon alumni are nicely distributed throughout the US with major clusters in NY, LA and DC. It really is very diverse geographically, drawing from East coast, Midwest and west coast, perhaps a little lighter from the south. Kenyon alumni networks reportedly very tight and we’ve seen a lot of comments here about the DC network.
