[quote=Anonymous]My experience with Kenyon is 15 years out of date now, but based on what I've seen or heard the student body hasn't changed much and it sounds like your son would be a great fit. A lot of students I knew from Kenyon at the time were very much like your DS. Work hard during the week, enjoy parties on the weekends, active in campus groups including music groups.

Regarding finance, there are Kenyon grads in finance. He will probably have to work a bit harder to get into NYC finance but it's not as difficult as some may think. The trick is getting several solid finance internships lined up during his undergraduate years. Network, use any connections, even take a free internship just to get that first finance internship in the summer after his freshman or sophomore year (any bank or firm in DC or elsewhere will be fine, it's getting into the door that's important), and if he works hard and does a great job, he'll be well placed for subsequent more senior summer internships and eventually a NYC job after college. The more effort he puts into it, the greater the rewards, and this is true from any college.
