[quote=Anonymous]I have a DC at Denison which I suspect has a different vibe than Kenyon.  I also realize it is not as selective as Kenyon, and that Kenyon has a very well regarded writing program.

We too liked the SLACs for our DC but we found the locale matters to our kids, even if it is slightly irrational as their community is the school not the host town.  We drove to Colgate and my kids wouldn't get out of the car,  it was too remote and they didn't want any part of it. While I got upset after having driven all the way to Colgate I actually understood my children's reaction.

When my DC child saw that there was a cute town next to Denison it really made all the difference. And frankly he doesn't go into town often but I think he likes the idea that's it's there. He also likes to go to the Easton mall to the movies (which would also be accessible to a Kenyon student).

So I cannot add anything specific about Kenyon but I did want to add that my kids were very attuned to the location and the surrounding area.

I will add that we and my DC are very happy at a Ohio SLAC. We like the mix of students from different regions. We like the different mix of kids - some athletes, some non, different socioeconomic backgrounds, it really feels like Denison is doing a lot of things well.

I wish you and your child the best of luck.
