[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are so similar academically. Kenyon “ranks” higher and has slightly higher test scores, so posters erroneously assume that means better. I think it comes down to student body. Conn College is going to have a “cooler” party crowd, while Kenyon definitely attracts a quirkier, more strait laced student, who has no problem with being in the middle of nowhere Ohio. Also, every person I have worked with who went to Kenyon has had a weird combination of arrogant with a big chip on their shoulder. Granted, that’s just a handful of people, but to a person, they have all been like that. A student in my DD’s senior class in HS who is planning to attend is like that as well. It’s uncanny.

Lol. “Cooler.” CC is respectable but it’s way down the list in terms of small colleges in New England.

Kenyon is clearly top 5 in Midwest with Carleton, Grinnell, Macalester and I guess Oberlin.

Academically, Kenyon lacks in certain areas (notably comp sci which is getting built up) but is otherwise strong across the board including sciences. In English, as well as social sciences and humanities generally, the school is hard to surpass. [/quote]
