[quote=Anonymous]We all had high expectations for Kenyon as a great fit for DC. But...take a look at it. It is definitely remote -- and not an hour from a major city remote, or Middlebury remote, but a small campus on a hilltop that is a 30 minute drive to a McDonalds (I'm making this up but you get the point). More surprising was the state of the facilities -- I had heard the school's endowment was clobbered during the recession, but the dorms were definitely the worst we saw, anywhere, although maybe it was the contrast with the sparkling new athletic facility that heightened the contrast. Lots of kids from East Coast prep schools, for whatever that's worth. The academics are impressive and the John Green connection is a huge selling point -- you get the feeling half the kids wrote their essays about Looking for Alaska. But although DC applied, got in and thought hard about it, the love just wasn't there. You should ask around -- it's a pretty popular school in these parts and it would be good to get more personalized straight talk. [/quote]
