[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grinnell is great - a bit too woke and wacky but it’s massively underrated

Oberlin/kenyon/denison are really hampered by Ohio — Ohio is truly dire whereas the middle of Iowa can be pretty in a little house on prairie way (golden hour Iowa skies are gorgeous)

[b]If the Ohio schools were in traverse city or Madison or Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho , they would be ranked higher.

Ohio is not just “in the Midwest”

It’s one of the most run down and depressing states even compared to non-coastal states [/quote]

Hmmm.  I can take Ohio or leave it. But, Cleveland and Columbus were both surprisingly revitalized and nice when we visited. [/quote]

Super weird take on Ohio. It has hundreds of miles of lakefront, the Appalachian foothills, beautiful flat dreamy farmland sunsets in the west, dramatic ravines and hills in the NE, and major areas and education institutions. But ok, the entire thing is run down and depressing? And more depressing than all of Idaho or Wyoming?!

I’ve spent a lot of time around Cheyenne and some truly yuck and frankly scary parts of Idaho and the only place in Ohio that I’d trade for those areas is maybe Findlay.[/quote]
