[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)

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]
I grew up in NW PA and went to Pitt. I know run-down and depressed towns.

We wide the OH college tour last year. We were all pleasantly surprised. I was expecting our travels around OH to be similar to our travels around rural parts of PA- rundown and depressing. Columbus and the surrounding areas were anything but run down and depressing. I found the areas on the way to Kenyon and surrounding Kenyon to be much prettier than rural parts of PA. 
Cleveland was also nicer than I thought. I’m a big Pittsburgh booster (seriously, if you haven’t visited, just go) and always enjoy the vibrancy of Oakland and Pitts campus, but the Case neighborhood was just as vibrant and dare I say I found it nicer.

Don’t dismiss OH. You may be pleasantly surprised.[/quote]
