[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMHO they are all basically the same academically, so choose the one your kid likes best.[/quote]

+1 it’s all angels dancing on the head of a pin at this level [/quote]
So Kenyon is the same level as Pomona? Yeah…right :lol: [/quote]

Yes.[/quote]
This is delusional. Someone is Kenyon boosting for no reason.[/quote]

Not PP - but honestly what greatness is going to befall a Pomona grad that will elude a Kenyon grad? The percentage of the population that has heard of these schools or can meaningfully differentiate among them (including educated people) is very small. Frankly the debates that take place here - where there is vast disagreement about the schools among people who are weirdly obsessed with them - prove the point.  It’s like asking which of two obscure cheeses nobody heard of is definitively better. [/quote]
I can’t tell if this is the DC bias or an honest opinion. There’s quite a bit of professional and academic outcome difference. I get that most people haven’t heard of them, but any recruiter would see the difference, unless you’re applying for a job in Cincinnati. [/quote]
+1, saying that you can’t tell the difference between Williams and Oberlin or Pomona and Kenyon is a ridiculous statement. It’s definitely an incorrect and dumb assessment by a mom “fed up” with LAC talk.[/quote]

Honestly, you take the same kid, put him or her at any of these schools, they will likely end up in the same place. [/quote]

Probably the smartest statement on DCUM today.[/quote]
