[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was at Kenyon for the championship soccer game versus Denison this weekend.  The campus and landscape is as stunning as they say.  The athletic facilities are the best I’ve seen for a liberal arts school. The student body as represented at the game seemed very much like that at Denison. Preppy kids, not very diverse. Town of Gambier is teeny and has a Hollywood set type of vibe. Granville has them beat. Along those lines I found it annoying that there were no hotel/motels in Gambier and a college town without a pizza joint is inexplicable.

Minor gripes aside, I was favorably impressed by the sights and sounds of the place.  Despite all this - Go Big Red and congrats on the big win![/quote]

I think there’s some selection bias at play here with regards to the students attending the game. Those are probably the preppy kids on campus. I was just there for family weekend and you’ll see much more of a cross section of kids throughout the rest of campus. But like many liberal arts schools diversity is still an issue and they are working on this. Congrats on the win![/quote]

Yes, I agree, Kenyon is more diverse than some might think. In addition to the preppy jocks, there's the preppy artistic kids, the preppy geeks, the preppy hippies/hipsters, the preppy all-around-nice-kids, the preppy activists, the preppy... you get it ;)

It's a very nice school populated with very nice kids from very nice families. [/quote]
