[quote=Anonymous]If you put aside the silly (and as the poster noted, unwanted) my SLAC is better than your SLAC posts, there is a lot of good advice here.  I know a number of students who have attended or are attending Kenyon, and they love it, but they also loved it when they visited, and when you are talking about smaller rural schools, a thorough visit (or two) will be important.  Be sure to visit when school is in session or it might feel like an abandoned movie set, and if possible go to an admitted students day after acceptance (not possible with ED if that is what you are considering) because then your child will meet many of the students who would be her classmates.  There are lots of advantages to small rural schools, including Kenyon, as noted in many posts above, and it is also kind of a once in a lifetime opportunity for most students since jobs and grad school are less likely at such places.  But they are not for everyone, and some students will transfer every year, as will also be true with schools in cities or large state schools.    The other thing I would add, most (though not all) kids love college as it is a great time, and that is true regardless of where they go, and hope your child does too.[/quote]
