[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Connecticut is a fine college.

But it’s inarguable that Kenyon has a stronger and more distinguished reputation, is higher ranked, is more competitive to gain admission to, and gets higher marks from its graduates.

DCUM probably attaches too much importance to architecture, but Kenyon gets the nod there too.   There’s nothing wrong with Connecticut’s attractive campus, but Kenyon has one of the prettiest SLAC campuses in the country.

As for location, Kenyon is in the middle of the sticks and about an hour from Columbus, and Connecticut is a gritty faded small city about an hour from Hartford or Providence.  Notwithstanding the east coast provincialism on DCUM, most would consider that a wash.  I don’t think most would consider being within a couple of miles of the Long Island Sound something significant enough to affect one’s choice of college (it certainly hasn’t done anything to reverse New London’s declining fortunes).

Coastal Connecticut is actually an underappreciated region of America but it really shines in the summer (when school is out) and the appeal is perhaps more from a retiree/boating perspective, perhaps similar to the Chesapeake [/quote]
