Kenyon is the top Ohio LAC and remains highest ranked by USNWR.  CDS data convincingly shows highest quality student body academically.  Faculty compares well with any LAC in the country.

As has been chronicled here, Denison plays a game where they waitlist kids while simultaneously offering them merit scholarships.  This likely explains the low acceptance rate.  They accept you once you accept them.

That being said, Denison is solid.  Very nice campus in nice town.  Somewhat larger than most LACs.  Has the vibe of U of Richmond and physically resembles it.  The endowment is around $1 billion which allows the school to compete on merit.  They are definitely giving Kenyon a run for their money, but Kenyon has the historical prestige, intellectual culture and a certain magic to it.  And Kenyon has improved financially itself in recent years.

Both schools are strong athletically in certain areas and have strong school spirit.

Oberlin is drowning in its own self-inflicted woke wounds, sadly.

Wooster is a great place to get an education for smart students who may not have knocked the ball out of the park in high school.

Wooster's academic profile looks pretty similar to Denison's actually == SAT 1260-1430 with slightly more submitting to Wooster.  That surprised me.[/quote]

I've visited both schools within the past year or two.  Denison campus vs Wooster is like Ritz Carlton vs standard Marriott.[/quote]
