[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oberlin and Kenyon are amazing schools. Ohio sucks for sure and the atmosphere off campus is probably way too closed-minded and conservative for most students (and parents).

However, Kenton's writing program is great and the swim team is often the best in D3. [b]Even swimmers like my son who could swim at a D1 program are eager to see Kenyon because of how much everyone talks about it.[/b]

[b]We actually had an admissions rep from a competing NE school tell us how great Kenyon was and my son should consider it [/b]because the swim program was so good.
[b]Went to another competitive LAC in PA and yet another admissions person said that Kenyon was what they aspire to be like in many ways.[/b]

[b]I know kids with great ECs, 1580 SATs and 4.0 unweighted GPAs who were rejected from Kenyon.[/b] It's pretty popular despite being in Ohio.
[b]Once kids are on campus, the surrounding area doesn't affect them much.[/b]
Colgate and Hamilton are great schools but they are about as far as Kenyon and Oberlin and the weather and surrounding area are just as bad.

The above post is just a bit too obvious. Feel like I need to jump in Kenyon's pool just to wash off the bs.[/quote]

I have been at Kenyon's pool for a swim meet and it is very nice and the team is very fast.  The school is beautiful and in the middle of nowhere.  Definately not for all types of students.  [/quote]
