[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would a "normal" non-athlete, non-Granola, non-artsy, non-writer person be happy at Kenyon?[/quote]

Sure.  My DD is a senior at Kenyon; she's is an athlete who has friends who would fit this description.  Not surprising to me because the vibe there is accepting and friendly.  I think the big question with Kenyon is how the prospective students feels about being at a small school in a rural area.  You have to be the kind of person who doesn't need to have shopping, restaurants, bars, clubs, etc.  That's probably why there are so many Kenyon students play sports or participate in the arts -- they're busy doing with those activities and don't have a ton of down time anyway.  My guess is that most Kenyon students figure that they're unlikely to be living in a rural area forever, so why not spend four years in a place where the students are happy and the teachers are excellent and actually care about teaching.

This is my kid. She's a drama student and she and her friends spend quite a few weekends over the semester seeing each other's plays. She's super busy with this. There's a ton of theater on campus for those who are interested. As PP said this is not the school for you if you want to go clubbing, bar hopping, etc. But, this is not unique to Kenyon. Most LACs are pretty isolated with campus being the center of social activities. [/quote]
