[quote=Anonymous]We just got back from visiting Kenyon as our STEM DD got in RD.  Unfortunately,  she was rejected from Oberlin,  which was her top choice,  mainly for the sciences (regret not having done ED, when she would have had a chance).

She was choosing between Kenyon anc Bryn Mawr.  We liked both campuses.  But chose BM for three reasons.  1. Kenyon didn't seem to emphasize STEM. All we heard about was writing,  which was fine,  but not what DD wants to do.  2. Kenyon truly is in the middle of nowhere.  There is the college bookstore and a coffee shop and post office that makes up the town, and then literally nothing for miles. We drove on a country road for nearly an hour before we got there. Calling it isolated would be an understatement. 3. I recognize it might be just who we met, but the students were much preppier and maybe frattier (although not full on bro): than we expected. I'm guessing that they draw heavily from Midwestern suburbs.

I'm sure Kenyon is the right place for lots of students,  but we felt maybe not the best place for our STEM DD coming from DC.
