[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here, not the Kenyon college admissions employee, but following this thread because my sister went to and loved Kenyon. DCUM is [i]very high[/i] on Google results, so any admissions employee who is googling to see how people are discussing Kenyon will find this easily.[/quote]

Also NP here.   One must take a post (if it is one0 from an admission's employee with a grain of salt.   Helpful not doubt so if for "real" thanks.   But readers of this thread consider that the poster is paid to promote the school.  As a reader, most interested in hearing what current or past students have experienced.    We had a friend's DD attend and she couldn't wait to get away from it given how rural it is.  [b]We were shocked to hear it was at least a good hour away from any meaningful civilization. [/b]  But, one supposes that the student should have thought that through....if one is into "urban" living, definitely not the school to attend.  [/quote]

How do you define "meaningful civilization"?  Traffic lights?  8-lane roads?  Strip malls?  Outback-Cheesecake-PF Chang's-PotteryBarn-Generica?  If that's your definition, then it's not.  However, if meaningful civilization is drama, music, cultural offerings, an intellectual community, then Kenyon is it.  And it's got one of the most beautiful campuses around.[/quote]

Sanitized lily white college campuses are NOT exemplars of "meaningful civilization."[/quote]

You like crime-ridden urban areas with thugs and ho's?[/quote]
