[quote=Anonymous]As I was researching colleges when I came across this thread.  I had no idea that a slac in Ohio had the cachet to engender so much passion on a regional DC blog - positive and negative.  Usually this level of vitriol is reserved for the fancy high schools you like to fight over.  No dog in that fight.

DS is from an unknown public.  He was admitted at Kenyon, Denison, Bates, Haverford, Hamilton, Colgate, Lafayette and Lehigh. Good grades, terrific writer, solid SAT.  Denied at Swarthmore, Colby and couldn't make one of the acadmies work.

Leaning heavy to Kenyon, as he swims, writes and because the place is simply beautiful.  Lots of merit aid at all schools.  I have a much older son who went to Georgia Tech and is very happy and doing very well in his field.

Aside from the disposable vitriol on this thread, is there a reason I should dissuade the son of small business owner from rural Virgina from attending Kenyon?  I understand the Lehigh or Lafayette would be a better fit for my family but my family will not be attending. My son will.  I would very much appreciate hearing from folks and family of those who attended or alumni.  If you have an opinion about me, my son, politics or grandiose pronouncements about the state of education,  you can considered your self ignored.
