[quote=Anonymous]I have hear of all the colleges listed except for Carleton. I am originally from Ohio and can you tell you that I never understood the draw to either Oberlin or Kenyon. Both of the colleges are in the middle of nowhere. Kenyon is built on an old Native American cemetery and the entire campus culture is built around this weird fact.

I am a crunchy granola type and should have loved Oberlin, but again, just a weird vibe. I am not the only who thinks so either. This is coming from a gal that seriously going to school at Hampton College in Massachusetts.

Ultimately, I chose to go to another small liberal arts school in Ohio, which many people have never heard of, but I got an excellent, excellent education that has allowed me to open many doors and become quite successful.

I went to Otterbein College. I benefited from having no class ever larger than 20 people, other than my astronomy 101 class that was taken as an elective. Lots of other great things about the school, too.

What I have learned about going to a school like Otterbein is that there are a number of great schools across the country that give excellent learning opportunities. Trust your gut and not the brand when picking a school for your child.
