[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I visited it when I was applying to college, and I found it somewhat oppressive.  I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, and the extreme rural-ness of it just got to me--literally in the middle of cornfields and I had this feeling of dread of being stuck out there for all of college.  It didn't seem like there was much to do besides drink and participate in campus culture and it felt very preppy.  I was interested in small liberal arts schools, and I had just visited Oberlin, which was much more my style--the campus just felt more vibrant.  Oberlin was also in the middle of cornfields, however it was a 30-45 minute bus ride into Cleveland and the town just felt a little more alive.  I think Kenyon is an [b]hour + away from Columbus, which isn't really much of a city anyway[/b].  I ended up going to Reed, and part of the appeal to me (along with the social/academic vibe) was the fact that I could get the small liberal arts school experience while being in a real city.

That said, it is a lovely campus and the academics seemed quite strong.  For a student who likes the small college experience in a rural area, I think it would be a great choice.[/quote]

This is false, Columbus is definitely a city and a much more pleasant one than Cleveland.  That being said, being an hour a way from it is still pretty rural.
