[quote=Anonymous]I guess, I'm not helping here by not "picking" which school but these are all great options.

[quote=Anonymous]Dickinson or Denison? Denison would cost about 8k more per year. Denison is nice and is more selective, but is it worth it over Dickinson?[/quote]

My DC got into both schools and ultimately chose Denison, but I think Dickinson is also a wonderful school and just recommended it to a rising junior. Does your DC have a preference? Did they do the admitted student days? One advantage of Dickinson is you can drive there and back in a day if you are in the DC metro area. It's an easy drive (or flight) to Denison but too long to go back and forth in one day. Fortunately, we like Granville and Columbus, so we don't mind the trips although the cost can add up. Both campuses are beautiful and have great academics. I don't think you can wrong with either. For my DC her choice probably came down to her gut feeling more than anything, but I know she was very impressed with President Weinberg's speech on admitted student day. Denison also has an endowment of over $1B and I think that can be felt around campus.

[quote=Anonymous]Denison or Kenyon? Merit aid of ~20K at both.[/quote]

I may be wrong, but I think Denison and Kenyon have less in common than Denison and Dickinson even though they are both in Ohio. If your student has visited, they might already have a feeling about the fit. If you are from the DC area, I think the analogy of Kenyon being like W&M and Dension being like UVA are oversimplified but seems accurate as far as stereotypes. Here's a few threads on Kenyon vs. Denison:
