One thing I will say is that while my daughter has a lot of non-athlete friends there is a bit of a divide between athletes and non athletes on campus. I feel like this happens a lot at SLACs though since my older child attended a similar school as a non-athlete and claims she never met any “sports people” LOL. That being said, it’s a pretty diverse place with strong academics and a really cute little town. My daughter doesn’t care that it’s remote even though she was concerned at first.

Also a random thing but Kenyon has a lot of campus cats who love the students. My daughter is so happy about that because she misses her cat at school. She carries treats with her every day for her Kenyon cats.

Campus cats - so cute!

Do you mind sharing your DD's gpa/test score? Know too much to ask for HS but if you can do "MoCo W" or "Big 3/4/5" would be appreciated.

DC interested, but am worried that overenrollment at many schools is going to have negative implications for HS Class of '22.

Kenyon also is very open to having dogs around campus, from the HOS down to a student, from office, to classrooms to the dorms. Lots of Instagram accounts for the various pups traipsing through Middle Path!

Most schools like Kenyon will have a drinking culture but it is unlikely to require participation and there will be lots more activities for students to do. Small isolated schools survive not because they drink day and night but because the Administration ensures there is lots going on.

This is only partly the case. DC attended and definitely felt heavy pressure to participate in the drinking. Social outcast for those who don't.
