| colgate vs. Kenyon
I have heard that Kenyon is more liberal and Colgate more conservative. I have also heard that Colgate is more of a jock school and has a more dominate fraternity/sorority scene than Kenyon. Can students fit in if they don't go greek? I have to say that at an admitted Colgate student gathering that nearly every student that came to speak on behalf of Colgate said they were a greek member.
I worry that Kenyon has a much smaller endowment (200 mil vs. 700 mil at Colgate --at least before every thing crashed)and think that Colgate can be there for my son if we lose our jobs.
The science building at Colgate is very impressive and seems to exude lots of interdiscplinary interaction...but do not know if this is actually any better in reality over Kenyon's very small student -faculty interaction that seems to be very helpful in getting into med school.
Both schools are great and in the end either would be a good choice--this is tougher than we thought.
