Yes, Dension is in Ohio, but in a part that is not the Ohio "flat-land" sterotype....beautiful rolling hills east of Columbus. I attended Denison many years ago. My S currently attends Colgate, & I now realize that one of the reasons why I find Colgate so appealing is its similarity to Denison in its physical feel....I believe both Colgate & Denison (among other campuses like Stanford & Vassar) were partially designed by Olmsted, of NYC's Central Park fame.
Dension is significantly less selective than Colgate & is SAT optional. USNews LAC ranking in the 50's. I'm biased, but its a great place.....got that friendly midwestern vibe going. My D applied there this past season, loved it & was accepted with lots of merit aid (she is, however going elsewhere out to the westcoast), so Hoobert, if Dension is in the 'safety' category for your D, merit aid is possible & regardless, it might be worth a visit there this summer. [FWIW, my D had been to Colgate many times to visit her bro, and really liked the place, but did not want to apply because of his presense; of the other comparable schools mentioned thus far in this thread, she visited Skidmore, Vassar, Colby, Hamilton, Union, Tufts, and Dension, and only kept Colby, Tufts & Denison on her apply list. Of course, every kid's tastes are bound to be different.]
