| I was at Kenyon over the summer and it was essentially the Garden of Eden. The campus is beautiful without being intimidating, and Middle Path makes it impossible to get lost. There's an overwhelming sense of community - there are so many places to run into professors and peers, like Middle Ground or the deli. Everyone seems so comfortable and relaxed, like Kenyon is the only place on earth that they would ever want to be. During my interview, I had tons of questions about academics - Kenyon's creative writing was initially what drew me to the school, but I'm most likely pursuing a double major in Modern Languages. Their teaching methods, like the KILM approach to foreign languages, were incredibly appealing. I made the decision to officially apply ED after the interview, because I saw how friendly and caring the Admissions office is. I don't think there is a single thing about Kenyon that I didn't fall in love with.
P.S. If you don't get the chance to visit, the virtual tour on Kenyon's website is just as good - they're not the kind of school that takes pictures of their prettiest buildings but not of the ugly ones. Everything really is THAT gorgeous. |
