<p>collegefreshie thank you so much for your response.
It seems that I have already felt the warmth of Kenyon community.</p>
<p>I am just unsure if I can fit in the life at Gambier becos I have always been living in big cities.
And thanks for assuring me that Kenyon is a prestigious institution. It is practical that most foreign students are more ‘brand-conscious’ as liberal arts colleges are rarely known worldwide, as compared to their University counterparts such as UCBerkeley and U Michigan.</p>
<p>Personally speaking although I could not say that I can definitely make it to Kenyon, my scores look decent and I could have applied to somewhere else. But I have chosen Kenyon, partly because of my financial hardship which has prevented me from applying to more well-known schools (a friend of mine got into U of Michigan with a SAT score of just 1900+ and TOEFL 100… ), so I really want to be assured that I have made the right decision and my investment will get good return.</p>
<p>I hope you understand how I feel as a foreigner.</p>
<p>Anyway I do love Kenyon and I have done extensive research about the school. I do not want to go there first and then transfer out later. So I want to make the right decision now.</p>
