While Kenyon is known for its theater and writing programs, there will be plenty of “sporty” kids there. Dickinson is known for its environmental sustainability and international focus. Both schools have greek life in the 25% range so, a presence but not overwhelming. Bigger differences would include (1) size of student body – 1800 at Kenyon vs. about 2400 Dickinson; (2) location, picture perfect but very (very) small village of Gambier vs. charming but larger town of Carlisle with a campus that feels more “busy” because there is a road that divides two sides of campus; and (3) economic background of students, as Kenyon has almost 20% of its students from the top 1% economically. We know students from both, and they have all loved their experiences and gone on to successful careers.
