<p>Yos,
The workload will depend on the classes that you have and your major. It is fair, however, to generalize and say that there is a large amount of work. It is definitely more than high school. I have found that it is pretty manageable. The professors are also very understanding. As long as you are putting in effort, they will work with you to make sure that you are able to do your best. You should be prepared to get different grades when you come here though. I was an A student in high school and I get mostly B’s some A minuses but I work really hard for them.
The history department offers some pretty cool opportunities and options for the history major. You will pick a topic to concentrate on:
Regional: Americas (Latin America and U.S.), Asia, Europe, Africa and African-American
Comparative: Medieval, Women’s and Gender, Colonial/Imperial
There are also distribution requirements within the major (you must study every period of history). I would suggest you check out this link: [The</a> Major - History - Kenyon College](<a href=“http://www.kenyon.edu/x12917.xml]The”>http://www.kenyon.edu/x12917.xml). Also, most history majors choose to study abroad.
The student body here does have some groups, but I don’t think it is anything out of the ordinary. Everyone is really accepting and welcoming, and I think every student, no matter how unique, has an easy time finding a lot of friends with similar interests. No one gets left out.
Let me know if you have any other questions!</p>
