Back in 2020, my daughter chose Kenyon over Grinnell, although the cost difference was relatively small ($5K more per year at Grinnell). She liked them both, but Kenyon seemed to be a little better fit for her interests at the time (and a little cheaper). My husband and I are both academics, and we consider them peer schools and didn’t worry about the ranking. We have a friend who is a professor at Grinnell and she confirmed that they view Kenyon as a peer school. Our daughter is super happy at Kenyon and would have also been very happy at Grinnell most likely. All these LACs are more similar than different.
