I don’t know about Hiram being more rural than Kenyon. Both are in out of the way places, and neither has much of a town around them. Kenyon might be slightly less rural, but in my view it’s too negligible to be a real factor between the two. That said, Hiram is closer to Cleveland than Kenyon is to any significant metro area.

Overall, Hiram is a very good LAC and the students I’ve met seem very happy there. You would certainly get a very solid education with lots of personal attention from professors, and the students are fairly close knit. If you are interested in small schools of this type, I’d say Hiram is a very good choice for you as a safety selection.

Similary, I’d recommend you take a look at Heidleberg, Wooster, Wittenberg, Ohio Weslyan, and Denison, which also have good merit scholarships. However, I’m not sure about the strength of their CS programs. You’d have to look into that. Good luck.
