Is Kenyon a good fit for me?

@ChaosParent23 That makes sense to me, and I don’t really mind too much if most students are of one demographic. My middle school was diverse, but it was also extremely segregated. You could see that students formed cliques based on race. All of the Asian kids sat together, all of the white kids, all of the black and Hispanic kids, etc. I would not want to be at any school where I’m only making friends with other POC, rather than being an integrated part of the social atmosphere. That’s partly why I want a small school! And I do trust that Kenyon would be good for LGBT students.

I’m definitely less of a writer, but not in a significant way. I’m kind of enrolled in a LAC through my high school, and it’s heavily based in writing. Lots of workshops that the whole school participates in.

I don’t know if this was unclear, but I’m not especially looking for an artsy school. I only mentioned because I’ve heard that Kenyon students are artsy. My relationship to the arts is just like any person’s. Oberlin has waaay more resources in the arts than I could ever make use of. Not that it’s a problem, just clarifying!
