Is Kenyon a good fit for me?

Take a deep dive into the data/demographics on the student population at your schools of interest, there are lots of sources out there, including data from US News rankings, Common Data Sets, NY Times article on economic diversity at colleges and universities, and other sources. For Ohio schools, the data shows both Oberlin and Denison are more non-white, and more economically diverse than Kenyon. Grinnell in Iowa would be another school – diverse, open, community, though travel from NYC would not be simple. Vassar should definitely stay on the OP’s list. Macalester sounds like another good fit, except for the fact it is in St Paul, MN and not the bucolic environment OP is looking for.
