I have friends who are happy at each of those schools. Academically I would say that these three schools are essentially a push. CC is a tad less prestigious, but you’re not going to any of these schools so you can drop an ivy-league name at parties.

As you probably know, Kenyon doesn’t have a creative writing major but offers it as an “emphasis.” Oberlin also has an exceptional creative writing program. Just know that even though you think that’s what you may want to do now, once upon a time I wanted to be an english major with a creative writing emphasis, too. A semester and a half into Kenyon I pulled a pretty big 180. I can say with certainty that at Kenyon regardless of what you want to do after college, you will be well taken care of.
