My D is now a rising sophomore at another school, but we are from Ohio and we looked at all of these schools (and visited them). Thoughts are as follows: Denison - personalized, individual tours. Cute downtown. Even though it didn’t seem overly Greek to my D, she did not like the vibe - said it was too preppy for her taste. Not a lot of diversity at all. Oberlin was too liberal for my D (and our family is pretty liberal, so that’s saying something). Tour guides were very artsy, and did not seem particularly well informed. We toured the dorms here, and they were abysmal. Kenyon was the school she liked best of all, but had concerns about eventually outgrowing the school. Their dorms could use some work as well. Not a lot of diversity, either. It is beautiful and rural. Our NPCs were more or less equivalent at all three. Denison at one time had a full tuition NMF scholarship, which would have put it in the running, but I think they dropped it a couple of years ago. The food at Oberlin is very good – my next door neighbor is one of the chefs there. Case was never an option for my kid – she felt it was too close, and the most merit we heard of anyone receiving was $32k. Most of kids from my D’s HS stay local, and OSU is pretty much the holy grail for these kids, although we do have a few going to Kent, University of Akron, College of Wooster, Miami of Ohio, Ohio University, Otterbein, University of Cincinnati, Ohio Wesleyan, and the University of Cincinnati.
