When I was applying to colleges I pretty much assumed there would be drinking wherever I went, maybe more so at bigger universities, but overall pretty consistent at small colleges. Kenyon is more of a party school than I expected, and more of a party school than some peer institutions (I’m mostly comparing to Tufts because I was just up there visiting). At the same time I have a friend who didn’t drink a drop her entire freshman year and had a great time. You can go to a sober event, you can go to a party and not drink (typically a hilarious experience), you can stay in with close friends, or you can decide to party, there’s a lot of options.

FACT: Private colleges tend to have a decent number of rich students from private schools. I’m from public school too with a ton of financial aid, and it just doesn’t matter much if you don’t let it.

THE INTERNATIONAL KIDS ARE AWESOME.
