One of my kids spent a couple of days visiting both and ended up at Vassar. Kenyon is absolutely gorgeous (although Vassar’s pretty amazing too), but even though it’s only an hour from Columbus, the students at Kenyon didn’t seem to venture there much. My kid gets into NYC with a friend or two at least once a month. Also, as @robotrainbow mentioned, the parties at Kenyon seemed to be centered around the frats, and my kid much preferred the more “chill” party scene at Vassar. Vassar is well-known to be very diverse in a lot of ways, and my kid seems to have a group of friends that reflects that. Both colleges offer a terrific education, but it was extended visits and an overnight that helped distinguished one from the other - at least for mine. Congratulations on having the choice!
