<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>my daughter (sr.) and I are visiting Kenton and Wooster on Oct. 9 and Oberlin open house on Oct 10. </p>
<p>Would anyone be willing to e-introduce us to a current student to poss. arrange a “real world” tour? Looks like Admissions Offices closed Sunday at Kenyon and Wooster.</p>
<p>Many thanks,
sulltikk</p>
<p>If you decide to visit Denison, let me know. Sorry, can’t be of help to the other schools.</p>
<p>I’m a Kenyon student. </p>
<p>Just so you know, the weekend you are visiting is the weekend of October reading days, so most Kenyon students will not be on campus. Ordinarily I’d love to show you around, but I won’t be there, and neither will my friends. Do, however, let me know if you have any questions about Kenyon!</p>
<p>hi - I will be at Kenyon on the 8th visiting my nephew and I suspect he will be around on the 9th. E-mail me if you would like me to try and set something up.</p>
<p>Regarding Wooster (and Kenyon). . both are pretty agressive regarding prospective students. . .you might chance a call to the admissions office at both places and see if an “informal” visit could be arranged on the Sunday.</p>
<p>PS - You might try and do the Oberlin open house and Kenyon or Wooster on the Monday. Try one or the other bright and early or end of day. Oberlin is one hour from Wooster and about two from Kenyon.</p>
<p>sulltikk, unfortunately I do not know any students at the colleges indicated. But I want to give you our experiences with open-houses. We went to 2 and both were bad experiences. Our son did not like them and neither did we. Far too many prospectives and students attending and the tendency to get lost in the shuffle.</p>
<p>We had a particularly bad open house experience at Wooster. The session with a faculty member in the CompSci department was just a horrible experience. Prof Hartman(?) spent all the time we were there talking to one family while about 10 other families were left to mill about. After about 10 minutes we left in disgust.</p>
<p>He did apply to CoW anyway but only because it was a free application and he wanted to use it to compare merit aid offers with other colleges he was applying to. CoW offered only $15k/yr and that was the end of that.</p>
<p>If your student is going to Oberlin’s open house and it is a less that ideal experience, I would recommend a second visit if possible. BTW, our visit to Oberlin was terrific and was our son’s first choice until the paultry merit aid offer arrived.</p>

What is CoW?</p>
<p>I believe it’s the College of Wooster.</p>
