I took a gap year and I couldn't've had a more wonderful place to land than Kenyon. Like someone else said, I constantly have moments where I stop and look around & think, "Wow, this is such a wonderful place and I am so lucky to be here." Classes and even extracurriculars are so intellectually stimulating. It's just a gorgeous place, all around.
Overall 4.5
I have had the best semester ever and have pretty much only good things to say. I am close with all of my professors and have loved the intro science classes. My friends are amazing, intelligent, and motivated people. Yes it's small and in the middle of nowhere, I think it adds to the charm though. The food is great, idk what people are talking ab.

The professors are engaging and helpful and the community is supportive. The campus is absolutely beautiful. A top-notch college.
Overall 4.4
The beauty of this campus is unbounded. The community is genuinely connected and wonderful. Expect to come here and join a family of people that are really bonded to this hill. Construction feels constant, and our administration lacks transparency, but we're free to make this place our own and create meaningful relationships while we're here.

One of the most unaccepting and horrendous schools I have ever been a part of. The only thing that makes it somewhat bearable are the people, the extremely political professors, terrible food, and straight up awful housing makes it almost unbearable. Stay away, you will regret it if you go here!
