Reviews of Kenyon College (College)

K Miller

Never attended Kenyon but from what I hear, it is a college for privileged elites and teaches a liberal agenda. But I love the coffee shop.

Class of '99. Four of the best years of my life.

The most beautiful college campus I have ever seen.

I went to Kenyon from 1986-1990. I wanted a small school and that's what I got. I liked it quite a bit - great teachers - I was a chemistry major. I think some of the science majors were particularly good since the class sizes were very low so you really got a lot out of the professors. On the downside it is isolated and if you do not get a decent group of friends it can be a bit lonely. Proud to call myself a Lord!

From what I can see, Kenyon has changed considerably from when I went there. I transferred out after one year in 1959-60. Uncaring faculty made it tough for new students to succeed.

While Kenyon's campus is GORGEOUS, it was also super ISOLATED. I looked at three colleges in Ohio (I'm originally from NYC) Antioch, Oberlin and Kenyon. Antioch and Oberlin got the applications from me, Kenyon did not. Antioch, while small and somewhat isolated as well, had the kind of alternative academic structure I was really looking for. Yellow Springs was a bit more culturally vibrant than Gambier was, though both seemed like sleepy towns to me (as a city boy). Oberlin was more difficult to get into, much more so then Antioch (but Oberlin was close to Cleveland), and then Kenyon was in the middle of the other two in terms of selectivity. I ultimately stayed back east (in Massachusetts) for college, which was the best decision for me in the end, due to cultural and academic resources. Kenyon really does have one of the most stunningly picturesque campuses, certainly on par with other top college campuses like Williams, Amherst, Hamilton, Bard, Sarah Lawrence, Reed etc.....BUT unfortunately lacks the resources those other institutions have in terms of their proximity to major urban areas. Kenyon's size was good for me at 1,600+ students, and the academics were solid (and the facilities were decent for such a small isolated college) unfortunately, Kenyon didn't "tick all the boxes." All that said: Wiggins Street Coffee was a wonderful hang out, and the Wright Center in nearby Mount Vernon, OH is a great facility for the study of Film. Kenyon was just REALLY hard to imagine myself at because of the remote location. However, it was among my favorites of the campuses.

An oasis in the middle of the corn fields. I spent four wonderful years here and, while I can't say I'd want to live in Gambier again, I miss it dearly. One of the most beautiful college campuses in the country, although I admit I'm biased.

I ain't no geography major, but this here Kenyon ain't near Uganda.
