About
Why Kenyon? Besides the obvious reasons — top-notch faculty, talented students, stunning campus — the greatest advantage of choosing Kenyon is the promise that here, you’ll become the person you imagine yourself to be.
That’s because no matter what you study at Kenyon — whether it’s the nature of gravity in the universe or the meaning of the graveyard scene in "Hamlet" — you will grapple with important questions that challenge you in an environment that nurtures and inspires you.
But don’t take our word for it. Take a virtual stroll down Middle Path and talk with an admissions counselor, a student, a professor. Explore Kenyon's comprehensive financial aid packages. And, by all means, apply. It’s the first step toward discovering if Kenyon is the right place for you.

We seek data, we ask questions, we listen for nuance. We embrace the viewpoints of others, even when those views might clash with our own.

Kenyon College Reviews
The academic side is excellent. The vast majority of your professors will be both challenging and understanding. You willl learn how to become a much better writer. You will get one on one advising if you seek it out. You will generally get to experience small class sizes, interesting and engaged professors, and solid levels of support. The only downside is that as a smaller college course selections can be a bit more limited.
On the other hand the non-academic side of the college will do everything it can to alienate you. It would not be an exaggeration to say the student body by and large dislikes the college as an institution. From ever increasing tuition, union-busting, housing violations (mold, lack of heat etc), inadequate support systems, the ever declining social scene caused by a draconian admin, and being in the middle of nowhere it can be tough to be at Kenyon
