Kenyon might not have Harvard's reputation; it might not have Ohio State's sports teams or the southern state school girls, but for students who choose Kenyon, no college compares. Kenyon calls itself a small place to think big thoughts, and until you leave, you never fully appreciate what a wonderful blessing that is. The professors are brilliant and friendly, and they'll always place their students ahead of their research. Socially the college revolves around frats and sports teams, both club and varsity, along with a few annual events put on by social board or the school. Almost everyone drinks, but drugs aren't big at all. There's no pressure to join a frat, but it retrospect, if I hadn't played a sport, it would have been a good idea. The campus is the most beautiful in the world, or so says Forbes. The KAC (Kenyon Athletic Center) is a new $70 million facility. You wont find a better place to work out or practice for your sport in DIII athletics. Gambier is small, but that's part of Kenyon's beauty. Despite the small town atmosphere, students tend to head to D.C., New York, Chicago or Boston after they graduate. My college friends are now analysts at hedge funds and consulting firms, teachers in inner-city schools, overpaid hacks with the Fed or some agency. Some are in medical or law school and a few are pursuing wild dreams outside the main stream, but we've all found a way pay the bills while doing what we want. After three and a half years, you'll probably think you ready to go tackle the world, but the second you do, you'll long to go back.
