Worst of

Worst Things

  1. All-nighters in Gund Commons where the lighting is poor
  2. Being surrounded by cornfields can feel very isolating.
  3. Drinking is the main social event available on campus.
  4. Intensive intro-level language classes that meet nine times a week
  5. Relationships are a touchy subject at Kenyon. Students are either just looking for a good time by hooking up with one another or are engaged in a very serious relationship.
  6. Parking on the hill is very sparse.
  7. The winters
  8. The cliques that form
  9. It's so small that everyone knows everyone—and everything.
  10. Getting the classes you want

Expensive

Tuition is a steep $41,090, one of the most expensive rates in the country.

Students Can't Wait to Get Out of Town

73% of students surveyed said that there's no way they would live here after graduation.

Binge Drinking Is a Weekend Routine

I'm not really into it so in hindsight I wish I hadn't come here. Also, if you don't like light beer you're out of luck because that's all frats serve, it's cheaper than diet coke.
