Kenyon College Students Tell It Like It Is
When you first step on to Kenyon's campus, a student might tell you you've entered the Gates of Hell . . . but don't be scared! This is how Kenyon students in-the-know refer to the two stone pillars that mark the entrance to south campus. Worried you'll be caught off guard when it comes to other insider information about Kenyon? Buy the College Prowler guidebook and get the real deal straight from the students!
How does one describe the atmosphere of Kenyon College? If you like things that are quaint and pretty, then you will be set at Kenyon. Apple picking, haunted houses, blue grass festivals, and homemade pie can all be found within a 30-minute drive of Kenyon.
Other aspects at Kenyon are described as typical.
"It's a typical college dining service. Not great, but not disgusting. As far as AVI Foodsystems goes, it was good for the first few weeks, but then it got old."
Or just okay.
"Housing is okay. Bexley, New Apartments, and Aclands, which are upperclass housing, are a lot nicer than the dorms, which are very antiquated."
But mostly, better suited for those who won't want or miss a big-city atmosphere.
"The nightlife at Kenyon, if you like frat parties, is passable, or so I've heard. If you enjoy hanging out with friends, it's nirvana. There is enough to do if you don't need fast-paced big city life. The Grille is sufficient, except for its distinct resemblance to a nasty basement. I personally am for the abolition of fraternities on campus, so I can't really comment on frat parties."
Not all students who start their education at Kenyon finish their education at Kenyon. Students who transfer after their freshman year are the ones who thought they could force themselves to like what Kenyon is.
But the happiest students at Kenyon are the ones that knew they were going to a small school in the cornfields and looked forward to it anyway.
"I believe everyone at Kenyon has a 'Kenyon moment' that turns a switch and makes you truly appreciate Kenyon for all its good and bad aspects, because with everything considered, it is a one-of-a-kind and wonderful place."
Find out if Kenyon has something for you, straight from the students' mouths. Visiting campus isn't enough.

About the Author:
Welcome to College Prowler®
During the writing of College Prowler’s guidebooks, we felt it was critical that our content was unbiased and unaffiliated with any college or university. We think it’s important that our readers get honest information and a realistic impression of the student opinions on any campus—that’s why if any aspect of a particular school is terrible, we (unlike a campus brochure) intend to publish it. While we do keep an eye out for the occasional extremist—the cheerleader or the cynic—we take pride in letting the students tell it like it is. We strive to create a book that’s as representative as possible of each particular campus. Our books cover both the good and the bad, and whether the survey responses point to recurring trends or a variation in opinion, these sentiments are directly and proportionally expressed through our guides. College Prowler guidebooks are in the hands of students throughout the entire process of their creation. Because you can’t make student-written guides without the students, we have students at each campus who help write, randomly survey their peers, edit, layout, and perform accuracy checks on every book that we publish. From the very beginning, student writers gather the most up-to-date stats, facts, and inside information on their colleges. They fill each section with student quotes and summarize the findings in editorial reviews. In addition, each school receives a collection of letter grades (A through F) that reflect student opinion and help to represent contentment, prominence, or satisfaction for each of our 20 specific categories. Just as in grade school, the higher the mark the more content, more prominent, or more satisfied the students are with the particular category.
Once a book is written, additional students serve as editors and check for accuracy even more extensively. Our bounce-back team—a group of randomly selected students who have no involvement with the project—are asked to read over the material in order to help ensure that the book accurately expresses every aspect of the university and its students. This same process is applied to the 200-plus schools College Prowler currently covers. Each book is the result of endless student contributions, hundreds of pages of research and writing, and countless hours of hard work. All of this has led to the creation of a student information network that stretches across the nation to every school that we cover. It’s no easy accomplishment, but it’s the reason that our guides are such a great resource.
When reading our books and looking at our grades, keep in mind that every college is different and that the students who make up each school are not uniform—as a result, it is important to assess schools on a case-by-case basis. Because it’s impossible to summarize an entire school with a single number or description, each book provides a dialogue, not a decision, that’s made up of 20 different topics and hundreds of student quotes. In the end, we hope that this guide will serve as a valuable tool in your college selection process. Enjoy!
