A graduating seniors reflections upon his time at a LAC (Kenyon)

<p>Maybe by senior year, you'll take a course that basically teaches you that nothing is 100% pure FACT.</p>

<p>If even ONE person has been affected by not locking a door, it is not FACT that there is no problem.</p>

<p>The person who wrote the original post has the authority and right to say what he or she said, just as you have the authority and right to disagree. But to say that the original poster is not telling the truth is just as bad as the stealing itself.</p>

<p>hinjew, try and tone it down a little. you've just said yeahmeh's disagreement is the same as stealing, kind of absurd.</p>

<p>Perhaps some students could list the positive aspects of the Kenyon experience.</p>

<p>Despite what myself and others may have portrayed, people at Kenyon are generally truly nice and kind people.</p>

<p>It's Ohio.. how can you not be nice?</p>

<p>"It's Ohio.. how can you not be nice?"</p>

<p>Now that's a generalization if I've ever heard one...For example, some people weren't so nice to many Kenyon students last year during elections.</p>

<p>But even the "not nice" people at least have their reasons--it's a community of thinkers.</p>

<p>That's true. It is a broad generalization. But from my experience, people in Ohio have been on the whole nicer than most states. But, this is simply my experience and as we know all generalizations are in fact false... </p>

<p>What do you mean some people had their reasons? I do know Kenyon students are a bit different than the surrounding area, but does it cause much for bad blood?</p>

<p>Kenyon Senior sounds like my son. He is also a senior, but at Denison. He spends all his free time playing games on the internet. With all the activities he could be doing, he plays games. College is not for this! I find it hard to believe that instead of transferring, Kenyon Senior stayed where he was not happy.</p>

<p>I think unhappy college kids are normal. Angst is their way of life. The true test is how you feel about your Kenyon education when you attend graduate school, or farther down the road in your career. I suspect you will have a whole different opinion of it then.</p>

<p>(I always find it very discouraging, though, to hear so many disgruntled kids who have spent $40000+ per year for their educations. Just check out studentsreview.com. Yikes.)</p>

<p>On a separate note, think carefully though before you bash a school on the forum. Many kids have just recently committed to Kenyon. Is it fair to them to be unduly swayed by rather harsh criticism - especially about things that really do not relate to education? Are you entitled to your opinion? Well, yes, but I think you should just be a little more careful about how you present it. </p>

<p>Outgrowing a school is normal, maybe even desirable. Is that part of the underlying problem here?</p>
