<p>toledo, that is a great story about Dayton needing ND students :)</p>
<p>I think that Kenyon would like more students from California. (Not Oberlin.)
Kenyon Regional Distribution
New England 12.5%
Mid Atlantic 24.6%
South 9.1%
Midwest (Ohio: 16.8%) 30.8%
West and Southwest 19.2%
Foreign 3.8%</p>
<p>The more “Midwestern” private colleges in Ohio, say Wooster (1880 students) for example, would love to have more Californians. Or other small schools like Ohio Wesleyan (1850 students) or Hiram (1200 students).</p>
<p>Same thing for Minnesota. Carleton and Macalester already attract Californians, but being from California is likely to make St. Paul’s St. Thomas or Hamline love you. Maybe Northfield’s St. Olaf’s, too.</p>
<p>These colleges are not very hard to get into by CC standards so you probably don’t need the geographic hook to be admitted; check for scholarship availability, though. </p>
<p>Also, I think it is a little bit fun to be from out of state at a school where most kids are in state, as long as it is not a suitcase school that is dead on the weekends. My daughter is enjoying being one of a handful of Ohio undergrads at UT in Austin, where there are 50,000 students.</p>
