No summer before junior year is great! You have time so you don’t have to take it all so seriously but you’ll be paying attention. Neither of my children looked at LACs so I mostly know the schools by reputation. Oberlin is typically known as the most “progressive” of Ohio’s LACs, Kenyon one of the prettiest. Denison is working to raise it’s reputation to the level of the other two and is known for decent merit aid. All are going to be fairly small town rural. If you want a sense of what the Kenyon Campus is like rent the movie “Liberal Arts” it was filmed there and the star Josh Radnor was a graduate there. Cute movie too.
