<p>Thank you so much for the info your are giving us!!!! It's so useful.</p>
<p>Was there something you found at Kenyon that is different from what you thought it would be? I mean something that has disspointed you or something that you found to be a lot better. </p>
<p>I'm going to be an international student this fall at Kenyon. Do u know something about the internationals at Kenyon? </p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Oh, one other thing if you don't mind -- what can we expect to receive in April, in terms of college materials, information, etc?</p>
<p>Does Kenyon send the letters exactly on April 1st or do they send them early? I can't wait. I heard its a big packet so any little letters will kill me!</p>
<p>how is kenyon's study abroad program? How many students typically get involved?</p>
<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>I just wanted to let you know that I WILL answer all your questions, but this week is midterms and I'm bogged down with exams, papers and projects. Keep posting if you'd like but give me a few days to I'll make my comeback... Spring break can't come soon enough!</p>
<p>Thanks for understanding!</p>
<p>Hello kc_lady,
Thanks a lot for all the help that you are offering to us. Good luck with your exams.
I have something to ask and hope that you can reply back after your exams are over. I wanted to know about the common on-campus jobs available for international students. I am specially interested in the Radio station and hope you can provide information on that as well.
Thank you once again for the great job you are doing.</p>
<p>Hi kc_lady, </p>
<p>I was wondering... how is the neuroscience program at Kenyon? </p>
<p>Thanks for all of your help.</p>
<p>hello kc_lady,
i am desperately waiting to hear more abt kenyon from u.</p>
<p>Hey all, I'm sorry it's taken me a while-- things were crazy at midterms, then I was away for part of break and then I had a brief forgetful/password issue... so unlike me.</p>
<p>OK, so much to answer...</p>
<p>International students/orientation/etc- I don't know very many specifics, but all of the international students I've met seem really happy at KC, and very well adjusted to the U.S and the college. There is a group called ISAK(International Students at Kenyon or something like that...) that has a pretty large presence on campus, and serves as support for internationals. I don't know anything on I.S. orientation... I'd check in with the college itself if you want specifics.</p>
<p>Hearing from Kenyon, and the materials sent in spring- I applied ED to Kenyon, so I don't really know the whole regular decision process... I heard on the day they said I would, but by e-mail. I got my letter a few days later (it was a big envelope). I know my roommate last year (who applied RD) didn't get an email, and heard a few days late. I don't remember specifically what Kenyon sent in the spring, but I remember wishing they sent a bit more. You get the bulk of your stuff during the summer. You'll get tons of letters from advisors, RA's, departments- it just doesn't stop coming.</p>
<p>Jobs at Kenyon- Jobs are a frequent part of the financial aid package, so there are usually tons of jobs available. The key to getting a job at Kenyon is to apply EARLY. Your chances of getting a job are the same as anybody elses and at Kenyon pretty much everyone is qualified. This year I slacked off and now I'm jobless... There are of course the not-so-coveted dining hall workers, Phonathon workers (they call alumni looking for money), library desk attendants and shelvers... Once you are an upper classmen there are more opportunities such as proctoring intro classes, tour guiding, etc. Chochu, the radio station is an extracurricular, not a paying job, but the people who do it love it. It isn't particularly listened to, but they do a lot and have fun with it.</p>
<p>Neuroscience- Neuro is a tough major, but the people who do it are totally dedicated. The professors (psych, bio and chem... it isn't really it's own dept.) are incredibly smart, but tough. I know a couple of neuro majors who love it, work their asses off, and still manage to have fun, so if you like neuro and have the drive, definitely go for it.</p>
<p>Study Abroad is HUGE. Having a junior on campus the whole year is pretty unusual, unless they are premed or biochem, or another super tough major. I chose not to go abroad because I did a few short terms abroad in high school. Kenyon has a lot of programs available- anywhere you want to go, you're likely to find something. I was considering an environmental studies program in Kenya, one of my best friends is studying Italian and history in Italy all year, another friend is in Ireland studying psych, and other friends just got back from political policy in Brazil/Washington, dance in NYC, psych and French in France, English in England and literature in Russia.
Kenyon offers the same financial aid for your study abroad, so don't end up paying anymore for a semester abroad than you do for a semester in Gambier. It's a great opportunity.</p>
<p>thanks loads kc_lady for all the answers.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for your answers!!!</p>
<p>What are the kind of majors that are considered tough at Kenyon?
What are we gonna do on the freshman orientation? Do we have to take some tests for example on math or English for them to decide what classes we should take?
What are we going to get in the summer from Kenyon?
thanks again</p>
<p>When are RD applicant's going to hear frm Kenyon??
thnks</p>
<p>blip, there is no apostrophe in applicants.</p>
<p>Thanks for answering KC!!!!! :D</p>
<p>My bad! Tht was a typo!</p>
<p>Do all freshman have to live on campus? I ask this because I live in Mount Vernon and don't really want to have to pay for room and board since I live so close. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Pretty much everyone lives on campus- all freshman and sophomores are required to, and only a few juniors and seniors live off campus (you have to apply to live off campus).
I would definitely recommend living on campus freshman year because the dorms are where the most socialization happens.
If you really don't want to live in the dorms and think you have a legit reason to live at home, I would email Dean George Barbuto, the dean of res life. He's a really nice guy and not scary at all. His email address is <a href="mailto:barbutog@kenyon.edu">barbutog@kenyon.edu</a></p>
<p>kc_lady:</p>
<p>What can you tell me about these things?</p>
<p>The mostly rich, whitewashed student body
"Kamp Kenyon"
lopsided student body
pervasive anti-intellectualism
closed-minded liberalism</p>
<p>kc_lady:
I do knoe tht the decisions have been already mailed on 25th,
But as I am an international student, I think they will email the decisions to the internationals...
Are only acceptances emailed or the rejectees receive email notifications too?</p>
<p>Lol, So_delirious, those are very funny...and certainly not pervasive at Kenyon. ;)</p>
