<p>I graduated from Kenyon back in '83. It’s the quintessential liberal arts experience, a complete immersion in your studies, but in the best kind of way. It’s funny to hear people wondering whether they’ll be bored there or how far it is to Columbus. Kenyon’s infinitely more interesting than Columbus! It’s probably the most stimulating environment you’ll ever live in. </p>
<p>But mostly it’s about the friendships and relationships - with your teachers also. It’s very intimate. Beautiful campus, of course, but you’ll be spending a lot more time in your head. The academic standards are very high and you will be tested. You will know how to write by the time you leave, no matter what your discipline.</p>
<p>You aren’t taught at Kenyon by TAs - you’re taught by full professors who love their subject and want to share it with you. They aren’t cynical and burned out; they’ve got the best job in the world.</p>
<p>I’m still in close touch with my friends from Kenyon - most would describe it as the happiest time of their life. Not necessarily the best but the happiest. It’s a profoundly changing experience to go there. If that’s what you want out of college and can welcome it then go there.</p>
