<p>Gambier pretty much is Kenyon. There is a convenience store and a handful of eateries right as you walk off Kenyon’s campus. Sewanee has a similar situation with a few eateries, bike shop, gift shop etc right as you walk off campus. But there is also a CVS, full grocery store, a few fast food places, Dollar General and some stores and restaurants within a few miles of campus in the Sewanee/Monteagle area. A lot closer actually than the nearest comparable places to Kenyon. One is a mountain, the other a corn field. I love both, but I still think Kenyon is more isolated. It definitely helps at both schools to have a car, or friends that have a car:). At 2010 census population of Gambier was 2391; population of Sewanee was 2311.</p>
