<p>We are coming from California and we would like to visit both schools during spring break. How far a drive is it from one to the other? Any suggestions on how to do this with ease would be most appreciated. Thank you!</p>
<p>I believe that Kenyon is a little more than two hours from Oberlin. Oberlin is outside of Cleveland, Kenyon is outside of Columbus.</p>
<p>Google</a> Maps</p>
<p>you'd probably want to fly into Cleveland, rent a car and go to Oberlin, then Kenyon. You might want to check out Denison too, which is very close to Kenyon (maybe 45 minutes drive)--we saw it as an afterthought while seeing Kenyon and Oberlin and my son ended up applying to all three. You could also fly into Columbus and drive to all three.</p>
<p>We saw Oberlin and Kenyon last Monday. It can definitely be done, but Yahoo maps sure took us on some back roads to get there.</p>
<p>Yeah. Whoa. Be careful: those backroads are confusing and not so fun to use.</p>
<p>There are a lot of schools in that area. I would check out as many as possible as long as your there. I would try Wooster and Earlham as well if your interested in Oberlin. They both had the kind of granola feel that Oberlin did and I think Wooster is less than an hour away. Then again if I remember correctly I fell asleep on the way there. :D</p>
<p>Earlham (my alma mater) is about 3 hours from Oberlin in Richmond, Indiana. Assuming it has not changed much, it would still have a "granola" feel as a Quaker college. It is a little under-rated, in part because it refuses to cooperate with US News. But it is listed in the book "Colleges That Change Lives." I thought it was a great school for me, but my daughters refuse to even look at it.</p>
