<p>If a student at Kenyon doesn’t have the full college experience it is their own fault. There is tons to do…if you want to live the Asher Roth college song you will be able to rather easily.</p>
<p>A few things to respond to here.</p>
<p>First of all, Riceward!'s claim that to not drink at Kenyon you must have a circle of friends who don’t drink as well: totally false. I did not drink at Kenyon and I was a member of a sports team. I never once felt pressured to drink, and at every event there were always nonalcoholic drinks. I went to plenty of parties, had friends in fraternities, and never felt bad about not drinking. I had a blast, whether I stayed in or went out. And, it meant we got to go eat food late afterwards because there was a DD!</p>
<p>As for Colin’s death, he was a classmate of mine and, while none of us got enough time with him, he was a really terrific young man. While he did have some problems, I feel compelled to tell everyone that Colin, without fail, everytime I said goodbye to him when I left a party, made sure someone was walking home with me. This was a fluke thing, and the entire community, whether they knew him or not, felt the loss. That same year, a student intiative was formed called Safe Rides, a program where anyone could call from anywhere on campus and get a confidential ride home.</p>
<p>How do the athletes at Kenyon interact with other students?</p>
<p>Usually by beating them up and raping them.</p>
<p>Normally, I suppose. The is DIII sports at a 1600 person school. Almost 30% of the school plays a varsity sport. There’s no difference between non-athletes and athletes socially. Sports team tend to stick together as a group of friends, but that’s probably the way it is everywhere.</p>
<p>Please tell me everyone gets the sarcasm in fools post…</p>
<p>I laughed when reading that question, Kenyon athletes are student athletes, and hence are just like everyone else when not at practice or events. They don’t live in special dorms, eat in special dining halls, or anything else to segregate beyond sometimes eating at the same tables and throwing parties together for all to enjoy.</p>
