Which is better denison or kenyon

This complete guide analyzes both the quantitative and qualitative differences between Kenyon College and Denison University. The table below summarizes some of the most important statistics around competitiveness, costs, etc. However, this sticker price may not adequately represent the difference in living costs between Gambier and Granville. Kenyon College is in a East North Central and Denison is in a East North Central - sometimes off campus meals and housing costs can dramatically vary between schools.

However, each college is looking to fill its incoming class with a variety of students with different strengths, backgrounds, etc. Therefore, the acceptance rate alone is not a good indicator that Kenyon College is a better school or will be more difficult for you specifically to get into. On the flipside, Denison University is easier to get into based on acceptance rate alone. Both colleges provide on-campus living options.

Most importantly, though, check out the video below for a sample of dorm tours at each school. The Kenyon College campus is located in Gambier, OH and is characterized as Town: Distant in urban cluster more than 10 miles and up to 35 miles from an urbanized area. The campus is pretty, but oddly configured. Our tour guide, Michelle, from NYC, aptly described it as a dog bone with the academic quad on the one side and the residential quad on the other end and a skinny town in between.

Full report for Ohio Wesleyan University…. We approached the beautiful campus from the bottom and looked up at a gorgeous green hill. The campus felt very collegiate and peaceful. Wittenberg was named after the city in Germany where Martin Luther, the founder of the Lutheran religion lived.

While Wittenberg is a Lutheran university, the student body was very open to other points of view, ideas and cultures. I have always heard great things about The College of Wooster, so I was excited to see what all the hype was about. I was not disappointed. A student playing the bagpipe, dressed in full Scottish regalia, greeted us. Wooster is one of the few schools that has a bagpipe in their marching band and offers a scholarship specifically for students who play it.

Oberlin is a music lovers dream. As we walked into the new music building a student randomly broke out into song. In the end, I chose Kenyon. It was a hard decision to make, but to me Kenyon felt more relaxed and comfortable. I loved Denison, but often found myself intimidated by the grandness of the school itself and the students that went there.

All in all, I clicked better with Kenyon students. Also, having my grandparents 5 minutes away helps A LOT with this process. Not only did the connections with others in my class play a large role in my decision, but it mostly came down to the 3D art program. Kenyon on the other hand had nice spaces for student art and an environment and building I felt more comfortable in.
