Kenyon College
Situated atop a hill overlooking the farms of mid-Ohio and featuring distinctive Gothic architecture, Kenyon College is a 4-year liberal arts college and the oldest private institution in the state. Kenyon offers undergraduate degrees in over 50 academic majors, minors, and concentrations and all students are required to complete a senior exercise known as “comps.” For students interested in the performing arts, Kenyon is home to the Bolton and Hill Theaters as well as the Kenyon College Chamber Singers, a choir that embarks on an annual spring break tour. For recreation, students take advantage of Kenyon’s location with walks along the neighboring Kokosing Gap Trail.
