Life at Kenyon

At Kenyon, students live on campus for all four years and that shapes everything. With more than 100 student organizations and countless creative and social groups, you’ll have space to explore what you love and try something new — in community with friends, classmates, bandmates who share your interests.

See Yourself at Kenyon

Kenyon is more than a beautiful setting. It’s a community shaped by the people who live, learn and create here — where traditions take root and everyday moments matter. Writer P.F. Kluge ’64 captured that feeling in “Alma Mater” when he wrote, “When you picture college, chances are, you see a place like Kenyon.” In this video, alumni voices bring his words to life on screen. The videos that follow offer a sense of Kenyon — what it feels like, sounds like, and can be like when you arrive.

Athletic champions

Athletics at Kenyon

With 62 NCAA team championships — more than any other Division III college in the country — Kenyon is a national leader in athletics. About one in three students suits up as a varsity or club athlete, pairing elite competition with academic excellence and character-building experiences within nationally recognized, state-of-the-art facilities.

Prepared for What's Next

As soon as you’re a part of the Kenyon community, we invest in you. As the first college in the nation to formalize faculty advising, Kenyon makes mentorship a cornerstone of the undergraduate experience. Each year, more than $800,000 is invested in student research, internships and other high-impact experiences, including paid summer research across disciplines and funded internships accessible to all students.

A Record of Excellence

At Kenyon, collaboration matters more than competition. Deep mentorship, personalized advising and a connected community — these values shape the Kenyon experience and explain why our students stand out.
