Admissions Events

Campus events are a great way to meet admissions staff, attend classes, talk with current students and faculty members, and get an overall picture of life at Kenyon, any time in the application process. If you are a high school junior in the early stages of your search, we've got a special day set aside for you. If you're interested in science, we encourage you to come spend a day learning about our science programs. Whether you are able to join us for one of our dedicated visit days listed below or you visit campus on your own, we highly recommend a trip to campus to help you decide if Kenyon is the right place for you.

Registration is mandatory for all visit days. Remember that individual overnight visits are available for high school seniors only.
