Fall Visit Days

Feel the rhythm of a Kenyon day when you stroll our iconic Middle Path, called “one of the country’s most idyllic college walks” by Travel + Leisure. Sit in on classes, tour the full campus, and add on specialty tours tailored to your interests. Students are eager to get to know you in candid Q&As, in one-on-one chats, and over lunch in our striking dining hall.

Join us this fall.

Whether you come to Kenyon for a program or a day, you can customize your experience with a student panel, a full campus tour, and your choice of specialty tours.

Welcome and Student Panel

Start the day with an introduction to Kenyon’s people, place and purpose. Ask students candid questions and hear what life here is really like.

Campus and Specialty Tours

Tour the full campus, and then take a deeper look at the arts, athletics, science or writing. Specialty tours can be added to any visit.

Class Visits

Experience learning at Kenyon from the inside by sitting in a course (or two, or three) that speaks to you. You are invited to listen in or join the conversation.

Dining in Peirce Hall

Join student hosts in this community gathering spot, where food and easy conversation fill the room. Families dine with admissions directors.

Workshops for Parents and Students

Get practical guidance for navigating the college search from admissions and financial aid experts.

Follow your interests.

It’s not possible to explore Kenyon’s 1,000 acres and more than 120 buildings on a single tour, so we’ve curated specialty tours that dive deeper into areas of interest. They can be added to any visit.

Athletics Tour

Kenyon’s soaring 263,000-square-foot athletics center and surrounding fields and courts are a fitting home for 23 varsity teams with a record 62 NCAA Division III national titles.
Arts Tour

Whether it’s light-filled studios, state-of-the-art equipment, or theaters and galleries that welcome audiences of all sizes, Kenyon’s visual and performing arts facilities are designed for ambitious student work.
STEM Tour

About 30% of Kenyon students major in the natural sciences. Working in faculty labs virtually from day one, you get both experience and mentorship — a winning combination for advancing in STEM fields.
Writing Tour

Kenyon has shaped generations of writers — bestselling authors, hit screenwriters, Pulitzer Prize winners and a U.S. Poet Laureate among them. See where they got their start.
