We think, therefore we write.
Kenyon students have a lot to say, so they write — with creativity and care. From the first time they crest our hilltop campus to their last, nostalgic trip down Middle Path, here are their perspectives on living and learning in Gambier, Ohio.
“The sprawling fields and open sky are the ‘almost there’ of Kenyon.”
“I was en route to the library to do some homework, when I stopped to chat with a friend of mine on Middle Path. A chat turned into a conversation turned into a two-hour-long discussion. I never made it to the library.”
“I can talk openly with a Kenyon professor. I feel like a sponge, ready to soak up all the knowledge that seeps out of the conversations. As I put together my words, I can tell that I am starting to understand the course material more.”
“If gratitude became an image, it would look like a house-full of people I love living under one roof. How the heck did I get so lucky?”
“Being here at Kenyon is as much personal as it is collective. I have had a chance to reflect deeply on who I am, my positionality in the world and what I hold to be fair and true.”
