Kenyon in Our Own Words

We think, therefore we write.

Kenyon students have a lot to say, so they write — with imagination, thoughtfulness and care. Read their takes on what it’s like to live and learn in Gambier, Ohio, and learn more about writing at Kenyon.

“The sprawling fields and open sky are the ‘almost there’ of Kenyon.”

Emma Sniegowski ’18 French, Chinese and international studies major, Philadelphia

What students are writing about Kenyon

Walkman on Middle Path

When a first-year student from Los Angeles took out his earbuds to take in the sounds of Middle Path, his walks between classes took on new meaning.

“Walking home, late at night, I was never alone on Middle Path, even at 2 a.m. There was always another student, always someone who’d just finished a paper or test, trudging home to bed.”

Carolyn Ten Eyck ’18 English major, Framingham, Massachusetts

Ask Kenyon students anything

Seriously. Listen to these students talk about how they’ve changed at Kenyon, how they describe the campus community and what advice they have for incoming students.
