Academics

Guys & Girls

After a little time at Kenyon, you will become very familiar with a little thing called “the Kenyon goggles.” This is a phenomenon that allows average looking men and women to be thought of as extremely hot by the rest of the student body. Why? For a school once rated as one of the country’s most promiscuous, our general student body is not always easy on the eye. There are a great many cuties, but genuine hotties run few and far between. As a result, ordinary and slightly-above-average looking people find...

Athletics

On a campus comprised of many talented writers, artists, and scientists, sports simply do not occupy a significant spot on the Kenyon student’s agenda. Football games are perhaps the most attended sport, followed closely by basketball games in the winter; however, a Saturday afternoon game will draw only a couple hundred students. The non-athletic student body is also not enticed by the reputation of Kenyon sports, especially in the recent past. The exception that laps the rule, quite literally, are the...
