College Spotlight: Kenyon College

Why do so many students fall in love with Kenyon College? 💜 Find out in Custom College Consulting’s latest YouTube video, where our President, Jodi L.G. Glou, takes you inside her visit to this highly selective liberal arts gem in Gambier, Ohio — home to about 1,900 students and endless inspiration for writers, thinkers, and creators.

Kenyon immediately stands out for its striking Gothic architecture, picturesque campus, and close-knit community. Known nationally as “the writer’s college,” it has produced an impressive number of acclaimed authors and journalists, and writing excellence is woven into every major, not just English.

Academically, Kenyon combines intellectual rigor with creative exploration. All students take courses in the fine arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, building a foundation that encourages curiosity across disciplines. The hands-on film program offers students the rare opportunity to direct, edit, and produce original films using professional-grade equipment, an incredible asset for a college of its size.

Research is another hallmark of the Kenyon experience. Despite its small size, students have access to numerous undergraduate research opportunities across the sciences and humanities — often working one-on-one with professors who are deeply invested in their growth.

Beyond academics, Kenyon’s strong sense of community sets it apart. Students describe campus life as supportive, intellectually engaging, and authentically collaborative — the kind of environment where everyone knows your name and ideas are valued. With over 120 student organizations, a thriving athletics program, and an emphasis on connection, students find balance between challenge and belonging.

For students seeking a truly personal liberal arts education — where creativity, critical thinking, and mentorship take center stage — Kenyon College is a remarkable choice. 💜📚
