Step onto Kenyon’s campus and you’ll see why it’s ranked among the most beautiful colleges in the world. Talk with students, sit in on classes, tour the residence halls and athletics center, and you’ll understand what really sets us apart — there’s nowhere else you can be so completely all in.

Schedule your campus visit

Whether you’re mapping your perfect college tour or traveling to Columbus or Cleveland for other reasons, Kenyon is well worth visiting.

Come for a fall visit day

Fall visit days are designed with high school seniors in mind. Meet students and professors, sit in on classes, and explore our new residence halls and action-packed athletics center.

Guidance counselors are invited to experience Kenyon when NACAC comes to Columbus. Sign up for a program designed especially for you on Sept. 15, 16 or 17.

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.
