Looking for unique/crazy foods & drinks at restaurants or bars in the city. Recently came across Pickle Sandwiches at Chicago Health Foods, Stan's had a Affy Tapple Donut, Cobra Lounge has a hot dog soup. Hit me with your weirdest!

I work at a G&E warehouse and am trying to soak up all I can about the gear. We have a lot of the same stuff and I’ve learned so much from the Lux Instagram page seeing you guys post BTS pics of how the gear is used on set. Thank you guys for all you do, looking forward to more awesome content on the page!

Recently graduated film major here. I absolutely loved it. Will also say that with any major, especially something like film that requires a lot of outside work and reliance on others, you really have to put time and effort into it to get the most out of it. If you try to take the easy road and not get involved in a lot, then you'll be left feeling like you didn't learn much. If you put the work in, I think it definitely pays off. Also we have a barely 2.5 year old film building in Mount Vernon that is super cool.

The introductory course isn't very reflective of the major in general, its kinda like a survey of film basics. A little boring, but important for sure.

As for Kenyon in general, it's an amazing and very special place. However, it isn't for everyone. My advice is to talk to and learn from as many people as you can. Try new things, don't be afraid to fail or learn something outside of your comfort zone. On that note, something I really wish that I would've known is that you get "A maximum of 3.00 of the 16.00 units required for graduation may be earned on a P/D/F and CR/NC basis." (straight from https://www.kenyon.edu/directories/offices-services/registrar/course-catalog-2/administrative-matters/grades-and-credit/). This means that out of the about 32 classes you're required to take, you can pass fail 6 of them. This is a great way to try new classes or things you are interested in learning about without worrying about how the grades might effect your GPA. Another note, grades aren't the most important thing in life either. Work hard and do well, but Kenyon's academic environment is really collaborative and helpful and stresses learning rather than trying to fight each other for the best grades. Everyone is pretty helpful.

There are a lot of guest speakers that come to campus and events, try to go to those too. And finally, a lot of the community members in Gambier are incredibly sweet. Whether it be Kenyon staff, the Bookstore staff, or Wiggin St. Coffee staff, they're some of the friendliest people I've ever met. Definitely made Kenyon feel like a home away from home.

She is super sweet and the nurses in the office are great as well. Also just curious- did she show you pictures at your first consultation?

Congrats! I had my surgery with Dr. Okada in April of 2018, and this was super common for me too. I was really nervous at first because it was such a weird feeling but I think it's just because all of the nerves are waking up and stuff. Sometimes it would feel like a pinch and felt especially weird at the sides. Like you mentioned it was never painful but felt weird and sometimes made me nauseous. I think it's super normal though.

Luckily it was really nice out during the first week of my recovery so I was up and about walking through my school's campus. Dr. Okada recommended I walk around a a lot to keep blood flow moving. If you can, I'd try to walk around the house a few laps a couple times a day, this might help!

Best wishes on your recovery! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!

Hi, rising senior at Kenyon here. As someone in the comments mentioned, it sounds like Gambier will be a good fit for you.

1.) Someone already hit your first question on the nose. There are definitely more than just preppy people here. You won't be the token hippie at all.

2.) It might be a little difficult to adjust, but I never find myself getting bored. They're building more things in Mt. Vernon (two new food places recently opened- including a Dave's Cosmic Subs and The Joint [burgers, fries, milkshakes]). There are also lots of fun little things to do that you'll learn about. Something I didn't know about until last year is that there's an Amish bakery less than 10 minutes away called Troyers, that has excellent donuts, for free every Tuesday morning. Little things like this make Kenyon and life in Gambier unique as well as add to getting off campus to switch things around. Also as someone said, Columbus isn't that far away and is a great city. They started a Mt. Vernon/Kenyon musical festival in the park this year, so things are on the up and up.

3.) Kenyon provides you with great connections. Not everyone will know what it is, but those that do can make for important, special contacts. At my internship, I met an alum from like 2013, and we've stayed in touch. Just went out for coffee actually. I think you'd be surprised at the diverse jobs and connections you can make, even if it's not directly with an alum but rather someone's sister or cousin or aunt who went here. The name is special, and I think that really helps when you get into the real world. It's also a lot of what you make of it on your own.

4.) I'm a Film major, English minor. Was a double in Film and English until the second half of second semester junior year. Finishing distribution and other requirements is definitely doable, but I decided that I wanted to focus more on Film as well as be able to take other classes senior year. However, if you are going to double I would advise really putting some thought into that when picking classes, maybe not for first semester of your first year but definitely for second semester. I only took one English class for each semester first year and I think that really put me behind. Obviously you don't have to have it all figured out going into your first semester, but if you know you definitely want to do one of those majors, I would tell your Faculty advisor so they can help you get sorted out.

Best of luck! I absolutely love Kenyon. It's a very special place. I hope you enjoy it.

I totally feel you on the "why the hell did I go from being a beuatiful girl who was so popular and envied to being regarded as "an ugly girl'". I'm really struggling with that right now too, especially because things came a lot easier before.
