Finding Your Way

Student Life From Kenyon News - 8 years ago

The morning I moved to Kenyon as a first-year student, I remember feeling butterflies in my stomach as I woke up in the hotel room my parents and I were sharing. Ridiculously enough, I was most concerned by what I saw when I looked into the bathroom mirror: the August humidity had turned my hair into an unmanageable frizz puff, and I was frantically searching the suitcases for my hair straightener.

Sound Tracks

Student Life From Alumni Bulletin - 8 years ago

The smell hits first — a mix of junked papers and leftovers from lunch, with a hint of dreaming rock stars huddled in unventilated quarters for a few hours too long. On one side of a cavernous room, couches and old record covers line the walls; on the other, a long hallway leads to a maze of nooks filled with CDs and stray cables. Somewhere deep inside, two students giggle. Welcome to the home of beloved Kenyon radio station WKCO and its equally prized, albeit less well-known, student-run recording…
