Some colleges border a small town. Others are situated within a large town. Not at Kenyon, where the village of Gambier is located right »Æ¹Ï¾«Æ·middle of campus. This is by design. Students care about what happens here because they live here — this is their post office, their market, their bookstore, their coffee shop.
With a population of 2,450 sprinkled across less than one square mile, Gambier’s location off the beaten path is a vital part of who we are and shapes the way we live and learn in this small, wide-open space.
Middle Path is Kenyon’s main drag and beating heart. It’s a footpath. It’s a village green. It’s a gathering space. It’s a marketplace.
Along with Old Kenyon and its slender spire, Peirce may be the College’s most recognizable landmark.
Located »Æ¹Ï¾«Æ·heart of the village, the Bookstore is an important hub of Kenyon’s literary scene.
Stately on the outside, graceful on the inside, the Church of the Holy Spirit lifts its steeple high above campus, greeting visitors as they come up Gambier Hill.
