Pick one!

Kenyon students are eco-friendly and like to stay hydrated (whether or not that is exclusively to lessen hangovers is completely up to you, dear reader) and likely to have a reusable water bottle. Yet, not all water bottles are made equally, and Kenyon students definitely show their preferences.

To many students, Hillel exists only as a Sunday morning treat, a safe haven that lures in innocent first years with the prospect of bagels, only to immediately run out (no, I will never let go of that). But for sophomores Andrew Pochter, Colin Finnegan, Zoe Lyon, and Rebecca Varnell, it’s home, a place of elephant tapestries, Yiddish fridge magnets, and probably UNLIMITED bagels. See more pictures after the jump!
