[quote=Anonymous]I have known various people who went to Oberlin. The odd thing is that they're all "normal" people. Even one or two Republicans. They enjoyed Oberlin but they also commented on how liberal and alternative / SJW it is these days. There was probably a time in the past where a more traditional or centrist or pragmatic liberal could go to Oberlin and still fit in and have a good time but my perception is that in the last decade the college has become a very intolerant liberal breeding ground. I even hate to use the world "liberal" with Oberlin any more. Kenyon is a good recommendation. As is Denison. Having said that, do visit, try to spend a weekend / overnight on the campus, tell your son to not just focus on the team but the rest of the school and the atmosphere. Oberlin has developed a reputation for becoming a hardcore left/SJW school that a preppy sports player may risk being ostracised by many of his classmates. [/quote]
