[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH and 3 of his sibs went to Oberlin.  Our DS, a student at another university, has 2 good friends who are current students.  The Oberlin alums and students I've met are remarkably bright, engaged, thoughtful, open-minded people.  They are, for the most part, refreshingly unassuming and modest.  A lot of these folks, including my DH and his sibs, went on to great success in graduate and/or professional school and in their careers.  They skew liberal politically, but not uniformly.  It's a small school in a small town, so it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but you can get a fantastic education there (Oberlin is particularly strong in the sciences, art history, government, economics and, of course, musi) and make friends for life.

Agree with above. My DS, not musically inclined, was a recruited athlete, went there. He thoroughly enjoyed his experience. Very liberal, probably a little more than most college campuses. DS really enjoyed his talented classmates, some of whom are now accomplished and well known in the arts. Most of the kids go to graduate school, my son went to law school and is now in a established public interest firm. As a parent of four kids who all went to different colleges, Oberlin was the least known and one of my favorites. [/quote]
