[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your daughter might be over estimating the time she will spend away from campus.  My daughter is at Oberlin, which is not middle of nowhere but not big city, and she barely leaves campus.  She is not a partier either and usually has small gatherings with friends where they cook or watch movies or similar.  As a PP pointed out, Oberlin has a lot to do on campus as well and the music is amazing.  She has a lot of friends in the conservatory and they constantly have shows to see.  And for those who enjoy sports there are plenty of events to watch or play, both as a varsity and club athlete (and intramural).  I'm guessing a lot of other schools have a similar vibe on campus that your daughter would enjoy once she was living there.

Between classes, clubs, sports, work study and just time to chill out with friends, I don't think most college students find there's a ton of time to plan outings.  That being said, you could do it at Oberlin easily because there is a lot of great biking (flat) terrain and Cleveland is 45 minutes away with regular campus shuttles.[/quote]

Off topic but what is she studying?

We toured Oberlin over spring break. DD liked the size and the fact that the city was close enough to get there if she really wanted but there was also plenty to do on campus.[/quote]

She is hoping to be accepted into the creative writing major but it’s very competitive and not guaranteed. It’s a great community and my D likes the town a lot and never seems to care about going to Cleveland much. I suspect this may change after freshman year but either way there’s lots to do on campus.[/quote]
