It’s a 9:1 student faculty ratio according to US News.  16:1 is the recommended max.

I could find no evidence of a a current student to staff ratio. But 1:3 is low for a private college, but not exceedingly so. Wake, Duke, Vandy, etc are in the 1:4 range.  But that’s not surprising. The Conservatory counts in the numbers and they are very non-faculty people heavy.  Lots of Adjuncts— professional musicians there for short residencies, etc.  So if Wake is 1:4, Oberlin being 1:3 seems right.  And if 1:3 is correct, what’s the issue?  The number tells you very little if you don’t know where the staff are.   Staffing up the cafeteria, maintenance, the counseling center and student health obviously directly helps current students more than a school top heavy in administration and fundraising.
