[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with others that SLACs have lots going on and a nearby city doesn't end up being a draw for most kids who are not already hard core urbanites. At the far end of the spectrum, DS and I visited Grinnell last year -- an hour from Des Moines -- and they bring in all kinds of speakers and entertainment. Someone described it as like being on a cruise ship. They know they're off the beaten path and they make a big effort to counteract that. Also, a lot of small SLACs nowadays have zip cars on campus. Kids aren't stranded the way they used to be.[/quote] At Oberlin, students can venture out to Cleveland to listen the Cleveland Orchestra. Or, just wait for it to come to Oberlin to perform. The incomparable Cleveland Orchestra has performed in Oberlin every year since 1919—some 240 concerts in all. [/quote]
