[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Posts like this are so weird and really say so much more about the poster than the school[/b].  We toured Oberlin recently and didn’t find it extremist or overly woke at all. It came across as having a very chill friendly midwestern vibe.  Really nice kids. We actually saw more protest activity at CMU a few days later lol. They seem to have mended relations with the bakery and honestly, as a parent, I could not care less about a lawsuit from years ago when a different administration was in place.

I do think it’s a bummer that it has dropped in the rankings, but it is still a great school with an engaged student body and I would happily send my student there. [/quote]
 
Umm yes "they say" the poster's opinion. Nothing weird about that. We human do communicate using words at times. Not novel.[/quote]

No, I agree with the PP. Seems this particular forum attracts people with very specific axes to grind with very specific schools. It’s weird.

All these words to convey that others think differently than you? We calm that "weird" now?[/quote]

NP. You need to understand there's relentless troll who starts these threads and sock puppets.

Oberlin is an amazing school that punches well above it's weight. I know two recent grads, they're both doing great. It's known as serious school, with predictable merit aid, and strong national name recognition. Yes, the surrounding area is drug-addled maggots, but the campus is a sanctuary and they take care of their own.

The Oberlin troll also has a vendetta against California LACs. It seems to stem from having been admitted to Pomona in the early 80s and not accepting. Something about Pomona's rise in the rankings has left this person unhinged, yet seemingly retired and living a charmed life with ample time to post here.[/quote]
Where do you get these grand conspiracies from?[/quote]
