[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oberlin student here again. I'm genuinely interested in helping people learn more about Oberlin and decide if it's a right fit. For those of you who already seem to know that Oberlin would not be the right fit, I hope you find schools that are better for you. Why is Oberlin one of the few schools whose threads get derailed by people pointing out a lack of political diversity which could be said for many LACs and universities? As someone who actually attends, I'm not a fan of Lena Dunham but I also haven't met many people like her, at Oberlin or elsewhere. Keep in mind that every school has a few a**holes.

Yeah, I fit into the same bracket that my parents had set aside enough for state school, which I would've been happy to attend, but the opportunity to study at a college rather than a large university was too good to pass up on for me at least. I gained admission from other LACs but with less aid and to be honest, I don't think an education elsewhere would be worth 120k+ more than what Oberlin has to offer. Other full-pay LACs have similar liberal reputations like Vassar and Middlebury and Wesleyan and I don't see people always complaining about them, especially when they have no connection to the school. My good friend goes to Haverford and his parents are pissed about the strike situation last fall, which didn't seem to gain as much national coverage. [/quote]

PP, thanks for taking the time to post. Good luck with your studies![/quote]
