[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is odd that Oberlin is discussed much more than the other schools mentioned. There was, however, a lengthy thread about Haverford. [/quote]

The title of the thread is "Oberlin" and the original post asks about a school called Oberlin.[/quote]

I was responding to the student’s post asking why Oberlin gets singled out for being liberal leaning. [/quote]

Obie here. Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I did read the longer thread that you mentioned about Haverford and Bryn Mawr since I have friends at both and have heard that many parents are not happy with the way the school administration handled the situation. I was surprised that larger national publications and new sources did not pick up on the story - I believe that in addition to regional conservative websites, the NY Times and the Atlantic picked up on "cultural appropriation" in Oberlin's cafeteria. At the same time, Smith momentarily became the center of attention of the incident of a black student eating in the off-limits section of the cafeteria and campus police getting called and a bunch of working class campus employees being called out on social media and threatened.

But it's good to bring up that the original post asks for specifics about student life and culture at Oberlin, so let's try to stick to that instead of going on tangents about diversity of opinion that could be attributed to many other universities. 😊 Happy to answer other questions pertaining to student life and academics, although I admittedly have limited experience due to the pandemic.[/quote]
