Where is Oberlin?
The town of Oberlin is located in the state of Ohio, 35 miles southwest of Cleveland, a major metropolitan area. Cleveland features a world-class orchestra and art museum, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, and three professional sports teams among many other attractions. A 25-minute drive from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, Oberlin College attracts many of its students from the cities of America’s east and west coasts. Nearly 350 international students from 50 different countries currently study at Oberlin. As a result, Oberlin offers a sophisticated and cosmopolitan community-a genuine microcosm of the United States itself-in a safe and secure setting. In many ways, this creates an ideal environment for learning.
