Who doesn fit at Oberlin?
You’re right–Oberlin isn’t for everyone. We don’t have frats or sororities. Sports games are on the same playing field as violin recitals and dance shows. If you live in a first-year dorm, a program house, or a co-op, you will know everyone in the house by the year’s end. You will feel guilty if you don’t do your homework; people in your seminar know if you don’t read for class. We aren’t a party school, but we aren’t a bookworm school–people don’t spend all of their waking hours in the library.
