"But I'm worried that going somewhere too quirky will make me want to be more normal, and vice versa."

oh my, I know just what you are talking about! I can't stand to see everyone jumping on the normal/mainstream bandwagon, but I can't stand to see everyone jumping on the quirky bandwagon either.
I'm probably going to go to Oberlin, so this should be interesting. Imagine me defending mainstream-ness. It's a strange idea, but it may happen.


BTW--do these parties of which we are speaking ever/often involve any live music? it is oberlin after all, so I'm hoping...

Plenty of live music. PLENTY.

Every party I've ever gone to at Oberlin has involved live bands, or kickin good dj-ing.

This is the Standard Saturday Night conversation:
Obie 1: What're you doing tonight?
Obie 2: Dude, party on West Lorain. The Pianos and the Sauce are playing. You wanna come?
1: Sweet! I heard about the Diplomat CD release party on Elm. I'm going after Julie's recital.
etc...

Parties = bands. Bands = parties.

ooh yay!!! I was only slightly concerned because I looked at the scos website and there was only like one live show listed.

to be honest, one of my current main goals in life is to see more live music.

oberlin isn't perfect, but at least I've got the music aspect covered.
