Visit Activities:


Information Session: Yes - Very informative. After the official presentation, 3 students came in to answer questions. Great candid answers and obvious enthusiasm for the school.

Campus Tour: Yes - One of the best we've been on. Tour guide was well informed and very articulate, without sounding rehearsed. (And she had that walking backwards thing mastered!)

Campus Visit Notes for Oberlin College


Visit Description:

We wandered into the student union looking for the Hillel bulletin board, just to see what was going on. The Hillel director overheard us asking for directions, invited us into her office and chatted with us for quite a while. Made a great impression on D!
