Basic midwestern small town. Not much there other than the above-mentioned small shops and an IGA supermarket. [View Full Report]

Flat, snowy, city students would get homesick fast. [View Full Report]

A little town sort of integrated into the campus instead of the other way around. [View Full Report]

A surprisingly diverse small town. If you've never lived in one, I'd imagine you would enjoy it. [View Full Report]

Start at the center of campus, walk 5 minutes and you're downtown, walk 15 minutes and you're out of town... [View Full Report]

A sleepy little town with a very active college at its center. Expect the standard town/gown friction with some notable areas of cooperation. [View Full Report]

Tiny town (though twice the size of Williamstown) with attractive buildings but only one cinema and a couple of funky craft stores; short on clothing/shoe stores and could use a good espresso place. [View Full Report]

The town is cute, but small. And it's true that Oberlin is surrounded by corn fields. [View Full Report]
