<p>She sounds like the perfect Obie! Oberlin is noted for their English and science departments. Socially, there are groups for most kids at Oberlin. There are specifically social groups that would rather do things like bowl or go to movies than to party. Oberlin, as with every college, has its parties, but it is not a big party school. The students have told me that there is always so much going on at the campus, that they almost never leave. Whereas, the Boston schools I visited with my K did not have that much activity on their campuses and thus, the students seemed to often go into Boston to find action/entertainment.</p>
