<p>Don’t believe everything you read/hear. Oberlin is not “extremely ‘out there.’” Nor is it in the middle of nowhere: [Oberlin</a> Blogs | Blog Entry: ““The middle of nowhere””](<a href=“http://blogs.oberlin.edu/living/town/the_middle_of_n.shtml]Oberlin”>http://blogs.oberlin.edu/living/town/the_middle_of_n.shtml) . And the notion that an Oberlin degree is a poor investment is simply ridiculous. Oberlin is one of the most prestigious, highest-quality colleges in the country, and most students end up loving it, even those who may come from very different environments.</p>
<p>The best way to reassure yourself is to read the [Oberlin</a> Blogs](<a href=“http://blogs.oberlin.edu/index.shtml]Oberlin”>http://blogs.oberlin.edu/index.shtml) . See for example [Oberlin</a> Blogs | Blog Entry: “100 Awesome Amazing Fantabulous Things”](<a href=“http://blogs.oberlin.edu/about/ethos/100_things_oberlin.shtml]Oberlin”>http://blogs.oberlin.edu/about/ethos/100_things_oberlin.shtml) .</p>
