The comment about Villanova and Hamilton and recognition is so true. My older son was down to Oberlin and Boston College a few years ago. He decided he wanted play basketball and that wasn’t going to happen at Boston College so he chose Oberlin. Everybody knows Boston College. With Oberlin 75% of people in our area, which is less than 3.5 hours from have never heard of Oberlin. For those who know of Oberlin they will usually say “Oh that’s a good school”. I read somewhere regarding schools like Oberlin that much of the general public doesn’t know of them but every graduate admissions officer is well aware of those schools.
