I took my daughter to a summer program at Oberlin. The campus is attractive with a good number of trees-- it’s surprising how many campuses lack trees and shade. The campus and town seem VERY bike accessible so you may want to have one to get around. The dorms seemed average (we have visited MANY colleges across the country) so I wouldn’t worry about that. The town itself did seem quite small and smaller than I thought, but there were still many places that seemed like good restaurants and cafes. Regarding Cleveland, though I don’t know much about it, we spent a couple of days there and there are lots of good restaurants and there is good shopping so… If that speaks to you, you are in good shape. (and there are several professional sports teams as already mentioned). It did not, however, seem that students would frequently go into Cleveland from Oberlin.
