I've heard doing away with need-blind aid & admission really changed Oberlin

According to my good friend, who was enrolled in Oberlin for a year before giving up, the quirky political and diverse socioeconomic nature of the college has completely changed for the worse in a matter of few years due to fewer and fewer of the students coming from working-class background. One of the main reasons I applied was exactly this reputation of it being a socially conscious school, or however one might call it - is this true? Any current enrollees have any input? Thanks.
