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

According to Oberlin’s viewbook, it gives 39 million dollars in aid. According to Vassar’s viewbook, Vassar gives 23-24 million dollars in aid :). They’re both considered kinda quirky (I think, I’m an international student, don’t kill me if I’m wrong) and Vassar has the whole Seven Sister prestige thing.

Based on the numbers, I don’t think Oberlin’s stopped giving aid. Besides, they’re the only college apart from HYP and such that say they won’t differentiate between American and international students for finaid.
