A couple of minor corrections to what mamenyu said about Oberlin:

1) Double degree students can major in any College subject except Music.

2) While most double degree students apply separately to the College and Conservatory, it is easy to transfer into that program from the Conservatory side. Happens all the time. Getting into the Con from the College side requires the applicant to go through the full audition process and happens very infrequently.

Oberlin is definitely a great option, but it is an extremely hard admit on the Conservatory side for both singers and flutists. Those two departments are probably the most selective in the entire Conservatory. There are lots of musical opportunities for non-Conservatory students, however.
