I wonder about the person who said Oberlin wasn’t safe, I suspect they either are confusing it with something else or has the perception somehow that everything in the US is this wild west where you aren’t safe:). In other words, whatever Oberlin is musically (and from my view, it is a pretty standard conservatory, can’t talk about composition but in classical music it is pretty typical of a school in the top tiers). As far as the degree goes, you could get a BA in composition at a college music department and get another bachelor’s in something else (double major) or get a BM in composition and a bachelor’s in something else, the double major may be easier than the double degree, given the requirements of BM programs.
