Echoing what @SJTH and @dave72 have said, my D is a rising second-year student at Oberlin who has been unaffected by the various issues that have been reported in the media. She hasn’t become involved in campus politics – so far her interests mainly lie elsewhere – but is glad that there is political activism at Oberlin. She tells us that the protests and controversies are a much, much, much smaller part of campus life than it would appear from what we read online. No negative encounters with activists inside or outside of class, and she has been very comfortable there as a Jewish student. Really she has been extremely happy at Oberlin – her classes have been interesting and challenging, and she has made good friends, explored her interests, and had a lot of fun in the process. I can’t believe how much she has grown in the past year.
