<p>I don’t think there’s any reason to assume Oberlin is stronger in the sciences than in other divisions–it’s strong across the board, fully the equal academically of Bowdoin and Wesleyan. (JHU is of course a university, so comparison to any LAC is difficult.)</p>
<p>For a variety of posts describing the music culture of Oberlin–probably the most musical campus in the country–see [Oberlin</a> Blogs | Music, Theater, & The Arts](<a href=“http://blogs.oberlin.edu/community/music_theater_arts/index.shtml]Oberlin”>http://blogs.oberlin.edu/community/music_theater_arts/index.shtml) . There’s one post specifically about music opportunities for non-Conservatory students.</p>
