My son graduated from Oberlin last spring. I can’t comment on accepted students day as my husband took him, not me. But after his visit, he was convinced he would rather go to Oberlin than Rochester, his other top choice. He had spent 2 weekends at UR but felt that Oberlin was a better fit. As a parent, freshman move in went fine. No problems. Nor did we have any other problems with move in other years. I always felt like I had whatever info I needed. On the other hand, my need for info was not intense. This was my third one to attend college and I figured out pretty quickly that the kids need to manage college, not me. By the way, my oldest attended Eastman, and had a great experience there as well.
