Oberlin or Colorado College

I’ll tell you one truth - there’s no “perfect” college. I went through 4 different colleges and unis., from one of the smallest liberal arts colleges in the country (1/6th the size of Oberlin) to one of the largest public unis in the country (the size of UCLA.) As in life, there are always trade-offs. Every college has its share of shortcomings.

You can’t go wrong with CC or Oberlin. (Also, FYI, most student activities at Oberlin are campus-centered - you don’t need to leave the campus. You don’t have to travel to Cleveland to see Cleveland Orchestra, for example. Cleveland Orchestra comes to Oberlin every year to perform. I have a feeling this might be true with CC as well, but I am unfamiliar with CC. Check to see if Colorado is a residential college. Most of the UC colleges are commuter campuses where most students go home for the weekend.)
