<p>I’m going to hop in with a few [Oberlin</a> blog](<a href=“http://blogs.oberlin.edu/]Oberlin”>http://blogs.oberlin.edu/) posts for you to read </p>
<p>About music on campus:</p>

<p>And there is so so so much more. I’ve answered this question a lot recently during All Roads visit days, but in thinking about Oberlin versus a large city like NYC in terms of what’s here, some things to consider:</p>
<ol>
<li>Distance. If I decide at 7:50pm that I want to go to an 8pm concert, I can do that. I can hop on a bike, be there one minute before it starts (and perhaps nab a giant chocolate chip cookie if the show is at the Cat in the Cream), and everything is golden.</li>
<li>Concentration. There are so many things happening here at any given time in a smaller square-area than in a larger city. You’re going to have a hard time deciding what to go to here.</li>
<li>Money. Most everything on campus is free or heavily discounted. And that is awesome.</li>
</ol>
<p>Unlike a number of other liberal arts colleges, Oberlin also is situated in a town, which is a happening place even when the college isn’t in session. It’s a good place to be.</p>
