How so? While there’s some variability in dorms, most of the dorms at Oberlin in the mid-late '90s when I attended were fine.
Certainly better appointed in terms of furniture/furnishings than many other colleges I’ve visited/toured in the same period.
Granted, I was coming at this as a near-full FA/scholarship student who found the dorms to be better than the apartments I grew up in in NYC or my first two post-college apartments.
