<p>There seems to be more Californians at Oberlin than Ohioans. But maybe that new scholarship (I think it is new) that gives full tuition scholarships to top graduates of Oberlin High School will increase the number of Ohioans. </p>
<p>There is a Hawaiian in my daughter’s class. Talk about culture shock.</p>
<p>If the OP is considering LACs to the east of Ohio, especially Maine and Vermont, don’t forget it will be even colder and snowier at those schools. Colder still at Carleton and Macalester in Minnesota. I think Oberlin, Ohio is balmy compared to those places.</p>
