<p>Oberlin also has a remarkably (i.e., very) high rate of graduate school matriculation – they are both outstanding in that regard and you wouldn’t choose one over the other on that basis alone. Stress as an undergraduate is not a measure of whether you will get into, should get into, or will want to go to graduate school, which has its own ups and downs.<br>
There is no doubt that the two schools have different cultures and feels. For someone interested in music performance, it is a no-brainer that Oberlin is the better experience. In other respects it is more individual – visits would seem in order to check out the feel of each campus.</p>
