Hi! I got accepted to Oberlin, but i’m still wavering if i should actually go or not. Does anyone know how strong the sciences department is there? Especially areas like biology and neuroscience. I also want to get an idea of what oberlin is known for , for graduate school, and its reputation in the professional world.

second of all, what is the surrounding area and students like? I’m from a west coast city, so i’m worried i’ll end up in a small town, homogeneous, conservative area where i won’t get any experience.

any input welcomed! thanks
