30 years ago in the old days, Oberlin was ranked in the top 10 LACs by USN&WR, alongside schools like Williams, Amherst and Pomona.

Today, it’s ranked 33, the lowest for Oberlin ever. Most worrying is that Oberlin cannot attract full pay families. Anyone not on financial aid receives “merit” aid. That’s probably the best indicator that those old days aren’t coming back.
