<p>I’m a parent, but when I attended an information session for study abroad at Oberlin (which was jam packed with parents) I found the presenters anything but useless or unhelpful. On the contrary: they have a very active office and a significant number of students participate. And the people who run the program are friendly and helpful. They will also provide assistance with special issues, like access to music lessons abroad for double degree students. Oberlin encourages study abroad and facilitates it: Oberlin students with scholarships, including merit scholarships, may apply that funding to the Oberlin affiliated programs, which include top programs around the world. Students majoring in East Asian studies, Classics, and languages are especially encouraged to study abroad. Oberlin also has its own programs, featuring Oberlin in London. <a href=“http://www.oberlin.edu/london/[/url]”>http://www.oberlin.edu/london/</a> and see also: <a href=“http://www.oberlin.edu/oeurope/[/url]”>http://www.oberlin.edu/oeurope/</a>
Allen Art Museum is one the the top college museums (the Smith museum is also excellent, but in a less charming space); there’s also a Frank Lloyd Wright usonian house. <a href=“Allen Memorial Art Museum”>Allen Memorial Art Museum; Students can act as docents at both. Try finding out about intern opportunities by contacting admissions or the art museum directly.</p>
