<p>While I think what the posters say here is correct about there being all types at Oberlin, I also think Oberlin has a deserved reputation for being somewhat more agressively non-conformist than Grinnell-they take a positive pride in that ‘differentness.’ If you have the opportunity, you should check out Grinnell and then go with your gut. </p>
<p>Really, you can’t go wrong here. Oberlin was S’s second choice (after Grinnell). There were several reasons but one was that he felt just a bit less ‘at home.’</p>
