Hey people. I could use some help here… I had an interview at Oberlin today and it got me more confused than I was before coming. I am mostly looking for academic rigour/quality and a student body seriously committed to their schoolwork. I don’t really care about the social scene, city surroundings or weather if those 2 requirements are met.
So far, I am under the impression that the students at Reed are more legitimate than those at Oberlin, who seem to be somewhat more hipster-ish. I don’t want to judge yet though, since my experience here has not been long enough to do so accurately. I talked to a teacher here today and he said Kenyon is more conservative than Oberlin, and that the academics are easier.
I also applied to Grinnell, Sarah Lawrence and Amherst but haven’t visited any of them. Any input? Differences, things I should take into account?
