<p>My son is a music major as Wesleyan and was strongly considering Oberlin (we visited twice). </p>
<p>One of the big problems with Oberlin is that being a non-conservatory music major is really very much an outside-looking-in siuation. For example, non-conservatory music students are taught by conservatory students, not by faculty. </p>
<p>After visiting both, they did seem quite similar, but pretty much everything at Wes seems a notch above.</p>
