<p>It’s especially funny to see that accusation coming from Plainsman who frequently ■■■■■■ the Washington & Lee thread where he is indeed
</p>
<p>He does this without any provocation – just crashes or creates threads with baseless insults under the false pretense of being interested in the school. And now he has the nerve to suggest that’s what you’re doing? Wow, that’s rich Plainsman, very classy of you. I guess it does take one to know one, right? </p>
<p>Lite, my suggestion is that if you saw Oberlin firsthand and really liked what you saw there, then don’t let the liberal stereotypes put you off. You sound like you know yourself very well. I would also guess you know what you like and the kind of environment you want to live in over the next 4 years. You have to remember that while there might be some prevailing beliefs on campus, you will still find people there of various stripes and other persuasions; just a more obvious minority of them perhaps. </p>
<p>I also agree with macmill. Not everyone has the fortitude to withstand holding or presenting viewpoints counter to the majority, but if you do, and you also enjoy it, your time at Oberlin might be a lot of fun. Not to mention the fact that you might offer some perspectives to bring about lively discussion which is what college is about. Going where everyone thinks the same as you – there’s no challenge in that. Unfortunately, unlike you, there are lots of parents and students selecting schools these days with the hope of avoiding that scenario. They think “fit” means going to a place where most people think the same as them. How boring…</p>
