Although Oberlin is a small liberal arts school and is located in rural Ohio, there are always events going on, which keeps you busy every day. 500+ concerts are held every year by students and faculty, and so college students can enjoy concerts in the conservatory as well. The people here are passionate and ambitious about their projects and it is a great place to be motivated and inspired by your fellow students.

I love the small town it's in. Everyone there is very nice and helpful. A very interesting place.

From what I could see in a single visit, the town of Oberlin is a beautiful progressive community with a lot of interest in the arts. Oberlin has been a repeated name since the beginning of my college search, and I know the conservatory has a strong, positive reputation. While I don't know a lot about the quality of the music programs or what the faculty are like, the vibe I got from my tour of the schools was one of acceptance and family--I have no doubt that anyone could feel at home here!

Oberlin is a place filled with open minded folks, activists, free spirits, athletes, artists, environmentalists, poets, and so on. You are pretty much guaranteed to find at least one other person, if not more, who share your passions and frustrations. It's one big supportive community that you won't be able to find anywhere else.

Small, liberal arts college at the center of a small town. Very expensive but not really worth the cost. Very strong conservatory.

Oberlin is a very musical and artistic campus -- there is always something to go to or do on the weekends and even weekdays. There is a lot of work and studying is very important to the students, but like any college campus the students make time for fun. Difficult to get off campus but the downtown is very nice.
