Oberlin Blogs

Why living in the 'worst' First-Year dorm isn't as bad as you'd think...

A semester abroad is not a semester away from life--and that's okay.

As Oberlin prides itself on its activist history, today we used our agency as activists on this campus.

Weekends are just as busy as the weeks. Maybe more so... The following is an analysis of Halloween and Parents Weekend.

Travel stories from Oberlin and Kunming.

Sometimes college is hard. Sometimes you don't want to wake up at nine or go to the gym after class or drag yourself to Stevie/the co-op for a meal. Sometimes being a student is too much. Sometimes Oberlin is too much. This is a blog post for when you're there.

Every time I encounter a prospective student visiting campus I am asked the inevitable question, "What is your least favorite thing about Oberlin?" Here's a post about how I think through that question.

It's normal to be anxious about leaving home for college. It's also normal to be excited. I see leaving home as an opportunity.

This is not so much a reminder to be good to yourself as it is a call to action: go read Fangirl! (With a side of pie.)

These past two months have really flown by--I think it's appropriate to offer a bit of reflection.

Someone told me once that it takes at least a semester to figure out how you fit in at college. Finding home here is an ongoing process.

I pretend that being one year older means I know what I'm doing, answer questions Ma'ayan asked in a blog post, and repeatedly talk about how excited I am to be back at Oberlin. This is the blog post I will send to my mom to catch her up on my life when I forget to call her this weekend.
