Oberlin, not a city but a small town, is unique in its identity as a thriving liberal arts college community. The town's charm lies in its centre, Oberlin College, a renowned institution that attracts students and visitors alike. With over one-third of the town’s population connected to the college community, Oberlin is more than just a town; it's a community.
The individual's decision to move to Oberlin was influenced by their parents' teachings.

The college offers a diverse curriculum with more than 60 majors, minors, and concentrations, across arts and sciences, in addition to a world-class Conservatory of Music.
The individual values education, as taught by their parents, and believes that Oberlin's liberal arts education is an excellent way to start post-secondary education.

They immediately felt at home in this small town, surrounded by Ohio natives and people from various countries and regions. The presence of Tappan Square, a National Historic Landmark and active public park at the heart of the campus, contributes to Oberlin’s appeal as a lively, walkable, and community-oriented place.
Attractions such as the Common Ground Canopy Tours add outdoor adventure options that enhance the town's appeal, making Oberlin more than just a college town. It's a place where learning, community, and adventure intertwine, creating a unique and vibrant atmosphere that the individual is proud to be a part of.
