To our prospective students and families:

We understand how important the college search is to you. We love introducing Oberlin to future Obies and for many families that means visiting our campus. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 and the emphasis on the safety of our community, we have suspended all admission-related campus visits and admitted student events until May 1. This includes daily campus tours, information sessions, and any event for admitted students.

While we are prevented from inviting you to campus, we hope that you will engage with us through a variety of other options. We are pleased to offer:

Information Sessions

We can’t wait to share with you how Oberlin offers an exceptional academic experience in the ideal college setting. While the campus is closed, you can watch a prerecorded session or register for a live online session.
