Visit Campus
Admitted students and their families are invited to come to campus during All Roads Lead to Oberlin.
All Roads Preview Days
March 31 | April 3, 7, 10, 14, 21
We encourage you to get to know us better during one of these six dates, which will feature opportunities to attend classes; take campus tours; learn about campus resources; interact with faculty, staff, and students; and meet fellow members of the Class of 2027! Come and experience the distinct feel of the Oberlin community.
You are also welcome to visit campus outside of these preview days. We will be offering tours and information sessions for admitted students on other weekdays and Saturdays in late March and throughout April. Class visits, campus dining options, and other activities and events will also be available for admitted students on most of these days.

Faculty Lecture Series: The Body Politic
The Body Politic is a six-week multidisciplinary lecture and discussion series specially designed to introduce admitted students to the power and breadth of liberal arts learning at Oberlin. In weekly lectures and discussions, faculty members from across Oberlin will explore the social and political structures that we shape and are shaped by; discuss how race, gender, sexuality, and our other identities become sites of political contestation; and imagine new paradigms for social solidarity and reaching across difference to build mutual understanding and respect.
A lecture and subsequent discussion will take place every Tuesday from 7:00-8:45 PM EDT, beginning on March 28 and running through May 2. Students can register for as many sessions as they like; it is not required to attend every week.
