Evan Hamilton ’26

Hello there! I came to Oberlin from a suburb of beautiful Portland, Oregon. I found a second home in Oberlin during my first year, and am continuing to enjoy my experience in my second year. I intend to double major in creative writing and biology, with a minor in Spanish (you may find me eating at El Rincón Latino, the Spanish Lunch Corner, in Stevenson Dining Hall!).

Outside of academics, I sing with the Oberlin College Choir and serve as a Resident Assistant, a Peer Advising Leader, and a campus tour guide. I'm currently working on my first novel and so far have written around 100,000 words. I’m the co-designer of the role-playing game Alterra: Age of Exploration, and enjoy playing tabletop and Nintendo games in my spare time.

My room is a single on the second floor of Burton dorm and you'll otherwise most often find me studying in the Science Commons or Science Library. Feel free to say hi if you see me around campus, as I'd love to talk and answer questions about Oberlin.
