While every freshman visits Cleveland as part of the Connect Cleveland program, it’s my observation that many students forget that this is always an available resource.

Ask me to write a paper, and I can have it done by the end of the day, but give me a problem set or a coding lab, and I’m immediately flustered. Predicting this issue, I’ve found that Oberlin provides a really great support system for taking hard classes out of students' comfort zones.

An ideal day in my life spent completely outside.

When I came to Oberlin, industrial-scale baking was not exactly on my bucket list.

Opportunities to pet some fur and hang out with animals to stay fulfilled and keep up with work.

All I need to do for a hug from my friends is go up a flight of stairs.

This year, I used Winter Term to travel and broaden my perspective as we navigate the rapidly changing American political climate, while preparing myself for next semester’s politics materials.

Here are some fun things we’ve done on my and others' birthdays to make the day special!

Whether for exercise, social, or mental health reasons, there’s always a way to stay active!

Warm weather can always be detected by Obies spreading throughout the fields and quads of campus, soaking in the sunshine.

Oberlin has instituted a mandatory program of consent workshops to ensure students stay informed, respectful, and self-aware.

Course balance and room to grow have been the most rewarding aspect of my curriculum.

Navigating the network between NYC and Oberlin.

Prior to move-in day, I know I would have felt so much relief had another picky vegetarian Obie shared their eating routines.

The MVP program invites multi-cultural students of different backgrounds--low-income, first-generation, and students of color--to fully immerse themselves in the Oberlin lifestyle.
