Oberlin Blogs

Meredith Warden ’23

Hello there! My name is Meredith and I'm a senior at Oberlin. I'm from Pittsburgh, PA, home to Heinz ketchup and yellow bridges.

I'm a History major and a CAST minor. I love digging into the nuances, complexities, and contradictions in topics, and I am one of those people who actually like writing academic papers!

Outside of class, you can find me studying in Mudd (third floor = best floor) or the Science Library, visiting the adorable kittens at Ginko Gallery, or sitting on one of the swing chairs in Tappan. Here at Oberlin, I'm on the editorial board for the Two Groves Review, a member of the field hockey team, a lead editor at the History Design Lab. I am also a Writing Associate Fellow at Oberlin's Writing Center (if you can't tell yet, I really love reading and writing). I hope you enjoy my blogs!

On Atmosphere

The atmosphere of a school is more than just academics—it is made up of those tiny, everyday interactions and observations that define one’s relation to a place.
