More Reasons to Apply to Oberlin!

January 12, 2017

Now with Regular Decision deadline looming closer (in case you need a friendly reminder: Jan 15!), I thought I would share some photos I took earlier of my favorite spots on campus!

Exterior of a Victorian Romanesque and Queen Anne style building with a dome — Peters Hall taken during the spring right outside of Mudd Library. Absolutely gorgeous!

A short tree with bright green buds — I came across this tree while I walked past the side of the Hall Auditorium building.

Interior of a modern lab with many photographs — Oberlin's Photo Lab inside the Art Building!

I took ARTS 045: Introduction to Digital Photography with Professor Pipo Nguyen-Duy this past fall semester. 10/10 would recommend, it taught me so much about things that I thought I already knew so well! And the best thing is, you don't have to have prior knowledge of photography to take this course (though it does help a little)!

Large outdoor sculpture of a 3-way electrical plug — The Oldenburg 3-Way Plug outside of the Art Building!

Relief sculptures on a wall by an old clock and a chandelier — Inside Peters Hall!

Looking down a corridor between many bookshelves — Mudd Library!

Looking out a window at Brutalist-style concrete walls and rectangular windows — Mudd Library architecture!
