Room 124

Oberlin, OH 44074
Oberlin schedules a winter term of four weeks in January to encourage and enable students to discover the value of self-education. During winter term, students may choose to pursue projects that are directly linked to their field of study or explore opportunities unrelated to their major.
Students might participate in on- or off-campus organized, intensive projects offered by faculty and staff. Students might also develop projects of independent study or research, complete internships, and undertake other projects of educational value that the structured curriculum during the academic year cannot accommodate easily.
