My niece went to Oberlin on a swimming scholarship. She loved the school, athletics and unfortunately the ultra liberal political scene. Not sure she has had a paying job since she graduated 2 years ago. She can grow some bad a$$ organic veggies though! Haha.
Former teammate of my son is a current baseball player at Oberlin. While liberal before, he is now an activist for anything anti corporate, fossil fuel & pro ocupy anything. I'm cool with that if the university allows for all sides, but don't think that's the case here. He loves the baseball and probably would not had the opportunity to play had he not chosen a high academic DIII across the country.
None the less, love them both and eventually things work out long term. I'm sure that both are feelin the Bern! Haha!
