Campus Life

Pumpkin pie ice cream and soy nuggets are really good.

Oberlin's general views on sustainability and healthy living is clearly reflected in the food and dining. The dining services at Oberlin have a wide variety of mostly locally and organically grown foods. There are also generous options for vegetarians and vegans. There is always fresh fruit and a very complete salad bar at every meal. Different dining halls offer different unique choices, including a global expedition, and the ring of fire both of which offer a build-your-own special entree each day. In addition, there is always access to pizza, a sandwich bar, and a grill which includes burgers, chicken, hot dogs, fries, etc. In addition, there is a lovely dining hall specifically offering comfort food which always provides a huge and dangerously delicious dessert assortment. Aside from the campus dining service, anybody may apply to be in a food cooperative, which in much less expensive and operates upon the collaborative help of all the members. This community food and cooking experience not only provides a great experience, it also serves as a great option for people with dietary restrictions or specific preferences.

The food is not the best at Oberlin, but you can usually find something to eat at major dining halls like Stevie, which is buffet style. A-House, or African House, which is the most delicious food, in most people's opinions.

The food is very good, and although it sometimes gets repetitive, they do a nice job at changing it up every now and then. And the school has a large population of vegans/vegetarians here. The school does really well at accommodating all of the students choices and desires here. The staff is actually great too, with many being students, the crew is very friendly and productive.

Food is excellent compared to other colleges. Only problem is that it becomes quite repetitive.

It's absurdly expensive, but the co-ops provide a good alternative to traditional dorms. Many upper-classmen also live in village housing, which is an independent apartment or house.

Fairly nice area around to eat stuff.

very good vegetarian options for people like me.

I don't think there is any Greek Life at Oberlin.

Non-existent

Greek life is nonexistent in its traditional sense at Oberlin. However, the equivalent is found through Program Housing. These houses include Asia House, African Heritage House, Spanish House, French House, and other houses unique to a specific belief or culture. This community experience binds residents together through a similar background or conviction, and also serves as a great educational tool.

There is no greek system.

None, and for the better

Oberlin doesn't have Greek Life, which is generally considered a positive thing among students.

Doesn't exist.. which is a major turn off for me from this school .
