We've been loving learning, music, science, art, research, cooperation, bikes, social justice, people, thinking, creativity, and the world since 1833. Oberlin is a place of intense energy and creativity, built on a foundation of academic, artistic, and musical excellence. With a top-ranking liberal arts college, a world-class conservatory, and a first-rate art museum all on a single campus, it is the ideal laboratory in which to study and design the world you want.
