Oberlin College, Liberal arts college in Oberlin, United States.
Description
Oberlin College is a liberal arts institution in a small town in northern Ohio offering more than 40 academic programs. The campus spreads across two areas connected by Tappan Square, an open lawn with trees and pathways at the center of the grounds.
History
The institution was founded in 1833 and became the first higher education facility in the United States to regularly admit Black students and women. This early decision shaped its reputation as a place for social reform throughout the 19th century.
Culture
The conservatory trains musicians and organizes regular concerts that visitors can attend throughout the academic year. Students and residents often gather on Tappan Square, a central green space that connects both campus sections and serves as an informal meeting point.
Practical
Visitors can walk around the campus grounds and view different buildings and outdoor areas, with most publicly accessible sections clearly marked. Libraries and some performance halls are open to guests during operating hours when private events are not taking place.
