Oberlin College

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.

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.

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.

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.

The institution maintains the TIMARA program, which combines music technology with electronic composition and multimedia art. Specialized studios allow students to explore experimental sound techniques and develop digital instruments.
