A month at Oberlin: How one student found quirky magic in campus life
Oberlin College student Thorin has shared his enthusiasm for life on campus after arriving just a month ago. His early impressions highlight the quirky charm of the college, from student-led projects to local food favourites.
Though little is publicly known about recent standout initiatives at Oberlin, Thorin's personal experiences paint a lively picture of student life there.
Within weeks of moving in, Thorin discovered a thriving D&D group and a self-produced musical. He also connected with professors who inspired him. These quick connections left him pleasantly surprised by what he calls the college's 'subtle, eccentric wonder'.
His days are now packed with writing, drawing, studying, and running D&D sessions. When not in rehearsals or composing, he can often be spotted in Tappan Hall, coat on, humming to himself. A regular treat comes from Slow Train, where the scones have become one of his go-to snacks. Thorin jokes that his positive start at Oberlin might be down to luck—or *'witchcraft, or whatever they put in the pierogies at Stevenson'*—but he's eager to share his experiences with prospective students.
While Oberlin hasn't made headlines for recent student projects, Thorin's first month suggests a vibrant, creative environment. His involvement in music, gaming, and academics reflects the varied opportunities available.
For now, his story offers a snapshot of daily life at the college, from quirky traditions to hidden culinary gems.
