Favorite Place
The Apollo Theatre. Watching Marvel movies the first night they came out with my friends and the Marvel fans at Oberlin has always been a wonderful experience.
Favorite Class

Memorable Oberlin Moment
The night before fall break in my sophomore year, I sat with my friend by the Memorial Arch on Tappan. We talked and stargazed until 5am in the morning. The sky was clear, and there were so many shooting stars. I rested my head on her shoulder, and she leaned against me.
