I bet people who get offended over something like this will be be joys to work around once/if they get into the work world.

50K in tuition for a YEAR! Do these people ever get tired of sniffing their own money farts?
IF Oberlin is still setting the same standards as back in my day, you need all of the above, AND virutally a straight A average, AND involvement in extra-curricular activities to be even considered. This is beyond money farting; it's academic earth mother tree farting.

Kinda like my father-in-law in China: When Mao threw all the academics in prison he put them ALL TOGETHER. all that meant was that when they got out they all knew each other, like gang bangers in Texas. Ohio will never be the same!!

Oberlin has graduated some pretty accomplished (vegan) journalists but my suspicion is there's a creamy government job awaitin them somewhere. These types usually avoid the private sector like the plague, unlelss it's some .com startup.

At my alma in 1970 we called the cafeteria "the doghouse". the only alternative was McDonald's, which is still there. In 1970 decades before the movie "Supersize Me" I tried eating at McD. every day. On the third day walking toward the corner I threw up.

Yeah that isnt generational at all, just a typical elitist attitude.

Hasn't it been like that since young people complained about going to war in the Far East in the 1960's?

Oberlin is Berkeley East. Anyone getting outraged by articles like this is just feeding the trolls exactly what they want.
