Adults Return to Oberlin College in Growing Numbers
Oberlin College sees rising adult enrollment in the spring term as nontraditional students join the 18 to 22 age group. Dean Larry Buel notes the shift mirrors a national trend with adults seeking education for pragmatic reasons. Older students face adjustment challenges but value clear goals and career clarity, as exemplified by Mary Jo Cook who plans to study law.

Ex president Robert Fuller, interviewed by the Review, said the presidency at Oberlin is not a fit for now. He suggested deferring to ex-president Robert Carr due to seniority and noted his visit to Oberlin was kept secret among some students.
