<p>I wouldn’t exclude Oberlin a priori on the basis of price. They offer good financial aid that is skewed more toward grants than loans. Some stats may be found at [Oberlin</a> College | Office of Financial Aid | Can I Afford Oberlin?](<a href=“http://new.oberlin.edu/office/financial-aid/overview/]Oberlin”>http://new.oberlin.edu/office/financial-aid/overview/)</p>
<p>Their marching band may not be quite what you expect, however. See <a href=“http://www.oberlin.edu/stuorg/OCMB/[/url]”>http://www.oberlin.edu/stuorg/OCMB/</a> (and yes that is pretty much the whole thing in the pictures, if it is still active at all).</p>
