<p>I've seen that Reed in Oregon offers no-drugs dorms; does Oberlin have anything similar? How about dorms with quieter hours?</p>
<p>Yup, Oberlin has a substance-free dorm, [Barnard[/url</a>]. It houses about 40 students, all of whom have committed not to use drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. The building is pretty nice and generally has a good community; I’ve heard this year’s RA is awesome. One of the student bloggers, Tess, lives there and has [url=<a href=“http://blogs.oberlin.edu/community/life_culture/we_are_gryffind.shtml]written”>http://blogs.oberlin.edu/community/life_culture/we_are_gryffind.shtml]written</a> about it](<a href=“http://new.oberlin.edu/student-life/housing/housing-options/detail.dot?id=184228&buildingId=175053]Barnard[/url”>http://new.oberlin.edu/student-life/housing/housing-options/detail.dot?id=184228&buildingId=175053).</p>
<p>As for quiet hours, every hall votes on their own quiet hours (usually starting around 11 PM - 12 AM on weeknights and ending around 7 - 8 AM, shifted later on weekends). For people who want 24/7 quiet, there’s an official Quiet Hall in [url=<a href=“http://new.oberlin.edu/student-life/housing/housing-options/detail.dot?id=184442&buildingId=175062]East[/url”>http://new.oberlin.edu/student-life/housing/housing-options/detail.dot?id=184442&buildingId=175062]East[/url</a>].</p>
