<p>Any thoughts? I'm not too jazzed about either Ohio or Oregon, but those are my top two choices right now..barring a Williams or Princeton miracle.</p>
<p>Go visit each school and you will easily know which one is for you. They are both wonderful schools. Reed is much closer to you and has a similar climate (with more rain). Oberlin is much colder in the winter with snow. You really need to visit them in person if you haven't already.</p>
<p>Reed is in Portland, which is an awesome city (with lots of local coffeeshops, indie bands, public transportation, artists, etc) and Oberlin is in a small town in Ohio but I hear it has a very active campus in terms of activities, so location-wise I would take Reed anyday, but Reed is a very distinct school (a very intense one) so I agree that you should check out both in order to make the best decision.</p>
