Then why go to these schools? I don't understand why you'd pay $80k a year (just checked Oberlin's tuition for 2022) to go to a place that you hate. It makes absolutely no sense!

They generally love their friends, love many of their teachers, and the environment, but they hate those who would enforce anything against what they think is right, or nice, or prudent.
