She and her friends Ida Gibbs and Anna Julia Cooper were the only "colored" students in the graduating class who had taken the Classical Course.
Statistics for the class (including weight, height, and age, but not race) were printed in the Oberlin Review (June 25, 1884). When Terrell started as a freshman there were 65 students in the class - 50 men, 15 women; at the time of graduation there were only 27 men and 14 women. At 20 years old, Terrell was the youngest in her class. A majority of students were members of the Congregationalist church, and identified as Republicans (in the era when it was still the party of Lincoln).
Terrell indicated that her immediate plans were to rest (she had been ill several times during her schooling) and like many of her fellow grads (including Gibbs and Cooper), she intended to be a teacher.
