Reed is a fantastic, one of a kind school for the right kid. I would be proud to be in your shoes, and I hope that your daughter enjoys the experience.

Would NEVER to go a school where the environment on campus is such that the student body can't tolerate toe hear opposing thoughts and shuts out non-far left dreams.

Berkeley, Middlebury, probably Oberlin, etc. No way.

For instance in Mass most folks know Boston University, Northeastern and Harvard which are three of the four largest colleges in Mass.

But surprisingly to me at least UMASS Amherst is the largest college in that state.

I doubt most people even know the difference between Boston University & Boston College. Or UNC-Chapel Hill & NC State or Wesleyan (the highly ranked SLAC in CT) & Ohio Wesleyan. Or....

Most people probably couldn't accurately name all the Ivys either. My cousin from Boston, for instance, recently asked me if Providence was an Ivy League school. And he is highly educated!

So, yeah, just because someone (on or off this board) hasn't heard of a school or know that it is highly ranked doesn't mean that it isn't an excellent school.

Never said it wasn't an excellent school. Just low "brand" recognition.

ok. Brand recognition doesn't matter to most of us. That's not how to pick a school.

That's fine. But don't expect hiring managers to know all of the little, obscure schools.

employers know Davidson just fine, thanks.

No actually they don't.

+1 outside of the southeast it really is a no name school. That may not be fair but that’s the way it is.

Mine goes to one of those and loves it. Lots of different opinions are heard on campus. We are Republicans and are 100% fine with it. Don't believe everything you see on the news - they over hype things for ratings. All of these will give your child a top notch education.
