[quote=Anonymous]We (DD and I) visited last spring, so no actual experience with a student but at least we have been on campus. The vibe didn't connect with DD ... he only time we saw students on campus was in the library and no one seemed happy. It kind of fulfilled my 80s-era stereotypes of Reed, which was intense/intellectual kids, significant drug use, rain and gloom. We heard a lot about the thesis (which is fine, but my undergrad also requires a comps and a thesis but its not harped on -- although maybe that was our tour guide), the crows, and the spring Renn fair. The (quite lovely) campus is in a suburban area of Portland. In theory it looks like students could get to downtown Portland in 30 minutes or so by transit. To be honest, I think many other LACs, including several in the PNW, also have very strong PhD and other graduate school results -- so if that is driving your kid's interest, you may want to check out other options too.[/quote]
