[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Reed grad as well.  While I agree with everything the other Reedie said, I want to point out that Reed is a [b]Great School for the Right Studen[/b]t.  I wasn't the right student, and college felt like the longest, darkest haul of my life.

Reed provides a great environment and rich network for many students, but it can also be disorienting and alienating for other students.  I sincerely believe that Reed's academic education is superior to nearly anything else available, and it might be an ideal school for someone who with a strong sense of self who wants a classical education or to go on in academia.  However, it's also intense and quirky in ways that absolutely wore me down, and I personally wish I had had the self awareness to transfer elsewhere after a couple of years rather than feel compelled to push through to graduation.  I know that Reed is working to improve its support for students, so maybe it's a better environment now - I sure hope so![/quote]

Please tell me you made this up and that this is not a thing like "Schools that Change lives"? What a racket.  And, yes, I went to some of their 25 colleges in a room presentations.[/quote]
