[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that a lot could change.

But fyi in the PNW I might recommend Reed and Whitman over the two you mentioned — maybe especially Whitman for a kid who doesn’t like urban bustle. Whitman is hard to get to, but that isolation gives it a vibe that’s really unique. A reasonably sized town with great restaurants etc., but also the wide streets and rural charm feel of a midwestern town. Wonderfully friendly, down-to-earth kids, arty and outdoorsy, smart and unpretentious. Great STEM, and also art everywhere on campus.

Don’t have a kid there and not an alum, though DC is applying. [/quote]

Reed is definitely not down to earth. [/quote]

PP, I suggested it bc it draws very smart kids, it’s got terrific STEM and also great arts, campus in a city but not too urban/bustling. Just seemed like potentially a better fit for the kid OP described.[/quote]

It does have that, but it’s far from down-to-earth. Reed draws from a very liberal, very intense student population. For someone who wants moderate and down-to-earth, Reed isn’t the right place. [/quote]
