Review of Reed College

from Charlotte, VT

Will learn a lot

This school will teach you how to think independently and seek out your weak points in order to improve them.

Will enjoy being here

Tightly-knit student body with endless campus activities. The school is right in Portland, OR so off-campus events are easy to find as well.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

One of the more expensive schools out there- but for a good reason. Their need-based aid program, however, ensures that people who deserve to be there can make it happen.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Visit! Reed has a great prospective student program that includes visiting multiple classes, staying the night in the dorms, eating lunch students, and opportunities to use the gym and other facilities. Find someone cool and tag along for a day or two beyond your visit- most staff don't mind and it will give you a chance to enjoy the weekend.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Perfect for students who like to squish their toes around in the mud in order a) see what it feels like, and b) forget why you did it in the first place. Reedies study hard all week long- don't expect many parties on a Tuesday or Wednesday. But, come the weekend, are ready for a release.
