| I graduated from Reed 48 years ago (sorry, Savvy Miss -- I know I'm too old for your site, but couldn't resist a comment), and guess what, it's hardly changed at all! And that's good, as far as I'm concerned, because I loved it, and still love it all these years later. It's beautiful, it's stimulating, it's life changing, and I consider it my spiritual and intellectual home. | |

| I'm looking forward to my 10-year Reed Reunion next year. It's always nice to know that for all of the talk of "Old Reed" and "New Reed", it's always the Same Reed at its core. | |

| I also graduated from Reed, but it was about 10 years ago. I was a dunce about the college-chosing process, I had no idea what I was looking for. But as soon as I started walking through campus on the tour with the student-guide, I knew it was for me. I don't even know how I knew, and the reasons I had then probably weren't even the real reasons. I've heard a lot of people say the same. Reed is an intense place. I didn't take things seriously my freshman year, and I got blown out of the water my sophmore year. After that, I buckled down and was ultimately very satisfied with my experience. I've heard this said about Harvard but it applies to Reed, too: "good grades, social life, sleep: pick two." (Reed is the Harvard of the west, right?)It's interesting to note that (in general) your grades are not revealed to you unless you ask. I didn't ask until 3 years after I graduated, and I did much better than I thought! | |
