| easy13wayout, we had the shirt created online on a website sort of like cafepress.com.
anyway, to answer your questions:
Every day in commons they have vegan, vegetarian, and meat specials, and the grill has both vegetarian and meat options. It's funny, though, becausee I'm in the same camp as you -- I wish I could be vegetarian (for environmental reasons only) but I don't have the willpower and I like burgers too much. First semester, I started reducing my meat consumption by only eating meat 5 days out of every 7 and then eventually 3 days out of every 7. It was very easy, and there wasn't much willpower involved because they always had yummy things on both sides. I became a big fan of the triple cheese tomato melts and (suprisingly) the black bean burgers on my vegetarian days. And you definitely won't get heckled either way, really.
I think the experience of all Reedies is that no matter who you are, there will be someone else weirder than you (at least one), and Reed has lots of people all over the spectrum of weirdness. I think the average person is probably around where you're talking about.
When I visited campus, I pretty much felt like I had found my home. That's the best way I could describe it. I just let the entire vibe of the place wash over me and felt uplifted and excited. It was funny, though, because I talked to so many different people andgot so many different opinions about the school that I was able to break away from firm beliefs and instead just get a sense for the general feel of it. |
