<p>There’s a 28-year-old freshman in one of my classes and he’s a really cool person who seems to be doing very well socially.</p>
<p>The non-traditional students at Reed have their own support group/club/weekly outing thing where they go out together to socialize with adults/avoid falling into the creepy alcohol supplier role in their social circles. From what I’ve seen and heard, they also get some of the same services/privileges as the faculty and may consequently hang out with them too.</p>
<p>It seems to me like there’s lots of support for non-traditional students here. I don’t think it would be ridiculous for you to apply. The financial side of it would be my only concern.</p>
