<p>Those efforts to paint Reed as some sort of a gulag, where students are organized in chain gangs and slave away to the wee hours of the morning, sustaining themselves only on dope and all kinds of dangerous substance, are so ridiculously funny that one cannot help but laugh (sinister intent notwithstanding).
On a serious note: I am a Reedie parent, and no, I never smelled any drugs in any of the dorms I visited.</p>
