“And it’s definitely not on par with Chicago, to whoever said that above–maybe Lewis and Clark or something.”

@Coriander23 Thanks for the info but I’m an alumnus of the University of Chicago. Reed does have a two year Humanities program that is much like like the required humanities, civilization and social science part of the U of C Core.

Reed definitely isn’t anything like Swarthmore or anything around Philly. Not certain where this “easy” business comes from but Reed has divisional requirements like the U of C’s, qualifying exams and a thesis in the major.

“Cornell for prestige.” LOL! Yes, CALS, ILR and Human Ecology are the top SUNY schools.

The real issue is 1,400 students versus 14,000 undergrads + 6-7,000 grads.
