I’m going to agree that “cutthroat” is not a term to describe Reed. But I think you would work harder than than Haverford – but if you love the subject you are studying, is that a bad thing? If the costs both work, go visit Reed and then make a decision. I have visited both (and moved to the Pacific Northwest a few months ago, so have just been through my first winter here – personally I prefer it to east coast winters, but that is up to you). You will only fly home a few times a year – once you have to get on a plane at all, not sure that the difference is huge. I like both schools a lot (actually have one kid who would have been a great fit at Haverford, and one that would have been a great fit at Reed – for various reasons they didn’t apply, but I have looked hard at both schools). To me you sound a little more like a Reed student – but you need that FA package to make sure it works.
