<p>Reed has a reputation for very intense workloads. It also has a fair number of smokers (tobacco and other). It is in beautiful Portland, as you know, so winters are not too bad. </p>
<p>DH graduated from Mac. It’s a great school with a very international bent. It is known as a happy, diverse place. Winters are . . . significant. </p>
<p>Me, I’d pick Mac in a heartbeat – but I can see where different personalities would go Reed. It’s not that one is “better” than the other – it’s more of “What flavor is your favorite” sort of question. So, which flavor are you?</p>
