<p>“My dad has a friend who got his PhD at Reed”</p>
<p>Reed has a tiny MA program in one discipline (Liberal Studies) and no PhD programs.</p>
<p>The Reed workload is very heavy, said to be up there with Swarthmore and U Chicago, such that someone heavily into drugs would likely have trouble completing the work. That said, Reed is tolerant of alternative lifestyles, treats students as adults, and is concerned more with safety than policing.</p>
<p>If you are accepted (and be aware that prospies’ level of interest is important to Reed) you should visit overnight; most come away with a strong feeling one way or the other.</p>
<p>:) The world has changed, with cigarettes despised, and marijuana tolerated. ;)</p>
