<p>As a Freshman at Reed I can attest to the fact that Reed is not for everyone. To go here you really have to love learning. The workload is so intense here that if you’re not incredibly invested in the process of learning you will most likely fail. That being said the community is super close-knit and wonderful. Even after only one-semester here I feel totally comfortable with the Reed community. Mostly everyone is very nice and incredibly smart. While Reed can be claustrophobic sometimes because it is so small, the size also makes the community incredibly close-knit. Just being a Reedie connects everyone here and it is great. Another wonderful thing about the small size is the attention that you receive. Being able converse in and outside of class with some of the brightest minds in the US is a wonderful opportunity. The professors are top-notch and are all mostly willing to give you extra time for help or just conversation.</p>
<p>I hope this helped give you a little perspective. Don’t hesitate to inquire further if need be.</p>
