preppy colleges

@Camasite: You can see to what extent Reed’s full entry in the PH — which, as with the rest of the book, counters formal explication — comports with your experiences there:

Reed College. Portland, Oreg. 97022. Bohemian Prep college, but Oregon’s a hippie state anyway. School for rich carpenters-to-be. Has own ski lodge. 732 men and 500 women, all dress androgynously. SAT’s: V622, M635.

Yeah. Some kid showing up with a preppy blue blazer and loafers in the 1980s would have been laughed off campus.
