questions from a (hopefully!) future reedie

<p>Reed pays all the travel expenses for the minority recruitment program or whatever they call it. And it’s actually in the fall, not the summer and is only for HS seniors.

<p>Double-majoring is near impossible though there are like 2-3 students each year who manage it. I’d assume you’d have to add at least one extra year to finish two majors as there are quite a few distribution requirements and then major requirements. Another option is to make your own major by combining two departments-- you have to write a compelling proposal as to why you can’t just major in one or the other department, and that usually means having a pretty good idea of what you want your thesis to be… then you may have to do 2 quals, depending on the departments. There are also pre-existing interdisciplinary majors including Biochemistry and International and Comparative Policy Studies (ICPS), which is the closest thing to international relations…</p>

<p>All students are supposed to have at least second year proficiency in a foreign language before graduating, so in a way it’s kind of like a minor… you could definitely continue with French studies without majoring in French.</p>

<p>There are study-abroad options but in general study-abroad doesn’t seem as wildly popular as at some other LACs. Not to say that students don’t study abroad, but just that it isn’t a feature of the college that is widely promoted.
