One of the worst things about Reed, I think, is the hardcore ‘conservative liberalism’ that dominates the campus. It’s all liberal, all the time. We tease a dormie about being super conservative, when really, anywhere else in the country, he would be considered a moderate.

<p>I don’t think it looks that way from a broader perspective. On an international scale we are more conservative as a people, so we just adjust the compass to fit our needs. Reedies range from moderate conservatives to far leftists from a European’s point of view. Most Americans see this as ranging from moderate leftists to ultra-leftists. I think the political spectrum at Reed is wider than most people believe. At least from a political and economic perspective… Reedies are socially liberal, period.</p>

<p>I don’t think a true social conservative would be comfortable at Reed.</p>

<p>IMO.</p>
