<p>Also, I’d like to point out that if what’s drawing you to Reed is that it’s a hippie school, you might want to reconsider because that is increasingly proving to be a myth; Reed is more a mix of all sorts of students and you might be disappointed if you came in expecting a place full of hippies. Quirky-yes, but hippie-no, is the thumb rule to go by, especially if it’s a deciding factor for you.
I don’t know much about Vassar, but at least, by today’s standards, they’re not any less hippie-ish than Reed.</p>
