This place of learning is so much an ideal for me; not only is the coursework really difficult (depending on your major, you WILL get more work than you can possibly do, which teaches you efficiency and priority), but it is the most useful and educative work I have ever received. In High School, I was used to getting assignments that were, by definition, busy work—teaching me little and taking up more time than they were worth—but here you receive a 150 page reading assignment wherein every page is worth reading, and typically carefully chosen by the professor for just that reason. People here abide by the honor principle very well (not perfectly) socially and academically. When a teacher gives a test, you can take it out of the room and do it in the library or your room or what-have-you, even if it were a closed-book test. People trust that you will be honorable in your treatment of your own learning and your own social life, and Reed works when people do just that—and it works beautifully. People here are of two major types: the best people you will ever meet in your life and some of the strangest (though the two are not necessarily separate). There is a social niche for just about any type of person, and though there may not be much racial diversity, there's an endless supply of social and mental diversity, which creates a beautiful environment for learning both in class and from your peers outside. If there is just one thing I can emphasize about Reed, it is that the great majority of learning and maturing occurs during late-night, long-lasting conversations with your fellow Reedies. I have learned far more from my friends and acquaintances than I have from my classes—and I have learned more in the classes I have taken at Reed than I learned in all of my High School classes combined. This school is ultimately what you make of it, and there are times when the weather or people can get you down, but all you have to do is look forward and around you. Slow down and appreciate the beauty of the situation! You're at college to learn in all areas of life, not just to get a degree. Learn from the difficult times how to handle with likewise-difficult future events, and learn from the wonderful times how to appreciate life and learning. Come to Reed. Smile. |
