Reed is a strange place and, in my opinion, kind of insular and depressing. I graduated from there in the late 1980s. It's not a place that produces many professionals. Academics, yes, maybe. But not a lot of people who go on and actually interact with the world and do major things like start or run businesses or invent new products or go into politics or lead organizations. It's a place that promotes rigorous thinking, but is overly self-conscious. Too many drugs as well. Not enough sunshine. I would never encourage my own child to attend Reed. I got a good education, but would have been happier and gotten an equally good education at a more conventional school. The place was kind of run down when I was there, and still is (I walked through campus a couple years ago and couldn't believe how quaint and tiny it seemed). This sounds like a negative review, but Reed IS an excellent school. It's just that if you have a choice, don't get taken in by the self-professed egg-headedness of the place. There are equally good schools that are not so isolated and dark.
