As a rising senior I've reflected on my years at Reed. Also, staying in communication with alumni has shed some light on the Reed culture and what happens when you embark into the real world. While attending Reed you are in a bubble of intense academia and social strife. This may be a good preparation for those intending to stay in academia, future professors or philosophers. Alternately, a student headed into the finance or communications will struggle to adapt to the theories that actually pay the rent.
Everyone is very smart and open minded. However it is full of a bunch of very very rich liberals, many claiming to be radicals, who care more about abolishing cis than abolishing property and poverty. Just don't get fooled by "communism, atheism, free love." This is just another perpetuation of the liberal capitalist order. Community safety officers are so lit tho, they deserve more credit.
I graduated from Reed recently and I now work in financial services in NYC. Reflecting on my undergrad experience, I received a wonderful liberal arts education from a faculty of amazing professors. Reed offers a rigorous academic program, but also has a wonderfully quirky and liberal culture / social scene. Other miscellaneous thoughts: students have lots of autonomy, most campus dorms are nice or new, the campus is very safe and scenic, renn fayre is fun, the cafeteria (Commons) has good food, and Portland is an awesome city with lots to do, great food to eat, and lots of beer to drink.
