Great college, but not for everyone. A lot of people either make it or break it the first semester. You have to take this college seriously or you won't last long.
Katelyn from Bartlett, IL
Reed is tough. The students are intelligent, wild, liberal, and independent. The work is highly demanding, but very rewarding.
