Anonymous asked: Hi. I'm a freshman at a college in the Midwest, and I'm thinking about transferring to Reed. What do you think are some "must know" considerations before making my decision? What advice could you give me? Thanks!

Hey there anon! If at all possible, I would highly recommend visiting campus, sitting in on some classes, talking to profs and students, and just getting a general sense of the campus vibe. Regarding “must knowns”, without any more details on you, I’d just point out that campus is relatively small population wise (~1400) and that the academics do get pretty intense (but you knew that).

Feel free to hit me up with your email if you want to discuss Reed further, or search the “reed college” tag and hit up some other Reedies. There certainly are a lot of us on tumblr at this point.

If anyone else has some input, feel free to respond.
