    Since most of the classes I’m taking are introductory classes—this is the case for most freshmen—I don’t get to delve as deep as I’d like to into certain subject matters until succeeding years. The other downside is that academics here focus more on theory than on practicality. For example, in math classes the professors emphasize proofs for why the equation is the way it is rather than applying that equation to real life situations. In spite of this, however, the courses cover enough topics that there’s bound to be something that catches my interest. The humanities class, for example, which all freshmen are required to take, covers everything from art to history to philosophy. My humanities professor really challenges us to think outside of the box by trying to get us to find evidence for both sides of an argument and not take a text at face-value. The lectures and conferences make me appreciate what I’m reading a lot more than if I had just buried my nose in the texts for a few hours. The small class sizes (about 15-20 students) also make it easier to participate in class, so you get to be more actively involved in what you are learning. What makes Reed unique is that it promotes learning for learning’s sake partly by deemphasizing the value of grades. Instead of a letter grade scrawled at the top of my papers I get extensive comments from my professors, which is really helpful because they tell me exactly what I did well on and what needs more work. read full review

    Visit! Reed has a great prospective student program that includes visiting multiple classes, staying the night in the dorms, eating lunch students, and opportunities to use the gym and other facilities.
