College Prowler Quotes

Read Hundreds of Quotes from Reed College Students

Read samples from the Reed College guide below:

Academics

“Most of the teachers and classes are interesting as long as you slept the night before.”

Diversity

“Well, it depends what you mean by diverse. The school is trying to recruit more black students and faculty. I don’t think the school is very much less diverse than the Northwest is, in general. Put another way, Reed is diverse in the same way much of the...”

Guys & Girls

“Guys at Reed vary a lot. Some are incredibly sociable, while others rarely leave their rooms. There are guys here that I find attractive, but I don’t think it’s fair to generalize guys (or girls) as generally hot or not.”

Athletics

“Sports are almost nonexistent at Reed. The people who play are playing because they love the sport, rather than for any honor or glory they might receive. I admire their dedication, but I am happy that I am not an athlete.”

Academics

As any good college informer will say, Reed does not have any student teaching assistants; a professor (almost always with a doctorate in their possession) leads every lecture, conference discussion, and seminar. However, what often gets overlooked in an analysis of Reed is our penchant for first names. Our professors are not simply professors, they are Pancho, Natalia, Steve, Bill, and a slew of other friendly-faced first names. All students agree that before they are scholars and instructors, our...

Diversity

While Reed continues to work towards acquiring a greater degree of diversity, nearly everyone on campus believes that Reed’s diversity continues to be the school’s weakest characteristic. On certain days, spotting more than a handful of ethnic students can be difficult. More than two-thirds of Reed’s student body is caucasian. Although our school is hurting for a greater degree of diversity, students agree that Reed is working hard to better the situation. Over the past five years, the Admissions Office has...

Guys & Girls

At times, it becomes hard to tell whether or not someone at Reed is attractive or not. Mummified in unending layers of clothing to protect against the cold, rainy conditions, most people look akin to a mobile pile of winter clothing. Unless you happen to possess a fetish for scarves and umbrellas, then your best bet would be to wait until people have unwrapped their true selves from beneath their protective layers. On the surface and under wraps, Reed guys and girls are strikingly different from their state...

Athletics

Contrary to popular belief, Reedies are not athletic stars. However, despite the dearth of athletic activities on campus and the complete absence of varsity sports, Reedies do
enjoy sports (weather permitting). Although some of the student quotes may lead you to believe that Reedies shun the playing fields for the safety of their library, many enjoy being physically active. Both the women’s rugby team and the ultimate Frisbee team are popular fixtures on campus, and both travel to tournaments and do...
