<p>I know Reed is hard--really really hard. But exactly how much free time does the average student have during the week? How about weekends? Part of why I'm asking is I want to maintain my martial arts practice.</p>
<p>Also, I hear the public transportation system in the Portland area is good (i.e. I don't want to bring my car). Is it? And is it safe? Also, how easy is it to get from the Reed campus to Vancouver, WA? I ask because I know some guys up there I want to train with.</p>
<p>very easy to get from Reed to Vancouver ( BCor WA)
My daughter often takes the train or bus from Seattle to Portland ( she doesn't have a car but she has a bike) Once you figure it out ( which doesn't take long) trimet is very easy to use.
( and safe)
for free time I believe much depends on major-but students do have outside interests like rock climbing, martial arts chicken raising, but ask on thelive journal site for more detail</p>
