@Corbett If you read my post in its entirety I said it was just one perspective but I wanted to mention it. The student we met with was Hispanic from California and ended up at Reed because they gave him the best financial aid package. He was extremely candid. He mentioned he often felt like an outsider being a minority from a low income family. He wasn’t the assigned tour guide. We met him in the library and he was willing to sit and chat with us. I value his “live” perspective more than a newspaper article and apparently so did my D. Reed though is an excellent school.
