<p>Anyone doing this? I know about the 3-2 program, is that what most people do? just major in physics or something? Does anyone know any stats about this? Like people not getting into the engineering school they want? (for the 2 year)</p>

<p>Are professors good about extra help/office hours? Is it easy to get help?</p>

<p>I heard that reed is fairly unstructured, is that true?</p>

<p>If you are interested in a 3-2 program, you should read this thread: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/oberlin-college/859076-engineering.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/oberlin-college/859076-engineering.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>So basically no one actually does this 3-2 program? I mean the thread was about oberlin. so no one really goes to reed with engineering in mind…</p>

<p>I don’t know anything about the 3-2 program, but Reed is very structured.</p>

5

<p>I’ve heard that it’s hard to leave any school and your now-best-friends at the end of three.</p>

6

<p>so basically it just doesn’t happen?</p>

<p>Do what YOU want to do! :slight_smile: Ignore the band!</p>

<p>As for structure, there is one required freshman course (Hum 110), and then there are distribution requirements (a course from this group, that group).</p>

<p>I have a friend who is planning on doing the 3-2 program. He’s currently a physics major, but it really doesn’t matter much for the 3-2.</p>

<p>

Professors are great with extra help during their office hours, and I have even scheduled appointments with a couple professors outside of their office hours, although that is more difficult to arrange.</p>

<p>

No. You have the Hum 110 course, then distribution requirements.</p>

<p>Group A: literature, philosophy, religion, and the arts
Group B: history, social sciences, and psychology
Group C: natural sciences
Group D: mathematics, logic, foreign language or linguistics
Group X: 2 units in a single department outside the major department</p>

<p>Once you finish these (which is more than possible to do by the end of your sophomore year), you can take whatever you want as long as you end up with enough credits for your major.</p>
