<p>I definitely want to go to grad school to study Greek and Latin classics, and then try to become a professor. Which college is stronger?</p>

<p>This isn’t what you’re asking, but it’s one bit of objective Classics grad school prep data:</p>

<p>Reed has Humanities 110, which every freshman is required to take:
[Reed</a> College | Humanities 110](<a href=“http://academic.reed.edu/Humanities/Hum110/]Reed”>Humanities 110 - Reed College)</p>

<p>Reed also has an extremely dedicated Classics department that focusses on Western Civilization:
[Reed</a> College | Humanities 110](<a href=“http://academic.reed.edu/Humanities/Hum110/]Reed”>Humanities 110 - Reed College)</p>

<p>For many other things, like pre-medicine, Johns Hopkins would win over Reed, but for the Classics, I’d wager Reed has better preparation. Of course, you’ll find similar offerings at JHU, but the Classics at Reed are kind of like the centrepiece of education at Reed.</p>
