Yeah, I think Wesleyan is pretty funky, but you’re right: Reed is funkier.
Why Reed is funkier than Wesleyan:
(1) Wesleyan has NCAA sports. Including football.
(2) Wesleyan encourages students to compete for grades. They reward the highest GPAs with “Latin honors”.
(3) Wesleyan cares about its USN&WR ranking. They voluntarily provide USN&WR with the data that they request.
Let’s face it: Wesleyan is no different than Texas A&M in these regards. Reed is the funkier alternative.
