We asked Michael...
Is the stereotype of students at your school accurate?
Reed will drive you motherfucking insane
A particular crowd within the student body at Reed use a whole helluva lot of drugs (mostly psychedelics and research chemicals, as well as good ol' herb, but there is also a seedy heroin and cocaine scene that you won't notice unless you look for/fall into it.)
All reedies are brilliant in their own funny way, most are quite poetic, and Reed as a whole is one of the most creative places I've ever been
Reed is, in fact, very, very small. If you don't like small places it can be too small. If you like them, it could be just right.
Reed has a sublime little basement area with a fantastic jukebox and lots of murals that is known as the poolhall.
