Its an eccentic school with eccentric students. Where any and all ideas are accepted
That they are are geeks, eccentrics, hipsters, socially awkward, neurotic and aloof.
It seems to me that Reedies are perceived as socially inept, strangely "free-spirited," and trip-over-their-own-feet intelligent.
weird, creative, intellectual, unathletic, given to excessive drug use, socially awkward.
Outsiders believe that all Reedies (or more students than other colleges) do a lot of drugs and smoke. Reedies often refer to other Reedies as being painfully awkward in social situations and incredibly studious.
Dirty, nerdy and awkward. We're thought to spend all day in the library, which we do.
They smoke alot of weed, and are into really funky things.
People think that Reedies are all intellectual, dirty elitists. When I told people I was going to Reed, they treated it like me trying too hard to be different.
I think people in Portland think we're privileged brats. They believe we have no conception of real life or what it means to be mature--and that we really like weed. A lot of my friends who are familiar with Reed call it "Weed College."
Reedies like to do a lot of drugs and are all very liberal and hippyish. Reedies are very awkward socially.
Reed = Weed...and many other drugs. Also I heard before coming here that Reed had the highest suicide rate. Reedies are nerds and the most awkward group of people you'll ever encounter. I've heard that some people think Reedies are pretentious as well.
i've often heard it said that reedies are hippies, elitists, radicals, upper-class suburban white kids, drugged out, socially stunted, brilliant, hipsters, and awkward.
They are socially retarded and incredibly smart. They smoke too many cigarettes and don't get enough sleep. They smell bad and look like shit.
We're smart but somewhat socially impaired.
Everyone is high all the time, they will not look up at you, smile, wave, or acknowledge you- even if you are friends, Everyone is constantly in the library doing work or looking for a spot to have sex without being seen. Everyone is really smart.
The two biggest stereotypes about Reedies are that they are always focused on their workloads and they do a lot of drugs. Additionally, I think that Reed students may be perceived as both crazy and cynical, which the "Atheism, Communism, Free Love" motto might have something to do with.
hippie, progressive, self-absorbed, non-conformists.
liberals, awkward, smart, communist, atheist, spoiled, progressive, anti-mainstream, vegan
They don't do enough drugs and spend all their time watching Superbowl reruns. Also, I hear they are incredibly clean creatures.
Some of the pretty obvious ones are that we don't shower, we spend most of our waking hours in the library, and that we are all trust-fund hippies who consume our weight in drugs on a weekly basis and are only slightly to the right of Stalin. There are a few more that we mockingly self impose, but they're hard to understand without having spent a little time here.
Reed is a school full of hardworking hippies who do a lot of drugs, sleep very little, and are all bizarre individuals in some respect.
