U.S. News & World Report just published a profile of the college I attended. The article sounds very much like the Reed I knew, so despite the "whoa, look at these weirdos" tone, I guess they pretty much got it right.

Just saying.

Do I strike you as snootily liberal? ;-)

But you're from the East Coast, so you get to be way cool. :)

No, but I'm not in high school anymore, either, so it's sort of a moot point. But if I recall correctly (and somewhere, therealjae is snorting at that likelihood), the prejudice wasn't against Reed students so much as it was against the institution. It was very much, "that school thinks they're so hot getting all those East Coast kids to come there." In a similar way, there was a lot of anti-Stanford bias but we thought Penn was cool. And again, that was flipped for the people I later got to know who'd grown up on the East Coast.
