Impressed with Reed College in Portland, Oregon

Last month, raincoat in hand, I traveled to Portland, Oregon. I definitely needed the raincoat as I walked on the campuses of the University of Oregon, Oregon State, the University of Providence, Providence State, Willamette,
Lewis and Clark and Reed. I was especially impressed with Reed, which is a coeducational, independent liberal arts and sciences college. Referred to often as one of the most intellectual colleges in the country, Reed is known for its high standards of scholarly practice, creative thinking, and engaged citizenship. There are lots of opportunities on campus for free weekend trips to enjoy hiking, white water rafting, and even skiing. Check it out at:
