    Junior : Texas A&M was my dream school before I applied and now that I'm going to be a senior, I can honestly say it has exceeded my expectations. I feel extremely prepared for my career, I enjoy going to class, and I have experienced firsthand just how helpful and encouraging the Aggie network is. Your experience here is what you make it. It's a large school but you are given plenty of opportunities to make it seem smaller by meeting people, volunteering, going to events, and gathering on campus. They are even making an effort to bring more green space to the campus, encourage less pollution and more recycling, and embrace diversity. I appreciate my school in so many ways and will be leaving next year being greatly impacted for the better. Thanks and Gig 'em!

    Alum : Reed College is not a school for the careerist. Those that think they have achieved a sufficient amount of learning by simply earning high grades, in this age of grade inflation, will be best suited somewhere else with a larger alumni network that will non-chalantly hand you a job upon graduation. The heat that Reed College currently faces is due in part to its approach to education: students are to study and learn first before all other things such as partying, career networking, and entrepreneurship. There are those that do not feel that education is a top priority at college, but rather the "social/life/business" aspect. What can I say, people value appearances and status.
