Learning extends beyond Reed’s classroom walls, and our residence halls are a great example. Engage in philosophical debates in your hall's social room, brainstorm Renn Fayre ideas over a meal, and explore new worldviews through conversations with your floor mates.
As a first-year student, you'll live in a designated neighborhood with other first-year students who share your excitement and curiosity. Transfer students can live in upper-division neighborhoods or off campus. With access to residential events and on-campus resources, you'll have everything you need to thrive in your new home away from home.
