During this special visit week, you will learn about Reed and the college application process.
Reed will provide: information sessions to introduce you to how we learn at Reed; essay-writing workshops to guide you in crafting an authentic, well-written college essay; and campus tours to show you how we live at Reed. You can also visit other private colleges in Oregon as part of your time in the Pacific Northwest.

Discover Reed is the most in-depth introduction to the college we offer. Visit us and take behind-the-scenes tours of campus, including our nuclear reactor and canyon; participate in forums with staff and faculty; sit in on classes and open houses
Students living more than 100 miles from Reed are welcome to spend one night as a guest in a residence hall as part of their Discover Reed experience. If you are within 100 miles of Reed and want to stay overnight on campus, please make arrangements to do so on another night in the fall.
