Application Questions

In a few sentences, please tell us why you are interested in the Reed in Nepal program, and what you hope to gain from the experience.

Please describe previous travel or study abroad experiences outside wherever you consider your home country, if any.

Note: No prior experience is required.

Can you describe your previous experience with hiking or high elevation?

Our trip will involve brief high elevation hikes.

What courses have you taken or other experiences have you had in the past (at Reed or elsewhere) that you think are particularly helpful or pertinent to your plans to potentially study abroad in Nepal?

This question is not about past travel experience, there is a place to describe those above.

Do you have skills that would be helpful for other members of the group to know about?

For example, being CPR certified or multilingual.

What is your communication style?

If accepted, you will be living in close quarters and doing group work/learning intensely with other Reed students nearly 24 hours a day for 14 days. If possible, cite a specific example of how you handled communication hurdles in social work/life situations in the past.

Are you comfortable with dorm style accommodations, shared bathrooms, and other features of communal living?

We will be based in a fairly comfortable hotel, but there will be no private rooms.

Do you have any documented or undocumented learning or physical accommodation requests?

If so, we will make every effort to make those accommodations, however it is important to note that some accommodations may be more challenging or impossible while traveling.

Do you have any dietary restrictions, allergies, sensitivities, or intolerances that would be helpful to share with us?

If so, we will make every effort to support you while traveling.

Do you have any questions or concerns about traveling abroad (in general) or traveling to to study in Nepal (specifically) that you would like to share with us?
