Tuition at Reed is $69,040 for the 2024-2025 school-year. This does not include housing, books, or other expenses.[3] Reed is secular, meaning the school is not part of a religion. The school does not do very many NCAA sports, and it does not have any fraternities or sororities.
Reed students are called "Reedies". Students are often called nonconformists. As a joke, some students say the motto of the school is "Communism, Atheism, Free Love".
