My wife went to Reed for a year. She has tales of spoiled rich kids complaining about their oppression in life as well as naked/stoned kids walking all over campus.
My first choice was a particular program at Northwestern University, and yes, that's where I went. I dropped out after 2 years, though, which I somewhat regret (but not entirely).
Dropped out entirely. Lots of factors combined, but it was the 60s... Civil rights, the Vietnam war, other stuff. I took some classes over the years, but didn't go back seriously to finish until about '88. Graduated in '90, then went straight to grad school.
I had been in a 6-year med program at NU - 6 years, 2 degrees. Personally I don't think many people are mature enough for that - to be in med school at age 20, with only 2 years of college and little adult life experience behind them - and I certainly wasn't one of them.
