Great People, but Shy and Busy
Most people here are wonderfully interesting and usually passionate about something, whether it be academic, political, or some particular skill or hobby. People are generally not unattractive, but not a huge amount of capital is placed on being super hot. Most people are great to be friends with, but are often too shy to initiate relationships, or don't have the time to put into them what with the heavy academics.

Normal for the Average City of Portland's Size
For the most part, the school puts in a strong effort to make the campus a safe environment. CSO's (Community Safety Officers) are there to help students if they need it, while not breathing down the students' necks. There have been occasional armed robberies on campus, probably because the robbers know Reed is extremely affluent (about 48% of students need no financial aid). Whenever this happens, though, Community Safety is quick to send out an email notification and extra patrols, and contacts the Portland Police Department. For the most part, the Honor Principle applies and there are few thefts committed by actual Reed students; the ones that do occasionally happen seem to mostly be done by people outside the Reed community. It's not a gated community (which I wouldn't like anyway), but I have never felt unsafe at Reed.
