“Steve Jobs dropped out of Reed College after the first six months but remained as a 'drop-in' for another 18 months.”
Steve Jobs enrolled at Reed College in the fall of 1972 but officially withdrew after only six months because he felt the high tuition was depleting his parents' savings without providing clear personal value. According to his 2005 Stanford Commencement Speech and historical records from Reed College, he remained in Portland for approximately 18 additional months as an unofficial student. During this period, he slept on the floors of friends' dorm rooms and survived by returning glass Coca-Cola bottles for five-cent deposits. Jobs used this time to drop in on courses that interested him, most notably a calligraphy class taught by Robert Palladino. He later credited this specific course as the reason the original Macintosh included multiple typefaces and proportionally spaced fonts. This 18-month informal education ended in 1974 when Jobs left for India to seek spiritual enlightenment before returning to California to co-found Apple.
