Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

REVIEWS

Read What Students Are Saying
Mudd is extremely well known for its approach to learning, and for good reason. Each professor loves what they teach, and love to spread their knowledge and love for their subject. They are very open and willing to teach, and each class offers something new to students, regardless of their previous knowledge.
Thousand Oaks, CA
Attending Mudd is like having a full-time job: you study hard and you are paid in knowledge! The classes and professors encourage you to be curious and hardworking all year long. Fellow students are both nerdy and brilliant, awkward and friendly.
A Mudder
Harvey Mudd allows a lot of freedom to learn your major as well as experience other areas. It's huge on research and that's something I love. The people are fantastic and you can almost always instantly connect with at least a couple.
Callie
A small, cozy place where everyone follows the Honor Code which definitely made life so much better.
Professors are super-nice and they really mean what they say and take you seriously.
Best dining hall and dorms among 5C.
Xi from China
Mudd is hard. Be prepared for caffeine and disappointment.
Lauren from Kailua, HI
Harvey Mudd College, a member of the Claremont Colleges Consortium, is a small college of only about 800 students; however, you will find yourself lacking in friends or intelligent peers. From tough academics to quirky traditions, we believe in quality over quantity. At Mudd, we are more than just classmates and schoolmates, we are family.
Isabell from Thousand Oaks, CA
The best STEM school out there. Harvey Mudd has a small, dedicated group of students that are all here to learn. Mudd offers fantastic programs across the board, for CS to Engineering to Biology.
