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.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
When you go to visit, don't just look specifically at Harvey Mudd. It's part of the 5 Claremont Colleges and that contributes to the school's culture, so learn a little about how the colleges are all connected, not only academically but socially as well.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
With the Common Core as 1/3 of the freshman requirements, as well as HSA (Humanities, Social Sciences and Arts) as another 1/3 and your intended major as the last 1/3, Harvey Mudd truly allows for a well-rounded education. The honor code is a major factor in the teachings of the school, and you can always travel to one of the other 5 Cs if Harvey Mudd doesn't offer a certain class.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
There are multiple dorms that all have a different culture to them. Over the summer, you get a housing packet, and the more accurately it's filled out, the better chance you have of being matched with people and in a dorm to your liking or similar to your culture.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are multiple different options at Harvey Mudd, and you can always go off campus to one of the other dining halls at the other Claremont Colleges.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
During ASP (the Admitted Students Program) there were so many activities to choose from, that all sounded fun and I didn't even get the time to go to all of them. You can learn to free line, hike, ski or snowboard, play sports, etc. There are so many things to choose from.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are clubs all over Harvey Mudd, and you can also participate in other clubs that are a part of the 5 Claremont Colleges.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Non-existent.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
It's really safe. There's lights everywhere and almost all of campus is for pedestrians only. There's a couple of main roads that separate the 5 Claremont Colleges from each other, and within certain campuses as well, but Harvey Mudd is basically one straight pedestrian road that is surrounded by the buildings and dorms.
