Review of Harvey Mudd College

from Thousand Oaks, CA

Describe your college in three sentences.

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.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

It's tough! No boring and simple but tediously long problem sets here; instead we've got (tediously hard) homework with a few questions that will make you delve deep into the subject.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

There are no fraternities or sororities at HMC, but each dorm has their own culture and party style. Harvey Mudd dorm parties are considered some of the best in all the of the 5 Claremont Colleges.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Mudd food is reputed to be the best tasting. It may not be the most healthy, but there is a lot of good comfort foods.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

You can go explore The Village, hang out with friends, or venture into the LA area!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

West Dorm is a bit fire obsessed and there are great dorm parties with awesome themes!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Be prepared to work yourself to the bone! Mudd is a great place for students who love science and math.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

NONE.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

We get campus safety reports of suspicious activities on the other four campus in 5C but generally only bike and skateboard thefts happen on Mudd campus. Make sure to keep your stuff locked!
