Review of Harvey Mudd College

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

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.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Even though Mudd is really small, it offers a lot to all students. There are tons of clubs and activities to partake in, and there is definitely a social scene. There is never really a dull moment, and one of the best things about Mudd is the fact that it is part of the 5-Cs.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Because we are paying so much, Mudd offers a great amount of resources. The labs and equipment are all relatively new and there are many cool toys to experiment with and experience. The faculty and staff at Mudd truly care about you, too; they will go out of their way to help you understand material, and they are concerned for your welfare as well.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Prospective students need to maintain a good GPA in school, but they need to be well-rounded as well. Leadership positions, and excelling in things other than school (sports, the arts, etc) are all taken into account at Mudd. Mudders are unique and dedicated to all that they do, and they have many interests.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Mudd is great for traditional geeks and nerds but they are special and interesting. Mudders are social, talented, smart, and interested in combining all of the above to help the world. If you want one on one attention, research opportunities, and a community of students and faculty, Mudd is great for you.
