Review of Harvey Mudd College

from China

Describe your college in three sentences.

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.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Harvey Mudd College is indeed the most hard-working college in the US. I, for example, never get to go to bed before 1:00 during workdays. First year is pass/fail which means you get to enjoy your freshman year. Profs are really nice and they are waiting to answer your questions, work may be hard, but it's even harder to fail.

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

I LOVE this school! We get to examine real nano-materials during freshman year, (if you take that elective) and get to build real circuits that use solar panel to charge our phones. Profs here are really nice and are right there waiting to answer questions.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I live in the best dorm among the five colleges!!! I share a suite with three upper class man and I share a room with a frosh. There's a kitchen in our suite, an individual bathroom and a huge living room. Just a few days ago, my other suitemates literally decorated our room a huge gift box.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Everyone knows Hoch, our dining hall, is the best among 5C.

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

Go Linde Activity Center, hang out with friends or with all kinds of organizations or dorms, watching movies etc.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Willing to accept challenge. Able to follow the Honor Code. Have the courage to accept you are not the best.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Hang out nearly every week with these lovely people.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
