Everyone agrees that attending school at Mudd is both a gift and a curse. The workload is immense, the tests are sometimes impossible, and a two question homework assignment can take all night. The reason most of us came to Mudd has a lot to do with the academic integrity of the College (we have one of the lowest grade inflation rates out of any college in the U.S.) and a lot more to do with the community. The professors here are amazing and the deans know students by name. The students are generally respectful of and helpful to each other. One of the main reasons that Mudd is such a strong community is the Honor Code. The Honor Code is a way of life for students and is created and governed by students. Students here take it to heart. It means closed-book, closed-notes, take-home finals; being able to leave your possessions unguarded when you take a coffee break; 24-hour access to any academic building; having your wallet returned to you if you lose it in lab; and not having to lock your door, even if you go home for the weekend. Mudd has a trusting community. People look out for each other.
Along with academic strength and a good technical based education, the community makes Mudd one of the best schools around. HMC does a great job at weaving a unique social experience with an academic curriculum matched by few other schools. Harvey Mudd Student ReviewsWhat's This?Filter:

These Girls Are Not a C
A
As a guy at Mudd, I have to say that the girls in Suite Booty in Linde Dorm are pretty hot. They are a legacy suite that throws parties such as Lingerie, Anything But Clothes, and Red Light District. Those girls alone can change the grade for girls at Harvey Mudd from a C to an A! |

Pretty Chill
A+
The current policy is basically do what you want, but if you do something stupid you're screwed. Underage drinking is abundant in Linde and North dorms, and some what also in West. However, since the administration mainly leaves students alone, we are able to be responsible and can avoid things such as front loading before going out at night. |

Lots of Variety
A-
There are 5 colleges, with each college having at least one dining hall, as well as some sort of store. Needless to say, this makes it pretty easy to get some variety. People learn which dining halls they like for which meals and tend to follow a pattern; for example, the sandwich bar at lunch at Pitzer is amazing, while the Mudd dining hall's best meal is breakfast. |
