Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The best thing that can be said about HMC’s facilities is that resources are shared with the other 5C. The Scripps pool is definitely a great place to chill, and Claremont McKenna College has a great gym if you enjoy a solid workout. The Linde Activities center at Mudd has a workout center, basketball court, pool table, ping pong table, movies to check out, and even a massage chair. So students need not travel far for recreational activities.

The biggest downside concerning Mudd’s facilities is their aesthetic appeal, or lack thereof. HMC certainly doesn’t have the prettiest campus around. The facilities are practical, first and foremost. If you want pretty fountains and flowers, you can wander around Scripps (it’s a good place to go sunbathing). The labs and libraries are exceptional, especially Honnold/Mudd Library, which has about two million books for your browsing convenience. If you’re a workout junkie, CMC’s Ducey gym has the best workout center, including an indoor rock-climbing wall. Overall, if you can’t find what you’re looking for at Mudd, you most certainly will at one of the other 5C campuses.

We share the facilities of the all of the Claremont colleges, so overall, we have lots of pretty good options. Platt Campus Center is a particularly nice place to relax and do work in comfortable couches among friends.

Since it is a small school, the facilities are limited but adequate. The academic buildings are all cramped together, but the scientific equipment makes up for this.

Mudd loves to spend money on student facilities. We've got a really great study lounge with ridiculously comfortable couches and a free coffee machine. There's also the Activities Center where you can play pool, ping pong, air hockey, foosball, and watch TV. It has a gym with all the basic machines. If you are looking for a larger gym, the other four Claremont Colleges allow us use of their facilities as well.

Favorite Things To Do

If you're bored, you can always drop by the LAC, and chances are, something will be going on. You can play pool with the LAC supervisors, learn Latin dances at the Mudd Occasional Balls put on in the LAC gym, or do a quick workout. On the weekend, a lot of people go to see a movie in Galileo Hall during Friday Night Movie Guys, or venture south for concert nights at the Motley Coffeehouse, where 5C's own a cappella group, the Claremont Shades, perform. Studying is a huge part of Mudd socializing. There are always academic excellence (AE) sessions upstairs in the LAC, or study parties on the third floor of Sprague library. Study breaks, sponsored by the dean of students, are usually held in the LAC and involve lots of snacks to feed your hungry brain. Wandering around the dorms, there are always people sitting outside on couches, working on the next day’s homework assignments together.

Did You Know?

Take quick tour around campus and you will surely notice the “warty-ness” of the buildings. Every building, with the exception of Olin, is decorated by warts, blocks of cement popping out of the building. Most commonly, these warts line the column beams. It has become a tradition to call Warty the Wart as the unofficial mascot of the Harvey Mudd.
