Worst of

Worst Things

  1. Sleep deprivation--fun and easy! Mudd students don't breeze through classes, and that kind of workload leaves little room for sleep. Say goodbye to your pillow when you get here.
  2. Workload. If the lack of sleep doesn't get you, the work really might. Try to stay afloat as best you can.
  3. Nerdiness. Sometimes it gets a little overwhelming, especially if it wasn't your thing to begin with.
  4. The "Mudd Bubble." The obvious drawback to creating such a tight-knit community is that sometimes you forget there's a world out there.
  5. Small size. You'll know everybody and wish you didn't, some mornings more than others.
  6. LA smog. So you can do without sleeping, and the workload didn't kill you, now try breathing this . . .
  7. There's little time for extracurricular activities.
  8. There's no grade inflation - your GPA will be smacked around until it hides under the table at a modest 2.5-2.7.
  9. With a such a small community, rumors spread through the gossip mill like wildfire.
  10. The ratio of guys to girls (for guys).
