Hi everyone! My name is Doug, and this is my first time posting on the blog! I’m a rising junior at Mudd who’s passionate about engineering and material science. Before coming to Mudd, I grew up in various towns in Connecticut which is quite the distance from here. Through my blog posts, I want to […]

Hey guys! This week I wanted to talk about one of the on-campus academic resources, the Writing Center. The Writing Center provides students with peer-on-peer support for papers, writeups, and any sort of written documents. Last Friday they had their Happy Hour event, which I attended, so I sat down with Blake to talk about […]

April is probably the most hectic month of spring semester. Classes are coming to an end which means final projects and the second round of midterms are in full swing. Homework for every class seems be much more challenging and thus take much longer than it did a couple weeks ago. Registration period is nearing […]

Hey guys! Today I’m going to talk about some of the ResLife (Residential Life) staff at Mudd. The vast majority of Mudders live on campus so the environment that Proctors (our equivalent to RA’s) and Mentors (RA underlings? I don’t have a comparison) create is important to the feel of the school overall. There will […]

April is a funny time to work in a college admissions office: I’m hearing from high school seniors who are looking towards the future and trying to decide where to go. I’m also hearing from college students who are looking back on their college experience and say, “I wish I knew…” or “I didn’t know […]

This year, for spring break, I decided to stay in the area for part of the week and explore the LA area a little more; Mudd is so close to a city that attracts so many tourists from around the world, so I imagined there would be enough to keep me busy for a couple […]

Hey guys! Last semester, I did a post about faculty hobbies and interests outside of what they do at school. The ones last time were great, but they weren’t even all of the responses that I had! In this post, I’m gonna talk about some more faculty, and the things that they do to enrich […]

Today is the day. At 6:00pm PDT, we will be releasing our decisions. Technically we have been recruiting the Harvey Mudd College Class of 2022 for years, ever since some of you checked that magical box on your PSAT’s saying that you were willing to receive mail from colleges. And today is the day we have […]

Last week, I got to take a break from reviewing applications to catch up with the Admission Senior Interns. We ordered delivery from The Spot, a cafe just down Foothill Blvd., and talked about our spring semesters and our plans for spring break, which started yesterday. Read on to learn about what the interns have […]

Hey everybody. Spring break is in just over a week for us here at Mudd, and that means one big thing: midterms (or finals if you’re in a half semester course). And I’ve gotta say, the weather has done a lot to match the mood the last few weeks! Chipper Californians have become bitter, bundled […]
