There’s a lot of ways to get to Mudd: plane, train, bus, freelines (?), and commonly – by car. Sometimes, even from as far as 5,000 miles! After a few days in a small sedan, Mudd’s dorm rooms can feel refreshingly spacious. I asked a few Mudders about their experiences taking road trips either to […]

One of the best things (in my opinion) about Mudd is its proximity to so many great national parks, hiking trails, and mountains. I am two hours from Joshua Tree, Mojave National Preserve, Los Padres National Forest, San Bernadino National Forest, Anza Borrego Desert State Park, and more. Additionally, I am only a bit further […]

Hey guys! So this week I’m going to talk about something that I don’t know very much about: Grad school! “But Izzy”, you might ask, “why write about something you don’t know about?” This would be a reasonable question. And the answer is that I have veeeeery recently decided that I want to go to […]

Hey everybody! I’m Sophia and I’m a frosh at Mudd this year. This last weekend, I attended a CAP event, which is an activity subsidized by the Committee for Activities Planning that takes students off campus for a little while. There are concerts, musicals, beach trips, and more. The one I went to took a […]

Hello, my name’s Mason! I’m a freshman at Mudd, and this is my first blog post! I was not the archetypal good high school student. I procrastinated on big assignments, I didn’t study as much as I should have, etc.. I got through most of high school without really working for my good grades and […]

As you might know, one of the essay questions we ask applicants to answer is, “what influenced you to apply to Harvey Mudd?” When I was applying to Harvey Mudd College in the winter of 2012, I had actually missed that question altogether until 3pm on January 1st when I was about to submit my […]

Hi, I am Eleanor, a junior joint Physics-Math major. Recently, I was brainstorming blog ideas when I noticed that there have only been 2 blog posts (from 2016 and 2013) that outline a day in the life of a Mudder. Furthermore, these were both written by Engineering majors. This was a clear message to me […]

Hi guys! I’m entering my 4th year at Harvey Mudd, and my 4th year working for this blog. It’s been a lot of fun, but we’re getting to the home stretch. I’m doing… a lot of things this year. Some of the things that I’m doing are things that I’m definitely going to talk about […]

If you visit campus this year, you might get a chance to meet with one of our senior interns. If you’re a current senior applying to Harvey Mudd and you sign up for an admission interview on campus, you might interview with one of them! We thought we’d introduce our team to you all, because […]
