Hello, my name is Savanah! I first heard about Mudd during my senior year of high school and I would say I applied on a whim. Being from south Florida, California schools weren’t on my radar until I checked out the HMC website and fell in love with the idea of a liberal arts college […]

Hi! My name is Alyssa Okimoto and I’m a rising senior majoring in chem-bio at Mudd. I heard about HMC in my freshman year of high school when one of Mudd’s Admission officers visited my school. Even as a freshman I knew I wanted to focus on the sciences, but I didn’t want to give […]

Hey y’all! It’s Hannah, back with another blog! Last time, I talked about how much I loved being a theatre major, but I also want to highlight some parts of the STEM side of my major, starting with my experience doing a thesis! As a math/comp bio (aka mathematical and computational biology aka MCB) major, […]

Hi y’all! My name is Hannah and I’m going to be writing some blog posts this summer, although I just graduated from Mudd two months ago! I previously wrote some blogs two years ago, when I worked on campus and gave admissions tours over the summer, and now I’m back (metaphorically, since I’m technically still […]

Today we have a guest blog by Eva ’23 on how she decided to come to Mudd and how those factors have played out in her first year experience. Hello! I’m Eva, Mudd Class of 2023.
