My relationship with Harvey Mudd is quite messy and convoluted. No single experience will suffice to describe in its entirety; however, hopefully there is something helpful to you in my description! Let's begin.
One thing I will say, Harvey Mudd is very difficult. I assume you already know this if you are looking into it, but I want to stress that you will most definitely be challenged. There are many classes to get through, and they are very rigorous. There were a lot sleepless nights, several of which spent in the engineering basement. The constant flow of problem sets, quizzes, midterms and projects will keep you busy to say the least!
That being said, there is a wonderful support system at Mudd. Being in graduate school now, I really miss the accessibility to professors and student tutors. Mudd does a really amazing job of fostering collaboration with fellow peers and you guys will grow very close from all the shared struggle. I miss spending every night with them studying!

My experience at Harvey Mudd College has been endearing. The school is filled with good people willing to help and guide you through everything. Harvey Mudd is a good college for anyone enthusiastic about science. It offers core courses in the fields, but it also allows you to explore your various range of interests, even in other fields unrelated to technology. The school is simply AMAZING!
Harvey Mudd is a a great school and your learn a lot, but it's definitely challenging. I love my friends here and am grateful for my experience but it's definitely rigorous and I've struggled some. Would recommend though!
