<p>Help me decide. I am thinking in engineering, physics or math but I would like to take some courses on business, economy, or just something else than science. People here compares Harvey Mudd with the Ivies, is it that good? I sometimes feel comments overrate it.
A friend from Harvard told me that the reputation of Colgate is high above that of HMC. I live abroad, I don't know anything. In my country both are as unknown as colleges in latin america are for americans.</p>
<p>Colgate does not actually have an engineering major. engineers at colgate spend three years at colgate and two at either Columbia , Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, or Washington University. The two typically aren't compared because Colgate is a liberal arts school and Harvey Mudd is engineering.

<p>yada, HMC is a Liberal Arts College, not an engineering college.</p>
<p>Rocket, HMC is known primarily for its STEM courses with the other liberal arts courses being attainable at the other Claremont schools. For a great all-around academic and college experience, Colgate over HMC, IMHO. In the end, it's where you'd feel more comfortable.</p>
<p>Hey mafp I am looking to do the same thing with engineering at Colgate and what you would do is something like a three-two program, but when I visited the Physics program many people said (mostly the professors) that almost all students stay at Colgate for 4 years and then go some where else for two years because they just like the experience at Colgate and thats why they stayed all four years. Also I don't know how good HMC is in terms of liberal arts program compared to Colgate's programs in Economics, Arts, and many more.</p>
<p>Thank you all</p>
<p>rsporter2001us, are you a colgate student?</p>
<p>No and yes, next year I am going to be a freshman.</p>
<p>So what are going to do, am I going to see you next year ;).</p>
