How is the math dept?

<p>Any advice you can give me on how you would rate WashU for a math major? Also can you compare the program/opportunities for a math major to Harvey Mudd, Duke & Penn?</p>

<p>Bumping for responses</p>

<p>Go to the Bear Buddies group on facebook. There are current student contacts for each major at wash u. You’ll be matched up with students in each program to whom you can ask questions.</p>

<p>No one can objectively compare the undergrad departments bc no one has gone to all three. You’ll get a fine education at any. The key differentiating factors in undergrad should be subjective things like fit, campus size, things to do nearby, athletic culture, dorms, etc. Between these three schools, I’d say the Math dept strength would be the most similar thing! Each of the schools has very different characteristics in terms of the qualities I just listed.</p>
