<p>Harvey Mudd is the one for me.
Clarification received from my visit to the campus today.</p>
<p>Why is Mudd for you?</p>
<p>Because when I have time to have a life at Mudd (which is not terribly often), I have my own labs to work in and awesome support from the faculty.</p>
<p>I remember when I visited and this dude was trying to explain (to a chick) a love triangle that was going on, and he was using molecular bonding analogies to do it. </p>
<p>I like couches. I like watching TV from them, playing video games from them and even sleeping on them (sometimes more than a bed). And Mudd has couches. </p>
<p>Dr. Art Benjamin, professor of mathematics, can square 6 digit numbers in his head and similar math feets. I just want to take a class with him SOOOOO much, especially after reading his book. </p>
<p>I had a lot of fun at the Admitted Students Program, despite chuggin <a href="http://www.clamato.com/energia_ing.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.clamato.com/energia_ing.htm</a> notice the clam on the right side.......</p>

<p>(BTW werent those for your orientation rocket?)</p>
<p>Honorable mentions:
Long Tall Glass.
Scripps.</p>
<p>PS Although not a part of my preference in anyway, I found it amusing that the computer network at Mudd has the largest database of porn on it that i have ever seen and/or heard of.</p>
<p>o man, those were enjoyable</p>
<p>Haha yep. I was there as a frosh when those videos were revealed.</p>
<p>"(BTW werent those for your orientation rocket?)"</p>
<p>Yup. I love those things. Made orientation almost enjoyable :).</p>
<p>Hey, where is everyone?</p>
<p>Mudd is for me because I'm introverted and the type of person who feels uncomfortable when interacting with people outside of engineering.</p>
<p>Now now, we don't quite think like that. The philosophy is that engineers, scientists, and mathematicians should have an element of well-roundedness, and not be too narrow. Of course it's good to be focused, but you should be able to put your work into broader perspective.</p>
<p>That said, we get a lot of people with the introvert, narrow mindset who develop and grow more diverse throughout their college career.</p>
<p>I have to say that I loved those videos--the biology one in particular. Evil-loution...</p>
<p>I've been looking at Mudd for awhile now. It seems like a great school.</p>
<p>Wow, nice videos. Im a junior, prospective Mudder, probably ED, and HMC's for me because I'd love to have peers that I could talk to about all the stuff I go out and do on my own. Maybe that sounds stuck up, but realistically, there's one senior who's as crazy as I am about math and such, and once he's gone, its gonna be a long year of solitude. I do all the other honors stuff, and can talk w/ my friends about history, politics w/e, but when no one really understands your real passion, yeah. Yay for college!</p>
