<p>For personal attention, I don’t think you can beat Harvey Mudd. On our tour of the campus, a couple of the professors stopped to chat including a physics prof who sat down with us to talk about why HE loves working at HM and why he thinks its a great place to learn. And the dean of admissions popped out his office to say hello-that didn’t happen at any of the other schools we visited. (The counterpoint of course, is the the two student guides were both sweet, but very nerdy-not nearly as slick as the guides elsewhere.)</p>
<p>Does this one data point really mean anything important? Maybe not, but it sure made an impression. (Great weather too!)</p>
