Tufts engineering vs. Harvey Mudd

Tufts isn’t really known for STEM. I would pick Mudd.

DS#1 visited Mudd and Tufts back when he was applying. For engineering, if you have the grit, and don’t mind ugly dorms, Mudd will give you better opportunities (internships, interfacing with CA companies on projects, ability to take classes at the other Claremont colleges , etc). For an overall college experience Tufts might be more “fun”. He was less impressed by the Tufts engineering. But FWIW, he applied to neither.

Curious what criteria tufts didn’t meet for your son?
