<p>I suppose I'm looking to do a combination of mathematics and economics, (maths and engineering at Mudd)
The full college experience, the options of parties, plays and panoramic views.</p>
<p>questionably illicit drugs and cheap comfortable rugs
While of course, getting a fabulous education that blows my mind and inflames my senses.</p>
<p>Well academically, I would say Harvey Mudd and UChicago are slightly stronger overall in those areas. That being said, Penn still has good math and econ departments.</p>
<p>As far as the social side, Penn is much more party-oriented than either of the other two. Lots of people go out a lot, plenty of plays and musical events etc.</p>
<p>When you’re at a grad school program you can debate whether a department’s marginal strength matters. For undergrad, go with the better fit for life (and yes, that’s Penn…by a long shot)</p>
