<p>ok if anyone actually pays attention to the HMC forum....</p>
<p>Women at Mudd, how bad is the boy scene really? I go to an all-girls school, so it might or might not be a big different (if the guys are cool, a difference; if they are really nerd, then so are all the girls at my school, same with pretty much all girls' schools lol).</p>
<p>I wouldn't mind being surrounded by <em>moderatley</em> nerdy boys, but is it unbearably bad???</p>
<p>Absolutely not. The guys at Mudd are really awesome (for the most part). There are a few who fit the bill of the typical nerd, but I'm sure that's true of every college. Our guys are maybe a bit more nerdy than most, but that's to be expected from a school with an average SAT score in the high 1400's. Mostly it just manifests itself as more attention to schoolwork and higher level of intelligence; there's less of the anti-social, fail to wash themselves, and lack of attention to appearance traits that the "typcial" nerd has.</p>
<p>Do kids at Mudd have interest in intellectual areas outside of science? Do they discuss literature, philosophy, politics, art?</p>
<p>Yes. Many of my friends are rather outspoken about politics, my suitemate is fascinated with philosophy, and many of us really enjoy good literature. I haven't witnessed any discussions about art, but there are definitely mudders who have a passion for it. I can't say for certain that ALL mudders have broad interests, but I would say that a good majority, at least, do. (Oh, and the interests are certainly not limited to those four.)</p>
