Harvey Mudd in Princeton Review鈥檚 382 Best Colleges

无忧视频 was named one of the country鈥檚 top undergraduate institutions in The Princeton Review鈥檚 2018 college guide,聽The Best 382 Colleges.

The Princeton Review chooses which colleges to include based on their outstanding educational programs, but does not rank the colleges academically. Instead, the guide ranks the top 20 colleges in 62 different categories from financial aid to campus food. The top 20 lists are based on The Princeton Review鈥檚 survey of 137,000 students attending the 382 colleges.

Harvey Mudd ranked No. 1 in the category 鈥淪tudents Study the Most,鈥� No. 5 for 鈥淏est Science Lab Facilities,鈥� No. 9 for 鈥淢ost Accessible Professors,鈥� No. 12 for 鈥淭here鈥檚 a Game?,鈥� No. 13 for 鈥淟GBTQ-Friendly鈥� and No. 16 for 鈥淧rofessors Get High Marks.鈥�

In the Princeton Review profile, students surveyed praised Harvey Mudd professors for being both brilliant and accessible. 鈥淢ost of them know my name and will stop to talk any time,鈥� a student reported. 鈥淟ectures and office hours are amazing! Professors really want you to understand the material.鈥�

Students described themselves as 鈥渙utgoing, quirky and fun but very studious,鈥� with a 鈥渂rimming passion for science and a love of knowledge for its own sake.鈥� Students stated that while the academics at Harvey Mudd are rigorous, they felt strong support from professors and the student body in a collaborative atmosphere. A survey respondent wrote, 鈥淭he academic experience is heightened by the students鈥�who act cooperatively rather than competitively to conquer the material rather than each other.鈥�

Students also wrote that they valued the student-led Honor Code, which calls for integrity both inside and outside the classroom. 鈥淭he trust the faculty has for the students gives us a sense of responsibility, and thus everyone lives up to expectations,鈥� a survey respondent wrote.

The profile described Harvey Mudd as an excellent program in the sciences and engineering with strong undergraduate research opportunities and a very high percentage of students who go to graduate school. Among the student comments were that Harvey Mudd offers 鈥渁 personalized education that you can鈥檛 get at a larger technical university.鈥�

“We picked the 382 ‘best’ colleges for our book primarily for their outstanding academics: we highly recommend each one,” said Robert Franek, The Princeton Review’s Editor-in-Chief and the book’s lead author. “However, we know applicants need far more than an academic rating or ranking to find the college that will be best for them. We created our 62 ranking lists to help narrow that search. They are based entirely on data we gather beyond academics that gives insight into what the schools’ enrolled students say about their professors, administrators, school services, campus culture and student life. In the end, it’s all about the fit.”
