[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Academics in STEM will know Harvey Mudd well. It sounds like some PPs are reigniting the debate DCUM so often seems to fall into re. name recognition among lay people and other factors pretty distant from the academic environment.

That said, I agree there are pros and cons to both. You've made a good list, OP. What is your DC thinking?[/quote]

W[b]e can finance Columbia. Daughter definitely prefers the vibe at Mudd, but is afraid about what could happen if she decides she doesn't want to do STEM[/b]. All her friends/family are puzzling over Mudd as well, so while she knows Mudd has good tech outcomes, what happens if she didn't want to do that?

Mudd seems like a riskier option, basically. [/quote]

Well that's easy - Pomona, Scripps, Pitzer, Claremont.   Take classes or enroll there.  One of my friend's DDs who could not get into Clarement enrolled at Scripps at takes classes on the other campuses.[/quote]

Yo[b]u can cross register within the 5c. But OP's concern is what happens if the student doesn't want a STEM major?  You still need a major at Harvey?[/quote][/b]

[b]why you guys can't google is beyond me.[/b]  YES - big political science, etc, opportunities and major at Mudd AND at the other colleges.  Or she can just apply to one of the others for a transfer to that college if she chooses.  https://www.hmc.edu/hsa/[/quote]

B[b]ecause it's OP's child, s/he needs to verify info through Mudd.  I wouldn't make college decision by just by googling.  Googled info should be verified through the college. [/quote][/b]

No, my complaint is with the PP who just dashes off "but op's concern is what happens if the student doesn't want a STEM major" You still need a major at Harvey" without bothering to even google the most basic fact. Anyone who knows anything about the Claremont Colleges knows that you can major in whatever you want in each college, so that if STEM doesn't work out, they can still be a political science major at Mudd or apply to transfer to one of the other colleges there. OR, just take political science courses in the other colleges.  That's the beauty of the Claremont colleges.  Why bother to post something so stupid without checking first?  And then PP's response is "Because it's OP's child s/he needs to very info through Mudd".  Oh, that's very helpful.  Of course they should.  My initial point was why make a stupid observation which either the reader should have known had they read all the posts or take three seconds to google.  Or not post at all if you are just a stupid person. And then don't try to make it justifiable by putting the blame on the OP parent.  I think some people post here just because it somehow makes them feel good about themselves - as if they can contribute or are knowledgeable - but most aren't and don't add anything to the discussion.[/quote]
