Maybe I'm just dense, but I don't even understand the point of this thread.
Then you don't have to post in it.

No A.E., interesteddad's post was very insightful. It's just knowing what kind of college you want to go to, not which one is 'better'.

Wow, really? Guess what, that wasn't the OP's question. We have to assume he's not a total idiot and has actually thought about that, and is aware of the myriad differences between the schools. We have no information about him to go on to give him any meaningful input about how he would fit in at each of the campuses. He just wants to know which school has the capacity to provide the best education in the sciences. So, I have to disagree with you and say that it wasn't very insightful.

(note: i havent been reading all the prior post, there seems to be a flame war of sorts starting...)

you seem to be set on majoring in a science, but want to do more then cram science classes in all four years. understandable. i dont know muc about haverford, so i cant say anything about it.

my 2cents: harvey mudd. the philosophy behind mudd is that they dont want to make you a science only person, they want you to do more then just that. from my understanding, the whole point of mudd being a part of the claremont colleges is so that mudd could focus on offering the best in sciences. if/when students were more interested in music, econ, philosophy, etc they would go to one of the 4 other claremont colleges.

just realized:its after may 1st, so i cant really help out. oops
