<p>I attended last year with my daughter. There are many events for both the student and the parent and “yes” most students stay overnight in a dorm. I, like many parents left about midway through the first day as you really want to have your student get a feel of living there on their own. (Although there are split activities for parents/students) The next morning after breakfast my daughter was ready to leave and she really felt that she had a very good idea of the campus life and the things Mudd had to offer.</p>
