Interesting. I would recommend Harvey Mudd as a place that’s usually quite accepting of various quirks and personalities. I’m an INFP, and I go to Scripps. I’ve never really felt out of place here but I understand that Harvey Mudd has a rather different environment. I’m a bit biased, but the Mudders I know seem to be content and engaged despite the quiet intensity of the curriculum.

Of course, the engineering track at Mudd is extremely challenging and you get little freedom to take courses outside of your major, so depends on your priorities I suppose. I know I came into college intending to double major and then realizing that my interests are far too diverse to encompass into two areas of study. It does seem like a specific type of student tends to fit in at Mudd, but it’s definitely something to consider. Your schools seem extremely different - so maybe you need to consider the different factors that you look for in a college and narrow it down from there.
