<p>We are going to take a little vacation in California over Christmas break and our HS Sophomore S wants to tour Harvey Mudd in that time. We can only be in Claremont that first week in January and, though I know they have tours and we signed up for one, I was wondering whether there would be many students around, given that the second semester does not commence until January 17.</p>
<p>I don’t think there will be many kids around. The residence halls will be closed. It is still worth going, particularly to get a feel for the town and the interlocking campuses.</p>
<p>nemom, thanks for the input, even though it was disappointing. Maybe we will be able to come again sometime when there are students around. At least this time we will surely be able to come and take a tour, as my office will be closed for the holidays. Last June we had planned to visit Claremont but something came up at work.</p>
