<p>Does anyone know what the difference between Caltech and Harvey Mudd would be in terms of Math and CS? I’m very interested in both, and I cannot imagine lots of expensive equipment would help with them. What is the difference in research opportunities between the two in those fields? </p>
<p>Also, I’ve heard that collaboration is emphasized at both places. How do they compare in that? </p>
<p>I’ve been admitted to both and want to make an educated decision. I know teaching is not considered as good at Caltech, but how is it, really? I can become a bit unmotivated if I have an awful teacher… On the other hand, I don’t know if having a TA would even be an awful thing. At a math summer camp I went to, my favorite teachers were grad students, but the pool of teachers there is rather self-selecting.</p>
