Harvey Mudd’s core could be considered restrictive in that it is comprised of a lot of classes, which reduces the number of “extra” classes you can take considering you have major and humanities requirements as well. Whether it prevents you from taking any classes you want however, depends on what kind of classes they are and how many. If the classes you want are hums, braden described how the humanities requirements work, and I’m sure you can fit a lot of classes you want within them. If they are engineering classes, the major requires at least 3 electives so you can choose what you want there. “Extra” classes, those that satisfy no requirements but provide the units needed to graduate, have been limited to just one class for engineers, but with the new core should be 2-3 classes. You can also overload and take extra classes, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
