My sophomore Mudd student just got a truly amazing internship in NYC, in his field, with a pay rate higher than mine. He turned down a funded research position to take the internship. He has also interviewed (not just sent a resume) with Google. Bill Gates has visited Mudd a few times and the president of HMC is on the board of directors at Microsoft.

Mudd has a Clinic program where the seniors in most majors do a funded project for a real company. This page [Clinic - Harvey Mudd College](http://newwww.hmc.edu/clinic/history-sponsors.php#) has links on the right which, when you expand them, show a list of sponsor companies for those projects.

Mudd may not be as well known as CMU to the general public, but does the general public who knows of CMU even know what it’s good at? Mudd is known where it needs to be. And if you end up at a place that hasn’t heard of Mudd, then you still have a great education! :)
