<p>Mudd students/grads - Was Claremont Colleges a big factor when choosing Mudd, or just an extra perk? Did your opinion change once you were on campus? </p>
<p>When comparing Mudd to CO School of Mines (and other similar small techie schools) , I know that academic intensity is a plus for Mudd (at least for students that want that). I’m trying to guage the importance of other factors too.</p>
