<p>From what I’ve seen, generally hum classes do not take up 30% of one’s time (Or any of your time, if you’re taking one at Pitzer 
). In general, classes at Mudd are a lot harder and work intensive than most hums on the other 5C’s, so the hum requirement doesn’t seem nearly so bad. </p>
<p>Though sometimes the hum requirement can be obnoxious, especially since it restricts one to taking certain types (I would like to take only arts, literature and languages, but due to the requirements I can’t), I think most people find it to be worth it overall.</p>
