Thanks rickmanfan, that information does help! My son is going to the admitted students thing on the 18th and so will try to talk to some of the physics professors then, and maybe even sit in on a class, so that should give him more information about the physics program.

manarius thanks also! We were aware of HMC’s required humanities classes, which is one reason my son applied there. I think he is worried about the quality of the 6 humanities classes he would have to take at Mudd, with students who might not be particularly interested in the topics (I don’t know whether that’s true or not, its just his concern). Also, the options for changing majors are more limited … Pomona just seems like it might be a better fit for him.
