<p>So basically, the core classes take up most of your first three semesters at Mudd. I’d say you get one or two electives per semester. (And we take more than four classes per semester at Mudd!)</p>
<p>In terms of time, I’d say it’s more realistic to put a priority on two of the set of sleep, schoolwork, and a social life. I think adequate sleep is very important, so I always make time for it. I get to hang out with friends, mostly at meals and while doing homework and on weekend nights. Some people at Mudd party a lot. Generally we don’t party as much as the students at the other Claremont Colleges, but I’m just fine with that. There is time for extracurriculars, but don’t expect to have as much time as you did in high school. Sports are not very popular at Mudd, and we don’t have as many student athletes as the other schools. Also, Mudders don’t usually go see a football or basketball game as a social event. We have a stronger culture for intramural sports like innertube water polo though.</p>
