<p>My son is a junior, engineering major, and is doing well. But it truly is a big adjustment. You can’t possibly expect the grades you were used to getting in high school. But that is no reason to bash Mudd - “don’t wish it were easier; do what it takes to make yourself better.” When I have asked him about the kids that aren’t thriving academically, he says “if you don’t take advantage of the help sessions, forget it” AND “some kids just don’t know how to stop the party.” He has found the profs and deans to be more than helpful. One even personally drove him to an opthomalogist when he had eye trouble, and helped him get his meds.</p>
