<p>Warrior, here’s my clarification - </p>
<ul>
<li><p>“uniform difficulty” refers to how many “easier” majors and paths someone can take. At Mudd, everyone has to go through a tough core, and practically everyone is doing hard math/science/engineering.</p></li>
<li><p>“specific kind of student” refers to the fact that you have to be OK with that kind of education. E.g. Mudd is probably concentrated with talent in technical fields, and likely has some unique student culture to go with the small, specific kind of student body. Go to a large school, and there’s more of the “something for everyone” sort of thing happening.</p></li>
