Not many students are involved in athletics. Mudd has a large social budget for the great parties we throw. Also we have a activities club that will subsidize basically anything you want to do/go to(like movies, skiing, sporting events) as long as 8+ people sign up.
Students leave their dorms open and hang out in lounges. If I'm awake at 2:00 AM on a tuesday, I'm either studying or playing video games in the dorm lounge. There are parties sponsored by various dorms; there are no fraternities/sororities.
There is a great balance between work and play at Mudd. All of the mudd parties are well themed and thrown with a lot of energy. Most of the student body is social and will attend events such as athletic events and theater.
Two Harvey Mudd students take the challenge to "build something cool" and get a prize from CA.
Students leave their doors open if the weather is nice.
