Survey by Mira Kaniyur, graphics by Diya Gangwar

Hi Mudders! We surveyed this year’s frosh on their day-to-day lives, and we’re here to introduce you to (most of*) the Class of 2026!

Favorite Dining Hall (excluding the Hoch)

Frosh are making good use of the return of 5C dining — and they have clear favorites amongst the lot. Besides the Hoch, frosh favorites are Pitzer and Malott, likely thanks to a combination of their proximity and quality. We at The Muddraker (read: me, the author of the article) would also like to personally protest Malott’s win over Pitzer — clearly a statistical error since all the Pitzer enjoyers were too busy eating good food to fill out the survey. We were also surprised that there’s a frosh who has never gone to the Hoch!

Most popular Room Decor

We frosh enjoy our flora and (fake) (fluffy) fauna. Stuffed animals and plants were by far the most common choices for room decor.

Odd Things Packed

We also asked frosh what they brought to Mudd that they thought nobody else did. That list included the following paraphernalia:
