Talk about HMC

Calling all NUSHS students! I will be giving a talk on Harvey Mudd College, the small tech school that I attend, on 13 Jan 2010.

Here's an outline of my talk:

- Intro to Liberal arts colleges (LACs) and their general characteristics

- How HMC is different from other LACs

>> HMC as a tech school

- How HMC is awesome

>> 5C consortium and breadth of courses

- My personal experiences, including funding and financial aid

I'm sure it will be interesting for those considering studying in the US, especially if you're looking at LACs. Even if you are not sure of your plans yet, just come to learn more. I'm trying to invite a special guest to come~

Please let Mr. Allan know if you're interested in coming. Tentatively, it will be at the college counseling office at 5:30pm, Wednesday 13 January.
