I transferred in to this school and was expecting a challenge, but I got more than that! This school is tough. I was used to getting straight A's / A+'s at my other college and it's not the case here. You actually have to study and you basically never have free time. That's not to say you can't find time to hang out with friends or go skiing, you just have to balance your schedule. You definitely can't slack off here.

A lot of kids complain about there being nothing to do but I don't think that's true at all. You just have to get out there and find kids who like doing stuff, not just sit in their room and study or play video games. Denver is 10 minutes away and Golden and the surrounding mountains offer endless outdoor activities. One thing that everyone will notice when they come here is the lack of girls. The ratio is evening out, but it is noticeable.

I would never choose a different school than the School of Mines. I love it here, I'm actually being challenged and going to this school basically guarantees you a job or placement in graduate school.
