Hostel:

I loved on campus freshman year as all students are required to live in the dorms their first year and now live at home to save the rent money. Golden is small so finding housing can be expensive and I live about 30 minutes from campus.

I was living in Florida and got a mailer from school. My family was in the process of moving to Colorado so I looked at Mines and the other large Colorado schools and really fell in love with the small size and feel of the campus. Everyone is friendly, and the coursework is rigorous. Many companies know Mines by name and seek out interns that are from our school which has been awesome in finding job opportunities!
