Colorado School of Mines — student housing nearby (2026)

Really great University with great researchers and a wonderful culture of learning and attitudes. - petroleum engineering has one of the nicest buildings.

Professors are usually great, but the administration is really juicing extra out of you for each semester. They charge you fees to be in clubs, but the clubs don't get very much (if any) of that money. They charge $600 for the rec center, but many of the machines are broken for weeks, and it's usual

Our kids were thrilled to see the massive amounts of gems and minerals in this place. It is extensive and fun to look at. When you think you’re done, there’s a downstairs as well. Just park close - or enjoy walking through the entire campus… which we’d also fun too!

As visitor prospective, this campus seems small and limited spaces but views are beautiful, designed areas are not easy to find and understand, campus polices seem aggressive in patrol which could be better safety or too many issues around campus
