Residence Life
Learning through Living at Mines
We believe living on campus fosters student learning, development, and personal growth.
We show dedication to our students by creating experiences and physical spaces that recognize the unique challenges and opportunities of being an Oredigger at Colorado School of Mines.
Academically Focused
We are committed to providing intentional learning by facilitating a safe and academically focused environment.
We challenge and encourage students to be critical thinkers and civically-engaged leaders in a diverse global community.
