Taking classes at Red Rocks Community College not only prepared me for Colorado School of Mines but also helped me determine what degree path was best for me. The instructors at RRCC were tremendously helpful in providing a smooth transition to Mines. Through the Engineering Club and the IDEA Lab, I was able to gain engineering experience and develop problem-solving skills, as well as find an encouraging community with others also on the pathway to Mines.

Red Rocks Community College offered me an affordable, sensible approach to college. With being able to seamlessly transfer to Colorado School of Mines after completing my core undergraduate classes, I was well prepared academically to hit the ground running when I transferred after my second year. Forming lifelong friendships in smaller classes allowed me to be more confident moving forward, and feel more prepared when embarking on a larger campus.
