Most Helpful Review for Colorado School of Mines

  • Review by: Krista from Colorado Springs, CO
  • 17 out of 18 people found this review helpful

For the first year at the Colorado School of Mines, the majority of the required classes are classes that many honor students have already taken in high school. The classes include calculus 1, chemistry 1 and 2, and physics 1. Granted, these classes are much more difficult in college than they were in high school.

  • Mar-28-2013 I am accepted here and planning to attend soon

    I have visited this school many times. Two of the times have been workshops for women entering engineering and sciences and they have both been great times. I always feel welcome and like I already belong even though I am just a senior.

    Colorado School of Mines is in a beautiful pocket on the west side of Denver, so it doesn't feel like you're living in the main part of Denver, but you still have the commodities of a city within reach provided you have a vehicle or the time to take the bus. All the students are nerds by definition, and you work super hard to graduate within a reasonable time. When you're not studying or thinking about the money you're going to make after graduating, there's plenty of other activities to try out and explore like hiking, caving, intramurals, concerts, and all sorts of clubs.

    As an engineering school CSM measures up to the current standards of learning that I was looking for in a school, the instructors want to help students pass. CSM has many opportunities to get involved from Friday night movies to a variety of sporting events. Colorado School of Mines is the kind of school for those dedicated to furthering their education.

    The Colorado School of Mines is a wonderful campus located in scenic Golden, Colorado. The faculty is very helpful and is easy to get to know on a one on one basis. The students here are also very helpful since everyone takes the same classes for the first year so its always easy to find someone to help you out when you need it.

    Colorado School of Mines is a place for rigorous study. Do not attend if you don't actually know what you want to do. Do not attend because you want to make money and party every weekend.

    Extremely difficult school with more homework than most students can handle. If you cruised through high school you will still need to work extremely hard here. The size of the campus is an enormous advantage.

    A school with above all else a great reputation in industry. The coursework is difficult and may not be fore everyone, but most everyone who has made it through are glad they did. Bottom line: choose Mines if you are interested in getting a job after you graduate.
