Hello orediggers I’m wondering about the difficulty of the challenge exam for csci128 class. I registered for csci128 challenge exam because I’ve taken python, AP computer science (didn’t take the exam bc I was out of town) and computer science principles before but mines didn’t accept the credit for any of them 💔 how hard should I study for this exam?

Is there a specific calculator a freshman MEchE major should have? Any other must have supplies (besides a laptop, notebooks, pens/pencils)?

Do the RAs check your room without your permission? If they ask to check your room, do you have to say yes?
I’ll be in Maple if that is of any relevance

Looking for a bank I can walk to easily in Golden or an online bank recommended for college kids.

Current mines academy student planning to transfer in Fall 2027. I was hoping to take MEGN 200/201 in Summer 2027. However, I asked Mines admissions about taking MEGN 200/201 in Summer 2027 (before an official fall start) to stay on track with prerequisites to prevent 5+ semesters, and they told me no. I was hoping to see if any other community college MechE transfer students had the same experience, or if there is a workaround/other solution. Thanks in advance.

Hi y'all, I'm an EE student and I've been looking all over campus for transistors for a project but I can't find any. Anyone know where I should look? I've already tried the EE lab in Brown and Labriola.

Hi everyone I am a new transfer student studying Civil Engineering who didn’t realize the rigor of Mines.

I recently finished summer classes here a few weeks ago, specifically, for PHGN 100 and CEEN 241. However, I can’t help to realize I passed these courses out of pure guessing on the exams. Heck I still have no idea what a moment really is or machinery stuff are. I know these courses were supposed to go hand to hand, but I learned absolutely nothing out of it. Not even better studying skills. Unfortunately I’m not the only student.

What can I do before I end up passing all my other classes by sheer will of guessing?

Thank you

I recently discovered if you fail a class twice at Mines you are no longer eligible to transfer that type of class back into Mines.

Anybody know why?

I am a going into my senior year and polishing my college lists right now. I am out of state and
wondering if anyone in a similar situation to me could say what they got in terms of merit scholarship.

4.0 UW
4.7 W
35 ACT

National level quiz bowl
State level science Olympiad

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi folks,

I (21M) recently graduated with my A.S. in MechE and am soon to start my first semester at Mines this fall.

It feels like a fairly big change given that I lived in NYC all my life ( and did my A.S. in the city). I am pretty hyped to start classes (major is MechE btw), but definitely still trying to cautions and prepared. I was wondering if there are any current or past students that could give me some basic dos and don'ts for new students at mines?

I've heard it is a hard school with a high academic ceiling, so perhaps some basic advice on navigating some of the academic nuances of mines would be helpful--especially regarding core physics and math concepts I should refresh myself on before classes officially start.

Also, I'm just looking for folks to shoot the shit and socialize with. I am a fairly introverted dude by nature and my community college didn't help because it was a commuter school, so I'm trying to make up for that and put myself out there.

A bit about me: I like playing PC games (right now a lot of street fighter 6 with my boi ken), messing around with 3D printing, designing in CAD (though I am still ass), reading (LOTR as of recent), doing personal engineering projects and want to get more into hiking and outdoor activities.

Thanks for taking a read. Drop a comment or feel free to DM me.

Is there any affordable parking or spots with cover that don’t get tickets for parking a motorcycle in that anyone has found and used?

Are any transfers doing boost/ have any done boost? im curious but cynical. IDK if i want to have to drive up to golden every day for a week

I am about to be a second year mechanical engineering student, and I'm still not clear on how the process of field sessions works for mechies. Do you get interviewed to get into one? Are they guaranteed or is there a chance I won't get into a field session? Do you have to do them or not? Do you get numerically graded on them or is it a pass/fail?

Anyone know the dates for the QBE field session? I’m trying to plan a trip next summer and I don’t want to accidentally schedule something during the class.

Hi everyone

I’m currently dual enrolling at a Community College this summer semester. However, I quickly realized taking 14 point hours was a bad idea. If it helps I was admitted this year.

I have no choice but to fail a few classes because they are a time sink and are difficult.

How would failing a few classes affect me at Mines and should I be worried about anything?

Mines is well known as a strong engineering school, but how is it for CS? I'm currently undecided between engineering and CS. How is the CS program if interested in AI/ML? How are Mines CS grads doing in terms of recruiting / job placement? Is it possible to double major in an engineering field and CS? Thanks!

pretty sure everyone here has that one course that made them question every decision leading up to it. mine rearranged my whole sleep schedule and my personality. which one got you and did you make it out okay

I'm not sure what is happening.
