LIVING ON CAMPUS Residence Life Colorado School of Mines offers eight different residence hall options: Weaver Towers, the four Traditional Halls (Morgan, Thomas, Bradford and Randall), Maple Hall, Elm Hall and opening in 2020, Spruce Hall. Each is staffed with Resident Advisors (upper-class students who will be mentors and guides while your student lives on campus), Community Directors (experienced RAs, who offer additional support) and professional Residence Life Coordinators who help build a positive, academically focused and socially supportive community for residence hall students. First-year students are required to live on campus within the Mines residence halls to ensure a smooth transition into college and provide each student with a structured support network. After a student’s first year, they have the option to apply to our upper-class housing options. Students entering their second year have the option of living with their friends in Maple Hall, a suite-style building, and in 1750 Jackson, an apartment building where students live in suites of primarily 4-people. We will also have limited space at Mines Park apartments on campus for sophomores. Both Maple Hall and 1750 Jackson have programming specifically designed for students in their second year.
