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 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 suitestyle 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. For more information on the Department of Residence Life, please visit: mines.edu/residence-life.
Mines Dining We know a student’s life can be hectic, and sometimes meals take a backseat to classes, homework, clubs, sports, meetings…the list goes on. With convenient locations on campus and flexible dining hours, Mines Dining is here to make sure that students get delicious, nutritious food when and where they want it! All students living in the Residence Halls are required to purchase a Residential Meal Plan. Students living off campus, in Greek Housing, 1750 Jackson or at Mines Park, may purchase a Commuter Meal Plan. Special dietary requests can be accommodated for students with food allergies or religious or medical dietary needs. Students simply use their BlasterCard (campus ID card) to access their dining plans. To purchase a meal plan, signup through the Housing Portal on Trailhead.
