LIVING ON CAMPUS Residence Life Colorado School of Mines offers eight 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 (RAs), who are upper-level students who will be mentors and guides while your student lives on campus; Community Directors (CDs), experienced RAs who offer additional support in the halls; and professional Residence Life Coordinators (RLCs) who help build a positive, academically focused, and socially supportive community for our students. We are professional educators who design our residential curriculum to meet the needs of our developing students to support their learning in and outside of the classroom. One of our signature programs is the Theme Learning Community (TLC) program. First-year students may opt to apply to live on one of the TLC floors, where they will live with other students who share an interest or identity with them. Some of our TLCs include honors communities, a community for First-Generation students, Visual and Performing Arts, and many more.
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-level housing options. Students entering their second year have the option of applying for our second-year Themed Learning Community on Environmental Justice housed in Maple Hall, and in 1750 Jackson, an apartment building where students live in suites of primarily four people. Both Maple Hall and 1750 Jackson have programming specifically designed for students in their second year.
