Discussion When will your decisions come in?

26 Upvotes

Whenever the school decides they do.

Feel free to post and ask questions! Other students and applicants may be able to share their own experiences and give you an idea! But at the end of the day, the fact of the matter is that it always varies and you shouldn't expect a concrete answer from the community.

Don't expect to get yours on X date because somebody else who applied at the same time did. And don't give up if it doesn't come in when you'd expect based off what other people said!

Good luck!

Mines Life Hungry Orediggers Discord launched!

29 Upvotes

I took the initiative after reading this post to create a Discord server to (perhaps) phase out the overcrowded and outdated GroupMe! If you're interested in joining, it's on the Mines student hub or you can join with this invite!!!

Here's some cool features this server has that the GroupMe could never:

  1. You can chat in addition to food pings!! You won't get banned for expressing gratitude like poor Sofia the other day who said "God bless. Mines breakfast this morning was so bad."
  2. You can post your favorite recipes and gourmet dishes in Chef's Corner! We're all Hungry Orediggers, meaning some of us can cook to satisfy ourselves.

Have fun food hunting! u/Ore-igger I hope this satisfies you.

Selling/Buying/Roommates Room available in queer household by Colorado Mills! (December move-in)

9 Upvotes

Hey! Our current roommates got married and are moving out together, so we've suddenly got room available! If you're looking for a spot about a twelve minute drive from campus that doesn't cost too much, this is it!

The house: Nice house, post-war construction but renovated! Two living rooms (both with TVs, one with large table), good kitchen with gas stove, breakfast nook, large yard with firepit, project space with 3D printers, gigabit internet, central AC and heat. Your room will have plenty of windows, a walk-in closet, and a full bathroom right next to it! I'm happy to answer any questions about the place!

The people: Myself and my partner live in the loft. We both went to Mines for computer science and have been out for a couple years. We like videogames, board games, TTRPGs, and general scifi and fantasy stuff. We will also have one other roommate with similar interests who just graduated. You don't have to share interests with us of course, but it's always a plus! You'll be welcome to participate in household activities, but never pressured to. We don't mind a good party as long as long as the cops and the landlord don't get called lol

The requirements:

Keep the house clean (clean up after yourself, don't leave trash everywhere, etc)

Be normal about queer people

Be normal about disabilities

Be normal about jews

Pay rent on time (750 + share of utilities)

Don't burn the house down

Discussion Apartment Recommendations?

5 Upvotes

Currently, I'm applying for the graduate program and I'm looking for studio/1-bedroom apartments to move into (potentially with my boyfriend but not guaranteed) around the Golden/Lakewood area. I'm from out of state and hoping to get the thesis-track (which would be a 38k stipend a year, just over 3k a month), so I don't know the area well and have a pretty tight budget all things considered.

I've heard good things about Kallisto and Silver Reef, and don't know if anything under the 1.4-1.6k range is all that great by Colorado standards. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions?

Classes Linear Algebra Computational or Proof Based?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone. Currently deciding on whether or not to take Linear Algebra next semester, but I now realize that I have no idea if the course is computational or proof based.

I already somewhat have a hard hitting semester, so if it is proof based, I'd rather take it over the summer either at Mines or through Red Rocks.

Any information about the course would be extremely helpful. Especially regarding the basis of the course and whether or not it is recommended to take it either at Mines or transfer from RRCC. For context I am a Mech.E with an Aerospace minor and need the course as a prerequisite for the M.S. program I plan on taking.

Thank you all

Majors Minoring in Applied Math

3 Upvotes

I'm a freshman majoring in Electrical Engineering, and I planned to minor in Computer Science. However, I've realized that I enjoy math more than coding, so I'm wondering if minoring in Applied Mathematics would be a possibility. I've already completed all the calculus courses and am currently taking Differential Equations. I would also like to know how hard is Applied Math since I haven't seen a post about it on Reddit. Thanks y'all!

It's alr cheap but I messaged them and they gave me a 10off code for being a college student hmu if you wanna run or join me in the race or if you know of an existing group

Classes Why can't more classes be like Solid Mechanics?

5 Upvotes

I love learning outcomes so far in the course. I think testing students over and over again is a good way to measure understanding, especially in Engineering courses.

This is so much better than what those dumb statics professor does to test students. I heard Mechanics of Materials does one and done exam too. I don't think that gets people to realize their mistakes too well. This is such a unique way of learning and takes away the pressure of failing.

EENG386A I was given an equations sheet but that's pretty much it. Is this the equation sheet we will be provided on the test? Are we allowed to bring our own? Should I memorize this equation sheet? 50 minutes for an exam in a class where the homework takes me 5+ hours so I'm pretty scared.

0 Upvotes

I did not expect almost everyone to get 60s and 50s. Jeff Holley really let everyone down. The exam was a lot harder than the home-works I felt like and I somehow did enough to pass the exam (80). Almost like if you wrote the exam nothing like the hw and give us not enough time everyone will fail.

Majors Design Engineering?

6 Upvotes

How is Design Engineering for someone who does not want to do "core" engineering like Mech E, Electrical etc? Thoroughly not interested in Computer Science. Is this a course to get a good Engineering base and build entrepreneurial skills?

A lot of "Desgin Engineering" specific posts here are a few years old. Just wanted to see how this branch has evolved over the years and the current state.

Thanks.

0 Upvotes

I thumbs down reacted a guy who was spamming one time, and they immediately permanently banned me from the chat with no warning and are requiring me to donate $10 to blasters basket to get back in.

I dont mind the idea of requiring someone to donate to charity to get reinstated, but they never even warned me and requiring it to be on behalf of hungry ordiggers seems a little much. I also didnt even do anything warranting a permaban no matter how you look at it.

I only ever used the gc to find free energy drinks anyway so idrc if i get reinstated, but im still kinda salty about what i was banned over.

To reiderate: i thumbs down reacted a singular message and they permabanned me. that was the only way ive ever interacted with the chat other then viewing messages.

If you're into building games or robotics, there's a reason to swing by beyond the games too. Farclip's built right here on campus, you can test it out, grab a free account, and talk to the team building it. Everyone who tries it is entered for prizes, including a Meta Quest 3.

Food and drinks are provided, but spots are limited, so reserve one in advance, walk-ins aren't guaranteed a spot.

Discussion Path to success??

6 Upvotes

Hey all,

I just graduated high school this morning at 12:30, and I've been wanting to pursue a bachelors in EE. I need a bit of help figuring out an ideal path.

I am actively training full-time halfpipe snowboarding, so I'd prefer if school didn't get in the way significantly. Apparently, many community colleges in Colorado offer transfer paths to Mines after completing required online courses (Calc, Physics, etc.)

I'm curious if anyone has gone down this path and if it's really as grand as it sounds. At the most, it'd give me 2 years of headroom before I fully commit to college life.

Obviously, I understand the sacrifices. I can't expect to do school for an hour a day online then go snowboard. I'm looking for something that works together with my current schedule, while still getting me an awesome degree. I appreciate any help🙏

Mines Life Escaping roommate

So my roommate talks a lot and is noisy/messy—makes it hard to study/sleep. I’ve mentioned it, but I don’t think they are even capable of being self-aware. Wondering if older students have hideouts they recommend for catching a nap/studying so I can spend less time in the room. Is it possible to even change roommates mid-year or move to a single?

Idk maybe it's the job market, but Career fair did not go well if you are these majors. Not if you have almost nothing on your resume...

I have a friend who's a Senior and have a stacked resume. They didn't get anything either. I don't think I will be able to compete.
