South Dakota School of Mines & Technology

This museum is awesome! It takes up the 3rd floor of an academic building but is well-labeled with visitor parking out front. The exhibits are very well labeled and organized, with one area containing rocks/minerals and the other area containing fossils. I appreciated the old-school feel of the museum, with the displays being more informative than flashy. They have a great variety of fossils, with some common and some rare (but all exciting). The best part, the museum is free (but appreciates donations). Well worth the stop, looking forward to visiting again someday!

It took me 5 years and a degree change to graduate. The classes were ridiculously difficult. But I wouldn't change anything about it. It was the best 5 years of my life and I recieved a first class education. Professors were great and administration was excellent, especially the dean of students, Pat Mahon.

Small classes and wonderful professors who care about you!

The classes are crazy hard and you need to study a lot to pass them. This isn't the problem. The problem is that no one seems to care about us, the students. I asked for help in classes just to get as good a grade as possible and professors were no help to me. When I was switching majors, I called the registrar's office and they had no clue what to do. When I called the department head, he and his assistant bounced me back and forth to each other, and, very effectively, wasted my time. Honestly, the only people that ever helped me at this school was financial aid. Sure you can go to this school, but you had better go in hoping you don't need to talk to staff about anything.

I took an environmental geology field course here (2015). I learned more in three weeks than in college.
