Two years ago when my son applied it was very transparent. Tuition was $36K or $38K and the max was $16K which he got and we knew we’d get.
Now it’s more generic (no #s listed) but looks like $10-14K. It’s a great school, cute little down and you can take public transport to the airport. We loved our visit - but I noticed some of the rate my professors aren’t great…for what it’s worth - don’t understand the profs - but that’s everywhere.
Surprisingly close to Boulder (30 mins or so). And right where you leave Denver to head into the mountains - so great outdoors opportunities. I’ve listed the verbiage from Mines merit below.
But then you can also throw in the underrated and very well employed (based on their states) SD School of Mines…Rapid City is super cool.
