<p>Alantx,
Thanx so much for letting me know what going on and that you are going to Mines. Would love to hear what he thinks about it along the way, and how he’s doing thru the year. We visited this summer and all we heard was variations on the theme of “Love the school, but it’s REALLY hard!” They also said there are TONS of options for help when/if you are struggling with something, but he has to ASK for it; my son’s not so great at recognizing there could be a problem & asking for help!! </p>
<p>Anyway, please let us know what he thinks about the “freshman experience” as well as any tidbits of advice you/he learn along the way. BTW, I have a friend who graduated Mines about 15 yrs ago. His school philosophy was to work / study EVERY DAY until 10 PM, then he went to bed every night at 10. He also didn’t study on weekends and took advantage of to Colo outdoor life then. He’s now a deepwater geologist & doing extremely well. </p>
<p>Best of luck to your son, and to his dad, too!</p>
<p>JON</p>
