<p>My daughter is one of the Colorado students who chose RH over Mines. There were several reasons. Mines has grad students & like most engineering schools, they really care a lot more about the grad students than the undergrads. With state budget cuts, we were concerned about programs & classes being affected at Mines. My daughter liked the environment at RH (“like a liberal arts college for geeks”). She attended Catapult last summer and really felt connected to RH more than Mines.</p>
