Student Life
At South Dakota Mines, you’re part of a family of intellects, explorers, and researchers.
We’re not afraid to adventure outdoors, underground or into virtual reality. Get outside,
get involved, and see all that Rapid City has to offer.
Some of my favorite things about being a student at South Dakota Mines are the things that happen outside of the classroom. I have had some of my most memorable and meaningful college experiences participating in the Drama Club shows, making professional connections through the Biomedical Engineering Society, and supporting other Women in STEM through the WiSE program.
