My dad went here and all of his best friends, to this day, are all the friends that
he made at South Dakota Mines. I still refer to my dad's friends as my uncles and
aunts.

Living On Campus
I think it's a great school, not just because of the education, but what you can do
with that education. Engineering doesn't mean you have to be stuck behind a desk and
working a 9-to-5. You can go out and explore, be out in the field, get to know people,
and just explore your own avenue – find what is going to make you happy in your own
professional career.
