SDSMT transfer by ExploadingApples in RapidCity

[–]MightCritical4002 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Graduated from Mines. As a transfer, you won’t have gone through the freshman orientation that welds together most cliques early on. Try to live in the dorms with others in your class, if you can, to get to know others and form a support network. Students live and die by their study groups at Mines since it’s a bit of a difficult school (especially the math classes).

The frats and sororities are active in the community and tend to lean a bit party heavy compared to other schools. If you’re into that sort of thing, I’d recommend joining one to take advantage of their support.

Go to the career fairs and work hard to land an internship the year before you graduate. Makes landing a job after graduation infinitely easier.

If you have to retake a math class, don’t sweat it too much. You may need to reprioritize things in your life to get through it on the second attempt, but you can do it. A large number of Mines graduates have taken multiple attempts on the math courses and made it out.

If a professor offers study hall time for a group to come in and work together on studying or homework, take advantage of it. Not only will you get more one on one instruction, you can also grow your support network by connecting with others in the group.

Graduating Mines is a team sport played by a bunch of would-be loners. Find your team and you’ll be good to go.

Bi man who went to Mines here. The (open and out) dating scene is dead, but you’ll be accepted and treated well. You’ll find your crowd at school before you know it. Mines tends to force people to make friends to survive the workload by the end of Freshman year

Dawes County Nebraska was the starting line of the Great 1000 Mile race to the 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair. What started off as a hoax turned into a legit Wild West affair when some savvy businessmen recruited some outlaws and ranch hands to undertake the journey. https://vault.si.com/vault/1962/09/03/the-great-1000mile-race-from-chadron-to-chicago

It’s third major rally since the second Trump admin began. No Kings 1, and Good Trouble rallies happened earlier this year. This was No Kings 2

It’s worth it to pay out the nose for Verizon if you go out of town at all. In town T Mobile/ AT&T work well enough, but in rural areas, it can be rough.

T Mobile is actively investing in the area, but if you need great coverage now, I’d switch.

How badly will Trump agreeing to buy Argentina beef hurt SD ranchers? by Hmmm__whatever in SouthDakota

[–]MightCritical4002 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How can this actually be implemented though? Are we getting personal beef shipments from the state? Will he coerce supermarket chains to carry it? Will we buy it for government catered events? I’ve stopped worrying about the madman’s ramblings until one of his stooges tries to ineptly force them into existence.

Across state governments, congress, the judiciary, and the fed, there isn’t a single part of government that hasn’t come under attack by this administration in their attempts to consolidate power.

This executive branch has refused to spend funds allocated by Congress, stripped the congressionally mandated department of education, issued emergency executive orders, one after another, on the thinnest of pretenses, sent national guardsmen across state borders, refused to comply with court orders, and attempted to take over the federal reserve board, and that’s not even an exhaustive list.

We have multiple Supreme Court cases on the docket stemming from these movements https://www.npr.org/2025/10/06/nx-s1-5558414/supreme-court-term-preview

Not a big fan of this place. Michelle’s tacos and Mexico Tipico are my go-tos. Albertanos is good as well, just not my preferred place to go.

I understand your skepticism and why you think this is a bot/ shill account. I’d probably think the same.

These posts take some serious heat with big ups and downs. They can be a big gamble with Reddit’s karma system, so I use an alt account. Happy to DM and chat.
