Welcome to Residence Life at South Dakota School of Mines & Technology! Over 750 students call our residence halls and apartments home while at SDSM&T. We provide housing for all students who have graduated from high school in the past two years (per BOR housing policies) in our residence halls and have apartment rentals for all other students.

Please take time to look through our website to learn about our residence life program, the housing options we offer, and much more.

Residence Life Mission

Residence Life seeks to provide a safe environment that encourages learning and personal growth in an inclusive community that empowers and challenges our residents. We continually strive to improve our services to meet the needs of our students and reflect the high standards of South Dakota School of Mines & Technology.

Welcome New Students!

Welcome to our new incoming freshmen and transfer students! On-campus housing is required of all students who have graduated from high school in the past two years. Learn more about housing options, move-in information, and what you can/can not bring to campus by visiting our New Student Website.
