A small public engineering college in Golden, Colorado. While heralded as one of the most prestigious engineering colleges in the country, mines suffers from an absurdly imbalanced male-female ratio. Dating at mines for men is a perpetual state of being cock-blocked, as the number of single straight females at the university is somewhere in the single-digits.
Mines is home to a thriving greek life, as joining a fraternity guarantees you plenty of alternatives to resorting to giving your female TA's sexual favors.
Despite being one of the most stressful college experiences in the country, the campus suicide rate remains astonishingly low, as most incoming freshmen do not know how to use a screwdriver to remove the suicide blocks present on all dormitory windows.
Most students at all levels are familiar with the concept of weed-out classes. However, weed-out classes do not exist at mines as all mines classes fit the definition.
The mines student body has a thriving LGBT+ community, likely as a result of most of the above.

"You're 22 and still a virgin. What are you doing?"

I went to the Colorado School of Mines to fulfill my dreams, but it turned out to be more or less a rapey sausage fest.
