Move the Piano in Brown
I understand that this issue has already been brought up, but I feel the need to voice the opinions of not only myself, but a host of other students who study in brown. The large area for study is meant for studying. It's more than just a small distraction, I am currently on the second floor of brown and I can still hear the piano.
I understand that playing the piano may be a great de-stress activity for many students, and that's great. But doing it loudly right in front of students who are studying for difficult exams, writing reports,…

Health Insurance Coverage After Graduation
As of now, there is no post-graduate health insurance support for students using the SHIP. Most employers would offer at minimum, a 3 month buy in option for an employee that is leaving. Also for example, CU and CSU have options for students to maintain their insurance for 6 months or more after graduation.
The "Official" advice is to either enroll in a temporary coverage plan (for reference, see the attached email), to rely on your next employer, or to be privileged enough to rely on a parent or spouses plan. These solutions are all potentially inadequate for students facing…

The air conditioner in Elm makes the rooms smell bad.
Ever since we moved in, any time we turn the air on in our dorm, it seems to start smelling gross. We know for sure its not our items because if we turn it off the smell goes away. I'm not sure if its a filter issue, but its really annoying!

Vending Machine Ctlm
The drink machine on the first floor of ctlm does now give accurate change. Multiple times I have bought one drink, paid $5, was supposed to get $3.50 back and only got 50 cents back. Right now I’m owed $9 in change and tried to submit a work order a month ago but have yet to hear back to even see if they got the work order.

Fix the vending Machines
Litterally no vending machines get refilled or fixed. Most don't take cards and alot of the times won't give you your money back if you put in cash. Please look at Coors Tek and the one by subway as examples.

Elm Street Angled Parking
Elm Street appears to be wide enough for angled parking on a section of it which would add spots to campus. The road changes width, and in the wider spot (the yellow box) parking could be angled without decreasing the width of the road (the red line).

Water in Maple is too cold!
Ever since winter break, I have noticed that the showers in Maple do not get as warm as they did last semester (which was already not very warm). A couple of other residents have mentioned this as well, without my prompting so I know I am not the only one who thinks this. I initially thought it was just people at the beginning of a semester being responsible, but it seems that the water heater has been lowered or something.
I get that hot water is expensive, but the water is barely considered warm in my opinion, and I know…

TalkBoxes for private/quiet phone calls
There aren't many places suitable for phone calls on campus, so TalkBox booths, which are just small sound proof booths, would really help

FIX THE PARKING
It doesn't make sense that Mines would destroy two parking lots at the same time! It literally takes me an average of 15 minutes everyday to find parking and even when I get here early I'm still late to class. Either add more parking spots somewhere else or at least lower the fee for parking until the new lot is built. I shouldn't be paying this much money just so Mines can make me late to class every. single. day.

Free Beer Samples at the Carnival
I know this may not be a big deal for everyone but in the past at carnival there have historically been free beer samples. As a freshly turned 21 year old I was looking forward to being able to partake at this EDays, but instead was told I have to pay for it. Granted, it was a good price, $5 for 3, but it was still disappointing. What happened?

Required recitations should be scheduled at the same time as the course time.
Recitations generally are required and scheduled later in the afternoon compared to the course they are linked with. They should be instead scheduled at the exact same time as the course scheduled time as if it were a normal class day. This makes a lot of students who have extra curricular afternoon activities, or jobs miss out on the required recitations that are supposed to help them in the first place. I don't see why they can't match the times better or at least offer earlier recitations?

Parking permits should begin and end during the 1st week of classes (or on census day)
The first order of business for returning students should NOT be renewing their parking permits. And students who are on campus over the summer should not be surprised on August 1st when they get a ticket for an expired permit. Get rid of the arbitrary August 1st date. Allow returning students to get settled and get funding for the semester straightened out before making them buy a parking permit.

Where my diploma at? - David (and everybody else)
I think that the registrar should send out the PDF diplomas to all the seniors that graduated in May.
I understand that the registrar is busy, but here are some numbers to show that it's wild that we haven't gotten them yet:
Days since May 10th, 2019: 122
Minus weekends (36 days): 86
Days if they took two weeks off: 76If you assume that there was only one person in the registrar's office taking care of absolutely everything, I'd say maybe we'd lose 40 DAYS (1,600 working hours) to working on registration. That would leave 36 days. I understand…

Delay and Cancellation Timing Announcements
Mines said that they would announce a delay or closure at 5:30 am. This would have benefited the rec center student employees as well as the swim team who all got up and came to campus and opened the building which then had to be closed five minutes later. There should be more accountability for Mines to actually stick to their word especially since this closure was due to road conditions that the people who drove on had to drive on again, thus risking their safety. Since campus is closed they do not have the option to stay in a…

What is the point of Trailhead?
Seriously, what is the point of having a web "portal" if I have to log into EVERY. SINGLE. INDIVIDUAL. WEBSITE.?!? It would be interesting to calculate how much time is collectively lost by students and staff having to perform all of these redundant logins. When I use a web portal, I expect to only have to login ONCE and then have the portal carry my credentials over to whatever site I link to from the portal.
Also, why is there no direct link to OrePrint on Trailhead?

Cancel School when the weather is dangerous
As a commuter student I was barely able to get in to school today with the inclement weather and terrible roads, and I have a relatively easy commute compared to some others. Even after the roads parking lots on campus were an icy nightmare followed by sliding down sidewalks on the walk to class. If the administration cancelled class, or even gave a late start, we all could've avoided that purgatory
