Adam Tijerina - 12/30/2019

I have attended this college for the past three years and I have to say it is quite nice. The professors are extremely helpful in every way they can be. I am glad that I chose this college to earn a degree at. If I had to change anything I think it would be to increase the amount of places to eat at. Overall it is a really good college with what seems to be a well behaved population of students.

Hannah - 09/26/2018

I think that the admissions and academic aspects of the school are great. The teachers are always available and willing to help in any ways. The school offers dual credit for current high school students which is great in terms of planning for your future and getting a head start.

Love it here. It is a stepping stone for bigger and greater things. The professors are very knowledgeable on the content they teach. I have learned so much in my time here, and am excited to transfer to main campus to keep on learning.

Adrianna - 06/12/2017

I am pleased with the interaction of professors and advisers. If I ever had any questions or concerns, I was almost always able to reach someone. NMSU-A has events to help students decide what they want to major in. They also have an annual health fair for everyone in the community!
