New Mexico State University-Main Campus Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Leah

The best thing about NMSU is it's open and accepting spirit. The school has several degrees to offer, and the students and professors are diverse in all aspects of life - religion, political views, sexual orientation, etc. It's a color, religion, sexual blinded school. That makes NMSU a very inviting University-and a wonderful place to receive an education.

Everyone is pretty friendly and we work together as a school to accomplish things. It's great to be part of the community and there are a variety of degree plans available. There are plenty of options as to what you can major in and be involved in.

The best thing about my school is the class size. They're small and the instructors know you personally, which always helps.

The best thing about this school is its openness to students from diverse backgrounds, lived experiences, and identities. I am involved in the diversity programs here on campus and the students and faculty are very welcoming. Man of the instructors, not all but a large number of them, have taken Safe Zone Training, a workshop to help students and faculty to be kind and understanding to persons of non-heteronormative identities and expressions. I greatly enjoy my classes because it is so open and the instructors that I have had encourage students to speak up against intolerant behavior.

I consider the best thing about New Mexico State University to be our racial diversity. There is a different mix of students from many different states. I also believe that another great thing our school has to offer is our tutoring centers. They are always very helpful and make sure students understand the work.

NMSU is unique in its culture, I think. Southwestern culture is at its richest here. People are wiling to be themselves, so everybody is just a little eclectic. It makes for interesting sights and discussions. Also, the school is an ag school, so there are horses, sheep, and other livestock animals in one area of campus. There are greenhouses and fields and pecan groves. The campus is very pretty and has both an urban and rural feel. Country kids feel at home here and like to rope dummies out in the parking lot in the evenings, and there's a huge rodeo and horsemanship scene. But non-country people also feel at home, because Las Cruces is a fairly big town and there is plenty of non-agricultural stuff to do on campus.

The best thing about going to New Mexico State would be the diversity, the programs and the services. I have met so many different people from all over. They have programs that can help you acheive and get you to anywhere you want, especially finding work during or after school. They offer services such as a membership to the gym, free counseling and free bus transportation all over campus.

Leticia

The best thing about my school is all the people that attend. There are people from all over the world that attend NMSU. It is so neat to meet new people from different cultures and backgrounds. Overall, NMSU is a very ethnically diverse place.
