University of New Mexico-Main Campus Top Questions

In New Mexico we mainly enjoy the dry side of nature. We do not get a lot of rain and the vegetation that we have can only be found in the high peaks of our mountains. However, at my university, we have a great nursery. Trees abound the whole university, and a beautiful duck pond with actual ducks, sits at the center of the university. At the duck pond, students can relax and eat their lunch or read a book during the warm months. The trees and the pond will make you feel a million miles away from New Mexico.

The extra- curicular sports were at the top of the list because many students were involved. This made for some excellent exercise and teamwork to make new friends and burn calories. The team spirit with sports at this school is through the roof at the lobo basketball games created the highest honors. The lobo pride soars due to the united New Mexico sports affiliation. Being that Albuquerque has no major league sports teams, this was the biggest sporting events that students and residents would attend. It was an active school with good teachers but poor effort students.

I tell my friends how much I have hained by attending UNM. This school is very challenging, and if you are on top of it you can succeed. UNM is also a very large campus, I love how diverse the courses are.

Everything.

The diversity of the campus, not only in demographics, but also in it's areas of study. There's also lots of choices for housing and even though I personally can't eat at the dining hall, they have a wide array of food choices.

The school has integrated New Mexico's rich cultural history within the campus. The architecture of the school buildings reflect traditional hispanic or native style and have a wealth of art displayed within them, all while maintaining modern styling and accommodations. Furthermore, the campus has plenty of outdoor congregational areas that are often utilized for musical events or other school-sponsored activities.

When I talk to peple about my school I find myself talking mostly about the diverse backgrounds and culturea of the people attending school and how accepting of others my peers on campus are.

I brag mostly about the spirit. Everyone at this school is very spirited and we show it every friday by wearing the school colors, cherry and silver! Everyone takes pride in being a Lobo!

I brag about how excellent the professors are. Especially for my fun classes like ballroom dancing, the people who guide us are very good. Its almost as if the students are all blindfolded at first and have no idea what they're doing, especially starting off as a freshman, but the professors grab you by the hand and pull you toward the best path for you. Its really helpful in college when your professors are quite good. So, if you hear about a really good professor from your upperclassmen, then try your best to get that same professor.

The amount of fields of study. I always knew it was a large university, but never realized how many choices their are. I can't understand why anyone who graduates high school in New Mexico would choose an out-of-state college, when we have such a great one right here.
