University of New Mexico-Main Campus Top Questions

The life on campus. There are a lot of activites that are put on by the Resident Hall Associtation, so there are plenty of opportunities to meet new people. The students are also hard working. Many students will form study groups within their dorms and get together a couple times a week to study.

I love the atmosphere and the teachers I have had have taught me so much. Living on campus, the transition was easy and people were friendly and genuine and I have made so many friends and really become a part of the school.

I think the best thing about the University of New Mexico is the diversity the school embraces from the diverse students to the unique adobe style campus rich with hispanic and native american culture. The campus is full of interesting art work and unique classes that exposes students to culture that they would not normally know about.

Well the fact that they give in coming freshmen the chance to award them the lottery scholarship. Also help work with them to succeed with their choice of major. As well as guide them to get there. One other thing is they look a head toward grad school.

The best thing about my school is the diversity of students and programs available to students. There are many options for degree plans for students to choose from. There are a lot of groups that participate in activities that don't involve school, like the Queer-Straight Alliance. This group gathers students from campus to participate in events. UNM is open to new ideas and encourages student involvement in these outside groups.

I really like the music program, which is what I'm in. They have one of the better curriculums for music around. There are music students that come from other universities that have to catch up to what we are being taught.

At UNM they really encourage you to get involved in university organizations, clubs, or sports. I really think this can make your college experience 10X better!

There is not much accountability for/from students and faculty. The positive aspect of this is that those who should not be in college do not remain and therefore the upper level classes are usually full of students who should be continuing their education. This also allows everyone to decide without guilt how much they want to invest in their classes.

My department. The professors and advisors are freindly, helpful, and understanding. They treat you like a person and not just another student.

UNM's very open to non-traditional and more career-oriented students, which makes it a great choice for students who aren't fresh out of high school. Most students are commuters and thus commuting is not seen as outside the norm, so commuters have adequate opportunities to get involved in social and extracurricular life at UNM.
