What is your overall opinion of this school?

Everyone hates the University of New Mexico, but I can't quite figure out why. There is no doubt that the college town (Albuquerque) is slightly sketchy and gets more sketchy as the weather warms up. However, the campus itself is beautiful and large. The professors lie on a spectrum of "comes to class in pajamas and regularly cusses" to "has a British accent and genuinely cares about your education." Our cafeteria (loving called La Po, short for La Posada) was recently renovated and now offers a pasta bar and other stuff (I only care about the pasta bar). Despite my love for customizable spaghetti, by the second semester, you wonder why you spent so much money to eat there once a day and still get bored of it by the end of the week. Housing is great now that the cockroaches are gone, and I've only had heat strokes once or twice because the AC isn't on and it's 75 degrees outside. All in all, despite the many downsides, I love my school and the people here. UNM is the perfect place for anyone who wants to get in-state tuition and not have to suffer through the endless partying of our southern competition. Everyone's a LOBO... woof, woof, woof!

What is your overall opinion of this school?

University does discrmination among the students in respect of grading. UNM does not treat students equally. There is discrimination made among the students. Title IX coordinators are part of university administration. So, if any unlawful acts happen and even if you complain to title IX coordinators; nothing will work. Title IX coordinators is a fake game of many universities in USA. You may choose to join UNM; but if you suffer in any unlawful acts; no one will care until you go to police, courts and department of justice. This is the TRUTH. UNM advertises many things with "good title IX system or LOBO-Respect". The truth is, title IX is just a doll of administration. Believe it or not. If you plan to join; you may need to prepare some precautions before you join.. best of luck.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

I am currently a 2nd year college student at The University of New Mexico. I am currently working towards an Bachelor's degree in architect. I am currently taking a total of 18 credit hours. The campus is accessible to shops, as well as everything is user friendly as are the professors and students.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

UNM has it's flaws but there is a lot to appreciate about it. The campus is nice and well-kept and we even have our own duck pond with REAL ducks, turtles, and fish. At UNM, we have SUB where various food companies such as: Subway, WisePies, Blakes, Twisters, etc. are where people can have their lunch. If you're curious about sports and exercise, we have Johnson Field (soccer/football field) and Johnson center (2 full pools, weight room(s), 3 separate gyms). Do you like libraries? We have 4 spread throughout the campus. And on average, classes are relatively small compared to other colleges I've observed. The biggest class I can think of at any semester is in Woodward Hall which can hold up to about 800-1,00 students? But so far, I haven't been placed in a class such as that. Teachers genuinely care for their students. I rarely look at RateMyProfessor, I care more about what time and what class I need to take for my degree. And so far all the classes I have taken have been successful and even the classes I struggled in I felt like the teacher really tried their hardest to help me. But I would beware or give a word of caution about our advisers/financial aid/scholarship/registration offices. Usually around the beginning and end of the semester these offices struggle to keep up and assess things in a quick/appropriate manner. So, it would be best to do any tasks/errands regarding these areas about 2 weeks either before or after the semester. Plan ahead as much as you can. But besides this little slip-up, the campus is generally well functioning and the learning environment is worth what you pay.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

The campus itself is beautiful, and the school is well accredited. Some parts are outdated, but that's part of the New Mexican charm. The classes vary in size from less than ten to more than one hundred. The main issue I have with the campus is the dangerous area it is in. It's by no means safe, being in the center of town, and it can get even less safe at night. I recommend carrying around mace.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

Honestly, the University of New Mexico is a campus of diverse cultures of students. It is a home away from home where you get to meet people of many different cultures. It has many different opportunities and clubs which you can join. It is a school of opportunity and community. Everyone is a Lobo!

What is your overall opinion of this school?

It is a very diverse school and offers opportunities for everybody. However, it doesn’t really advertise itself so people don’t know much about it or it’s activities. It has fantastic research and unusual majors for people with specific interests. There’s plenty of clubs and organizations to feel like you’re a part of something you enjoy. The tuition is very accessible, especially compared to most schools

What is your overall opinion of this school?

I am glad, overall, that I left my home state to come here. While as a whole it is not the best those I've met make it all worth wild. I came from Missouri and didn't want to stay stuck as the same person I was in high school. At UNM I have found myself as a person and am happier with who I am.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

This school isn't the best, in terms of what high school seniors are looking for. Academics aren't outstanding. Having a degree from here is not significant. Holds no more weight than a degree from NMSU or NMT, but holds less weight then more competitive schools like the UC's. The social aspect of the school is alright as well. Only tailgate that people attend is UNM vs NMSU. If i'm being honest it's pretty hype. But we're unlike other schools who tailgate every weekend. The school offers enough resources to be excellent if you push for it. You need initiative to find what you're looking for. That quality combined with the massive affordability for the school makes it good.
