University of New Mexico-Main Campus Top Questions

Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.

Josh

My school is pretty cool, the one thing that I would advise is to stay focused all four years of college! The problem is that freshman get caught up in the dorm life and that they are away from home. So they get crazy as well as think that they can manage both partying and school. Though, you think you can, it is super difficult! Most freshman drop out of college because of bad grades! Don't waste your money and your time, it is not worth it! You are better than that! -Fellow Student

monica

The old kingdom of Mayan civilization. The way the school is designed, I feel like I am walking in the ruins of Mexican/South American civilization. There is so much cement here you will never get dirty. There are lots of skaters and the weather is always sunny. This university focuses on medical, law, Spanish cultures, and engineering. The professors are enthusiastic and love to help students during their office hours. They have a wonderful service here for students that struggle academically called CAPS.

My school is a sun-warmed mélange of artists, scientists-in-training, doctors who one day may handle my children as they come into the world, scholars walking with barefoot activists, everyone lit by streams of light breaking through the lush trees, providing welcome shade from the 360-days-a-year sunlight as we share classrooms with some of the best young minds in the southwest.

Overall, I do not like the University of New Mexico due to the faculty's lack of advisement and care for the students.

Anthony

It is exactly as my teachers in High School said it would be, meaning that it is huge and overwhelming; the new lifestyle is extremely difficult to adapt to especially when I'm not living at home any longer and have to suddenly become an adult; besides the part time job I'm working, I also have to worry about bills, food, replacing broken things in my apartment, let alone the homework and classes, but its exciting and a very fresh new feel in my seemingly boring life as a High School student.
