Overall my experience with my academics has been great. I feel that I have learned a lot from my time at Highlands. I feel that my degree has value and that I have not only learned but have gained valuable experience in being a leader. I know that if I need help with my career I have people and resources I can use because I attended Highlands. My career center has allowed my to further my way into a career by finding internships and conferences that I could attend such as HACU which helps young Hispanic individuals. Overall my education has been lit!
Professors care and want you to be successful, the campus is a small little community and most people get along well, There are many things to do around if you are into the outdoors, and the town is nice, but it is small. People care about you!
So far it has been an honor to learn from all of my instructors! New Mexico Highlands - Higher Education Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico is a beautiful new facility. Faculty is very helpful, security officers present makes me feel safe.
