Well I like the accessibility of labs around campus! However parking is a bit expensive and it’s also really hard to find during the school semester. It’s nice that they have a gym! I also like the track and trails of the campus, I like the football and basketball games. It’s easy to have a very fun college experience here, and there is so many beneficial clubs here! There are also a couple of crappy teachers around campus but studying and doing your work outside of class is extremely important in succeeding, which is a good thing because it should require some work when going to college. Also our Pan Am center(auditorium) is nicer than the one in El Paso (just saying) sometimes artists come down and do concerts there and it’s really nice! Campus is constantly improving for the better and I personally think we have a really good engineering programs and a good nursing program if you guys are interested in those areas!
New Mexico State University is a very beautiful campus in general it's very green, open, and the people made me feel welcomed. Staff are always willing to help students and make them feel like they're at home. Professors are approachable and are always willing to hear what you have to say. There's tremendously unique experiences that NMSU provides for students. Aside from experiences there's also different kind of activities and organizations where I can find a perfect match to what I like to do and people just get to collaborate with one another. There's over 180+ degrees in NMSU to pick from and just the fact that they had the perfect match to the degree that I wanted to pursue. A couple of things that I think the campus needs to work on is the dorms on campus, there's always something negative that's happening whether is the water, undistinguished smells, door locks. However overall it's a great campus!
New Mexico State University offers a variety of academics for all student interests. Although it's located in a relatively small town, its only a 40 minute drive from its sister city of El Paso. The campus itself offers different activities available for it's high number of students. NMSU also has a great international presence, making the diversity on campus a strong feature. I'd highly recommend NMSU to students who want an affordable, fun and calm learning environment!
