Hello, my name is Virginia Phillips and my experience with New Mexico State University has been amazing! I am a sophomore this year 2020-2021 and even though with all of the challenges of 2020 and 2021 gave to the students, New Mexico State University has been extremely accommodating. Then New Mexico State University is very supportive and is a diverse college that wants to see change and makes a safe place for minorities to go to. As a bi-racial /black female, I feel highly safe at New Mexico State University and if I have any problems campus police and the school takes every problem seriously. New Mexico State University also helps student spread their wings and get out there no matter how young or old they are. They want every Aggie to feel at home and safe, at the end of the day Ne Mexico State University looks out for the students well being and future. When becoming an aggie you'll always be part of a second family that will support you throughout your journey.
NMSU is a great place to study and explore majors that interest you! With COVID affecting and changing the way we participated in classes this past semester, it is difficult to give an accurate rating on the campus and other school activities. With that being said, NMSU took the challenges that this ongoing world wide pandemic gave and still made learning possible. NMSU worked hard to keep college remote and self paced which made adjusting to online learning much easier and less stressful. Professors in each area of study was able to design their own curriculum that they felt would be best for their students during these difficult and unannounced times. Though I am only a freshman at NMSU with very little college experience, NMSU has helped me to better adjust to an online learning format during COVID to ensure that I can still succeed in my major!
The school overall is wonderful! Diversity, acceptance, opportunity! But there needs to be a change in how some of the music department staff treats there students and there is a lack of funding going into the practice rooms maintenance. I would love to see these things change because without a good piano to sit and practice with it makes learning a very difficult process.
There is also the fact that other performing arts students aren't allowing to get the education and learning experiences they need such as vocal lessons and are not even allowed to utilize the practice rooms because of the lack of communication and collaboration. An example of this is that musical theater majors don't have many options for places to practice their craft and music majors don't have many places to perform other than the run down music hall with torn curtains that we have been desperately begging for help and funding for.
Besides this, NMSU is a welcoming community that I am happy to be apart of!
