New Mexico Tech Reviews
Rating 3.55 out of 5 550 reviews
Personally I love higher education, now does that mean that higher education is not a ruse and is more in line with as very expensive day care for young adults, I sure think that most institutes and colleges actually make employees rather than free thinkers, but hey that's another topic. New Mexico Tech among others might be an exception, I am currently studying to become a chemical engineer, regular bachelors, nothing crazy, I will leave here working for Sandia National laboratories making $118,000 annually starting pay. This is pretty astonishing when you consider this is starting and with only a bachelors. They really care at NMT (New Mexico Tech) they have some of the greatest minds, teachers that care, genuinely care, I believe the teacher to student ratio is 1 to 9, that's pretty good. Wonderful school, wonderful teachers, wonderful experience. Also Return on Investment is 11/5 stars by the way.
Everything is pretty good about this school except for the food. Chartwells is so awful it's the only thing every Tech student can agree on. It's also very very cheap here (I am legit being paid to attend and none of my friends are paying more than $1,000 a semester to go here). Some of the professors here can be very meh, especially in general chemistry (except Dr. Altig who is the best human being ever) but the majority of them are super cool and very accomplished individuals. The academics, however, are unnecessarily difficult in the first year, which is evident by the fact that the mental health here is kinda low with the dropout rate being even lower. But if you make it, you will have plenty of research and internship opportunities galore. My friends are first years and they already have summer internships with both of them being published for their research in the SEA-PHAGES program. It's a pretty good school albeit very difficult.
Overall, my experience at New Mexico Tech has been very good. It's a smaller campus that is always well maintained, very pretty, and easy to navigate. The smaller class sizes allow for a better, more personal learning experience. There are an abundant amount of resources available for all of your needs as a student (tutoring, financial aid, etc.). There isn't a lot to do in town, but there are plenty of outdoorsy things to do that are a short car ride away and the school puts together a lot of different events for the students to enjoy.
