Otero College is a Junior college that focuses more on the one's studies than most colleges. The classroom sizes are very small and working with one's professors are very good about hands on learning. It is a great place to start one's college career. I know I have met a lot of lifelong friends that I will keep forever. The amount of activities that the school puts on are amazing. For example, We would have goat yoga near the library which was a lot of fun to just chill out and relax with all the little goats running around.
I love the community involvement that Otero has. Being a small junior college, and being located in a small town, there isn't a ton to do on your free time. The college and community come together for bonding, putting together events, and support. I love how it feels like a family, diversity is a big part of this college and so is teamwork. All sports and programs help each other and come together to accomplish a goal. A very safe and happy environment to be in.
Otero was honestly the perfect college experience coming in as a freshman. The professors, coaches and people were overall friendly and willing to help with anything. i adapted and became very comfortable right away and thats something hard especially being from out of state. i would definitely recommend Otero to anyone looking for a great experience their first two years of college especially sports wise!
