Junior: 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.... Read 550 reviews

Freshman: So far, I have had a few problems with the university. I understand the goals of the institution and the objectives that the university strives to achieve. The diverse climate in the school is one of my favorite things about the school! The multiple backgrounds of students across campus and the specific groups have allowed me to witness and work alongside different people and similar people as myself. It has made me feel much more welcome and accepted. The only issue I hope to see improvement on within the next couple of years is the school's informational side. When searching online, I am hunting for information and having to call to find out things that I should easily be able to locate. These can include courses, financial aid, and teachers' profiles. If there was an easier system to figure out this information or to be able to view all of the information in one location, the process of application and viewing my situation would be much simpler and easier to perceive....

Freshman: I appreciate the convenience of the amenities available on campus. Staying in freshman dormitories is not as challenging or intimidating as some may think. The cafeteria operates until 8 PM on most nights, providing flexibility for dining. Tutors are available to give assistance upon request, and advisors monitor students' progress to make sure you're doing well during the semester. The campus has various quality-of-life enhancements, including food delivery services via bots. Concerns about dormitory roommates are lifted by the matching process, making sure you're partnered with someone similar to you . However, improvements are needed in addressing dormitory issues such as malfunctioning air conditioning and ceiling leaks. having these issues resolved before the student occupies the dorm instead of having to send work orders to get issues fixed would be nice....

Sophomore: CNM has been an absolutely wonderful school to attend. They provide so many resources and opportunities for all kinds of students. Associate's Degrees, Trade School Degrees, High School Diplomas, you name it! I enrolled full-time through the dual-credit program and ended up taking between 4-6 classes a semester. The professors and staff are really helpful and everyone truly cares about fostering success here! I'm excited to earn my Second and Third Associate's Degrees here in December. The online flexibility they provide also make it extremely convenient for busy students such as myself (juggling part-time work and full-time high school at the same time). While I prepare for the transfer process, I know CNM will always hold a special place in my heart. Do note that despite the many on-campus programs available, students are very anti-social, so try and find some friends from high school to come along with you! :) Also, campus is still a lot safer than UNM but still in a bad area....

Sophomore: San Juan College is an amazing school. It provides every student with the best opportunities to grow and develop into great people who are awesome at their careers. If it wasn’t for San Juan College, I don’t believe I would be in the position I am in right now. I was recently accepted into the San Juan College Dental Hygiene program and I couldn’t be more honored or excited to start my journey into my career this coming August!... Read 565 reviews
