Rating 3.54 out of 5 3,703 reviews
I love UNM! The studio arts program is strong. Through the College of Fine Arts, I have found opportunities to show my work, publish writing, and connect with prestigious artists. Professors here truly want you to succeed, even if they're adjuncts. I have a work study job at the UNM Art Museum, where I'm happy to be surrounded by coworkers who are kind, compassionate, and intelligent. Working in an institution closely related to my major has enhanced my education.
Clinicians at Student Health and Counseling have been so supportive and essential to my wellbeing while I've been in school here. I also feel fortunate to have support for my disabilities through the Accessibility Resource Center (ARC).
All that said, the surrounding area isn't very safe. I get frequent text alerts from public safety about violent incidents on or close to campus. I wish I had more professors teaching studio arts courses instead of graduate students.

If you seek help throughout your degree program, you will get it! Advisors are very accessible and there is even a live chat option for certain departments (registration, financial aid, etc.). They also have a variety of clubs (Lobo Spirit, Community Experience) that are fun but also promote a stronger sense of community. One thing I would change is the scheduling of job fairs. They are usually around noon and most students cannot make it because they are in class. The student turnout could be greater if they offered a variety of time slots or made the time blocks larger.
I decided to attend UNM because of its affordability and proximity to my family. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the quality of education and opportunities I have received. I have been impressed by excellent faculty, research opportunities, student groups, and work study. I’m a little disappointed at the price hikes from PATS (parking services) and lack of nearby parking. I don’t have any big safety concerns on campus, which in pleasantly surprised by!
