From University of New Mexico
Each of us defines all of us. We are a community of unique perspectives embracing our differences. We are a culture of contrast, not a contrast of cultures. Unafraid to let our colors run and blend and let the very things that divide us become the things that unite us. So we can create, collect and spread knowledge – about everything from nuclear engineering and fine art to enzymatic fuel cells, revolutionary medicine and forensic accounting. What makes us different makes us strong.

Simply a degree factory. Teachers are not interested in teaching and would rather do their research. TA/GA's are there because they have to be. Best of luck when your GA cannot even put together a simple sentence in English and you don't speak an Asian language fluently.
Location on Central, hahaha! What safety? Constant problems there
Sports? Greek? Easily avoidable and probably for the best.
You can watch your tuition rate climb ever higher as the school struggles to pay constant $$$ buyouts for the rotating door of Coaches and Presidents
The "new dorms" are already in worse shape than the old dorms. The off campus housing is great if you like break ins. Parking is a joke and again great for break ins.
The UNM Administration is more interesting in looks and spend money on updating buildings or to draw in "student" athletes. Because the real reason no one wanted to come to UNM is we didn't have a recently renovated gym

The University of New Mexico claims to place education first, but I have first hand experience in the exact opposite. The University takes money from their students by any means necessary. I have had my car booted because I utilized my registered alternate vehicle with my parking pass clearly visible, the parking attendant simply didn't do their job correctly. This costed me $500 to resolve. The math department insists on having students teach the class, most of whom do not fully understand the material themselves. When instructors are asked questions, they often reply with "I'm not sure" or "hopefully you get the idea."
My experience so far at UNM has been very good. There are a lot of different programs and majors for students to choose from. The only minor issue I've run into is that some of the advisors are not very reliable, and has set a few of my fellow classmates back in their graduation requirements. Other than the advisement issue, UNM is very diverse and there are a lot of student organizations for all ethnicities and cultures. The professors are also pretty good, out of my three years at this school I've only had one bad professor. Overall, a pretty good school with a lot of activities and degrees to choose from!
