In all honesty, it is a great school. The teaching staff is able to help you with course work because of how few students attend. However, they do not have many accommodations for students with mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety. The staff are mostly kind and help you through this, but certain professors do not care as much about your mental health compared to your grades and attendance. That is my only con but it has a big impact on students that the staff might not understand. Overall, it is a great school with great professors. The students are welcoming and kind. The scenery is wonderful if you love outdoor activities or just being in the mountains.
My experience with Western New Mexico University (WNMU), has so far been exciting. It's been social, adventurous, academic, challenging, and most importantly it's been rewarding. This is an amazing university with several opportunities available to any and all of its students.
Excellent teachers! Online classes are engaging and interactive, but at the same time flexible for busy schedules. Wide variety of degree programs to choose from. Great attitude for staff who aides in assistance from advisors to registars.
