Attending Western New Mexico University overall has been a wonderful experience. However, if there had to be any changes, I would like to see more staff for the more complex courses. Having the option to choose an instructor for courses can be very beneficial for students especially since we all have different learning styles. Having a diverse group of instructors to choose from would benefit students immensely because it would allow us to choose an instructor whose material and teaching style/pace will be attainable to students who may struggle in these more difficult courses. However, the school does fairly well in accommodating students otherwise.
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.
I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking into a MSW program. Their Social Work program has won awards, has a diverse faculty and their cultural competency courses are imperative. Their electives offer a variety of options that are all beneficial to any Master of Social Work Program.
