Categories Comments Campus Safety there are always securities driving around ready to hellp when needed and campus is arranged in a fairy safe way, not much ups and down.
Greek Life none really
Clubs and Activities many clubs and activies in whick you can be involve, be it political or honors programs.
Great for these types of students great for those students who really wat to succeed and learn, because here you can get one on one attention when needed. So this is exceptionally good for those who regularly want personal help.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus there is a cowboy museum on campus, always thought that was kind of wierd.
Bang for the buck VERY AFFORDABLE!! WORTH EVERY PENNY
What to do for fun you can always go support the school teams that play on campus, and the college is always providing free activities for the students
Tips for prospective students begin here if you live close to hobbs, it really is worth it. Study alot and always be on top of things. Also if you attend class it will help out soo much.
In three sentences New Mexico junior college is a great college. You can get personal attention from the faculty when needed, and the teachers seem interested that you learn the course work. It is also very affordable.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus security patrols 24/7 I believe.
Great for these types of students Those looking for an affordable education or an affordable associates degree.
Bang for the buck This college probably offers the most affordable associates degrees around. Also most of the other classes are transferable to many universities including Texas Tech university.
What to do for fun There are always neat things going on on campus, like picture book making, stuff an animal workshops, and so much more. There are also things to do off campus as well, just off campus there is a gorgeous running trail, a movie theater, the lea county event center that has concerts and monster trucks.
Food and Dining The cafeteria has wonderful food. The snack bar has the best breakfast burritos in town. The food is very affordable even in the snack bar. There is everything from pizza, salads, burgers, fries, chicken strips, and much more.
Dorm Life I didn't live in the dorms, but there are really nice dorm rooms that are fairly new and affordable. I have seen the dorms and have friends that stayed in the doorms.
Academic Rigor The content for nursing and pre-nursing is challenging but the professors have extensive knowledge and are amazing at explaining the content in several different ways to make learning the information easier no matter what kind of learner you are. Studying in the nursing program is a necessity.
Tips for prospective students Work hard and ask for help if you need it. All of the professors I had classes with were extremely helpful and more than willing to stay and explain content after class.
In three sentences This school is great, the professors care about you and your performance. The nursing program is an excellent choice and very affordable. I have no complaints about my experience at this college.

Categories Comments What to do for fun The JC pays for us to get into the movies, the have fun things going on in the court yard.
Dorm Life I lived in the appartments and absolutly love it, you will have some roommates you like and others you don't.
Tips for prospective students I would tell future students not to give up. The first semester is going to be the hardest just getting into the swing of things. Go to class.
In three sentences I just finished my first first semester here at NMJC and I really loved it. The professers were really understanding and made you feel like you were wanted there. They also gave you one on one time when you needed it.

Categories Comments Campus Safety This was a very safe campus.
Clubs and Activities Like I said before they have alot of tutoring. Sports games (baseball/basketball) are often happening at nights. Several concerts occured during the year. The musuem is right next door but I didn't find many students were interested in the museum. Alot of the students had jobs and didn't get involved with activities. Several times they provided free shirt making/ring engraving events.
Great for these types of students Students that don't have alot of money for college but still want to pursue a degree.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I never lived on campus so I wasn't involved with any unusual traditions? I never even heard of any traditions?
Bang for the buck This school is so good if your trying to save money for a 4 year because they have an amazingly reasonable price!
What to do for fun This school had just begun re-starting their drama program and had many concerts come in so if that is something your interested in they did provide that. Apparently in the dorms they had an activity for all students every wednesday but overall I found most students desired more activities and events on campus.
Food and Dining I did not eat at the cafeteria but I heard it was not very good. They were working on improving it this last semester.
Dorm Life I did not live in the dorms so I cannot answer this one.
Academic Rigor I took only basic classes and found most of them to be not too high of a difficulty level. I think academic wise that NMJC had some great teachers and was good overall. If your planning on going into a field that requires math I think that this is the one academic weakness at the Junior college. Their were some very debatable math teachers and would recommend getting your math classes at a different school.
Tips for prospective students I would say to just be responsible. Show up to class and do the work and you should not have trouble passing. It's not like the classes here are extremely difficult and require alot of study time, they just require you to be on top of things. When signing up for classes allow for alot of time because often the counselling offices are very busy and require a long wait. And I would have an idea of what you want to take before talking to a counsellor.
In three sentences For the most part the staff at NMJC is a friendly staff. Not a very eventful campus at NMJC but pretty good sports teams. They have alot of tutoring resources and things available to students.
