Categories Comments Great for these types of students Freshman should have an easy transition to Valencia Campus. The campus is not that big and it is a very friendly place. Along with the savings you get from low tuition I see no reason to complete lower division classes at main campus.
Tips for prospective students Register for your classes as soon as possible. Classes are very limited and there may only be once class time offered for the term, and if you don't get in you have to wait until next term.
Bang for the buck Tuition is fantastic, about $2000.00 less than main campus. It's why I'm here!
Am enjoying being here I enjoy being here but it is out of the way and in the middle of no where. The campus is a decent size, classes and schedules are rather limited so sometimes your class schedule is hard to work around having a job.
Am learning a lot The class sizes are small, any where from about 30-50 students. The professors know your name, and have shown a true desire for a student's success.

Categories Comments Campus Safety UNM-VC is a small campus, so there isn't much danger. There are security guards on campus, and they are constantly on patrol.
Great for these types of students UNM-VC is great for incoming freshmen, students with some basic courses to finish, and those who are returning to school for a degree.
Bang for the buck classes are very affordable and the education is the same quality as that of a full sized university campus.
What to do for fun There is little to do around campus, but if you go into town (about 5 miles) there are restaurants and a movie theater.
Food and Dining There is a cafeteria, however I have never eaten there.
Dorm Life there is no housing on campus.
Academic Rigor The classes are not impossibly difficult, and they make for an easy transition into college for both incoming students and those returning to school for a degree.
Tips for prospective students When starting college, it is easier to take your basic courses here as it is more affordable and the classes are more engaging.
In three sentences UNM-VC is a small campus with the same educational opportunities as the UNM main campus. Because it is a smaller campus, there is more interaction between teachers and students, therefore more efficient time spent in class. There is also less distraction on campus as there are less students, so studying is easier.

Categories Comments Clubs and Activities Student gov would be the ideal club. There are other clubs but are not the greatest.
What to do for fun Study
Food and Dining I ordered nachos once and the jalape���±os had mold. But other than that everything was great.
Dorm Life No dorms
Tips for prospective students Take gym classes elsewhere. They have equipment (ei: mats, weights and medicine balls etc..) that are cleaned maybe once a year. And are used frequently.
In three sentences The campus is great! Teachers are great. Only problem was there was a student who contracted MRSA and the employees tried to keep it under wraps (i know because an employee told me) and equipment is never disinfected properly.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Great decline in auto burglary
Clubs and Activities they have offered many activities such as zumba and fund raisers
Great for these types of students great for students interested in Art, Nursing, and Science
Bang for the buck I have appreciated my time here, even though some teachers are inadequate to the facility i have not held them to it because eventually in my years of attending they have made up for their faulty instructors.
What to do for fun Great attempts to creative campus life, they offer seminars and fun get-togethers
Food and Dining Excellent cafeteria and staff
Dorm Life Valencia branch does not offer on campus residency
Academic Rigor excellent online assisting, communicating, and goal setting
Tips for prospective students I would rate UNM-VC a 6 out of 10 in this department because some advisors do not offer verbal tips unless asked and even if asked, they are sometimes unclear.
In three sentences UNM-VC provides effective learning, safe environment, and easy online services. I enjoy attending this university and would recommend this campus to other students. What i enjoy most about this campus is the variety of subjects to study here.
