    Tips for prospective students

    Being at Highlands University is a really great school. The classes are very small which helps a student get one on one time with their professor. The classrooms are good learning environments for the students. The school has many places that are quiet and has good places to go off and study alone or with study groups.
    Great for these types of students

    The school is being remodeled and is becoming a better place for the students. The school now has blue lights so if there is ever an emergency the student can feel safe. The new residents hall is giving the students an environment of being at home and having their own place to enjoy. The schools parks are very relaxing and a great place to hang out and study. There is always things to do around campus and the university provides activities for the students to go to and communicate with fellow students.

    Am learning a lot

    Since the classes are much smaller, i have been learning a lot. I'm a Psychology and Political Science major. What i love about my professors is that they are so in love with their subject. Nothing is better than getting professors who know what they are talking about and know how to teach.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is getting better and better. It has been getting remodeled in the past few years. The town is very small compared to Denver, but this size just make it easier to be successful and keeps you from getting distracted =). Its far from home but i Really recommend this university

    This college is more then just a good education. It is a stepping stone to a future career. At highlands university, they don't just give you the education you need in order to your trait. The help you create skills and set up connections that can benefit you. The classes are great, this is because you get to know your professor one on one and you become more then just a student you become an individual. This will later help you when you truly need assistance getting through a class or finding a job.
    Am enjoying being here

    There is always something fun to do on campus. From swimming and sports, to the cook offs and games around campus. The hot springs in town are a great way to releave stress. And if you like to dance club HU is always pumping. On this campus staying still and having fun are hand in hand.
    Bang for the buck

    The cheapest tuition rates in all the western American region, need I say more?
    Tips for prospective students

    Stay ahead in your classes and communicate with your professors, and you will have time to have fun while having good grades. Its about the amount of work you put into school, the pay off for good work is fantastic.
    Great for these types of students

    Free tutoring, and one on one help in any class you have. The people here will always treat you with respect, and get to know you personally.

    It looks big but its actually a small school thats spread out. The classes are small so you can have your one on one time with your teacher, they know you by your name not just a number. I loved it & planning on attending in Fall 2012
    Tips for prospective students

    I am from California so its going to be far from home, so try to make friends as soon as possible, which is easy at NMHU because EVERYONE is very friendly :)
    Dorm Life

    New residence Hall is really nice, Archuleta is the next nicest but with no A/C but the hottest in NM is 80-90 so you can always buy a fan :)
    Food and Dining

    the food was Alright but they also have different options other than just the cafeteria. They have neighboring restaurants like mcDonalds and stuff
    What to do for fun

    Anything, You kind of have to make your own fun & get involved
    Bang for the buck

    Compared to California, California tuition: approx. 23,000 NMHU tuition: 2,664.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    They have a tradition of when you go to a restaurant they ask you do you want green or red chile? & I still dont know what they mean but we'll see when i start living there
    Campus Safety

    They now have Blue Light system so if you feel unsafe you can press the help button and campus police can pick you up if you need a ride to your dorm or anything. they also have an INFO button incase you cant find your class

    Academic Rigor

    the teachers are very strict and they expect everything to be done right away or before next class meeting. they expect you to put all electronics away.

    the dorm life here is great. very nice people and there are so much activities to do while living in a dorm

    NMHU is a well rounded university. I have enjoyed my time so far meeting new friends and having great faculty and staff. I would recommend it to anyone pursuing a higher education
    Tips for prospective students

    I would tell prospective students to visit the campus on a college tour, have an idea of your intended major to make things easier, and you can have fun even while staying focused on school.
    Academic Rigor

    All courses are extremely rigorous and require a great deal of work. The professors are tough, but know how to teach.
    Dorm Life

    Dorms are very nice, but not much activities go on. It is usually a very quiet environment which helps. My only problem is that some of the Resident Advisers are not very good and we never see the Resident Director.
    Food and Dining

    The food has improved. There is a variety of foods served at the cafeteria and it is more healthy. I only wish that there was not as much fried food.
    What to do for fun

    There are many clubs and organizations to get involved in. If you do not find one you like you can create your own. The town is small, but you are near a lake and mountains so camping is really fun to get away from campus. There is also a hot springs near.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There is a small park area in the middle of campus where people hang out between classes. It is unusual because there are a few putt-putt holes to play.
    Campus Safety

    There are many security guards, but they are not always around. It would be nice to have more. The good thing is there are some emergency poles around campus where in an emergency you can push the button and someone will come.
