    Am learning a lot

    Here at NMSU my classes are engaging and focus on all aspects. You don't just spend your time reading out of the book, but rather applying the practices to your life. You will always find meaning to take from your classes.
    Am enjoying being here

    NMSU is the perfect school for me. It's far enough away from home that I have my independence, but Las Cruces is such a college community that it's like having your family here. All over the city people are watching the games, coming to support events and overall being completely supportive of your college experience!
    Bang for the buck

    When I first started looking at colleges, money was definitely a factor. NMSU has helped me in that area by providing scholarships for grades, your major and miscellaneous things.
    Tips for prospective students

    Have fun. I know that you come to college to get your degree, get out into the real world, but enjoy it while you're here! Go out, join clubs, make friends and open your eyes to the world in front of you.
    Great for these types of students

    Personally, I know so many types of students that I think anyone can find a place for them here at NMSU.

    I'm an Animal Science major, and I've learned more in the past few months then I've learned in the past few years. With hands on labs, and discussions in your lectures you get to learn by actually doing! I have a variety of classes, and you will to. If you want to try something, they'll schedule it in. I have a hands on lab, and in this lab I've done everything from herding sheep to checking inside a cows stomach. The experience is unforgetable!
    Am enjoying being here

    NMSU has a beautiful very large campus. It's very green with quite a few trees. It's definately very different from where I came from, so I do get occasionally home sick. The people are great, and the food isn't to bad. The dorms are a bit small, but you're never in your dorm anyway. It's definately an experience sharing your room with someone.
    Bang for the buck

    New Mexico State is definately an affordable college. Tuition is practically nothing! I'm paying 5,000 for the year, 18 credit hours this semester, and 18 credit hours next semester. Dorm room and meal plans are a bit pricey, but they're definately worth it!
    Tips for prospective students

    APPLY EARLY! My biggest fault was changing my mind at the last minute. I was only able to get loans because I didn't meet the March 1st deadline for scholarships. So always be on top of your deadlines. And have fun! The first few weeks I just studied. Keep a healthy balance of social activities as well as academics. I now do Zumba, have a part time job, and hang out with friends. Even though I've been studying less, my grades are still going up because I'm happy. I'm balanced and thus better able to stay focused.
    Great for these types of students

    Living here I've met so many different types of people. As long as you want to be in college, you'll love it here! We have everything from party girl sorotities to nerd clubs. There is definately something for everyone. The unique thing here is that everyone is so friendly! I was walking infront of my dorms and got invited to hookah by just walking by. Everyone is so nice here, and they accept everyone. My friends consist of everything from football players to goths. No one is ever left out here, and thats what I love about it!

    Am learning a lot

    I am a junior studying Music Education here at NMSU and I have to say the music program as well as the school is very good. Besides the music professors, all other professors of all different majors are good and helpful. In high school, I didn't think music would be hard and that there was more to it than the obvious. I have taken up to 19 credits since my freshman year and I keep learning more and more each semester. In the general education courses each student needs to take, there are also laboratory courses. These help you a lot! If you are not strong in a science course, going to the lab will help you because it is a hands on course. If it's geology, you work with rocks and maps. The professors are great and will help you if possible.
    Am enjoying being here

    Since the first day I moved into the dorms here at NMSU, I have met a lot of great and fun people. I have made great friendships but have also maintained my hometown friends. Even if you are form out of state, I can assure you will find long lasting friendships here. There is always an event going on almost every day of each week. I am in the PRIDE Marching Band and always perform at the pep rallies for the games, and a lot of people go to them. Prizes and free food are always given out to the attendees. If you like to socialize or just have a good time at the Student's center, you will love it here!
    Bang for the buck

    Money! Money! Money! I didn't really had to think about money when I was in high school, but when I was a senior in high school, that was the very first thing that popped into my head when applying to colleges. If you are having that same situation now, don't worry about it too much when applying to NMSU. The tuition here is less than how it is at UTEP, which is in my hometown of El Paso. I pay 2,856 per semester and it is easy to pay with or without loans. There are a lot of scholarships offered here for just being involved in an organization, having good grades, and for working too. Either way, you should still apply for financial aid if in case the tuition is over your budget. Grants are also useful!
    Tips for prospective students

    The main tip I have for you is to apply to NMSU right away and fill out your FAFSA form, along with scholarships. Plan everything ahead of time! My first year was a little tough with money because I didn't plan it very well. The dorm I lived in and the meal plan I had was pricey but there are cheaper dorms and meal plans. I rushed things with living and food but it was still worth it. I met most of my friends in the dorms and I didn't know how to cook, so I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day at our Taos cafeteria.
    Great for these types of students

    If you are a person from artistic to just being a regular student, you will not feel left out here at NMSU. I was never popular in high school but once I started college, I met a lot of people from different backgrounds. This happened because 1) I lived on campus and wherever I'd be walking, everyone was friendly and I felt welcomed even if they didn't say a word to me, 2) I was part of one of the biggest organizations on campus, the PRIDE Marching Band. I always went to the school events and all types of people went too. It is really great and comforting knowing that everyone gets along with who ever. If you don't like going out to parties or events, you can also meet great people by just studying at Corbett Center. Every student hangs out, eats, and does homework here. So, now it's up to you if all of these great qualities meet your requirements in a university. I hope my review helped you and hope to see you walking on campus!

    I can defiantly say I am learning a great deal of knowledge. My courses are preparing me for my career as an Elementary Educator. The classes provide the material gradually without making it overwhelming.
    Am enjoying being here

    The atmosphere is pleasant. With a nice scenery. There are plenty of activities constantly going on so there is no trouble in finding something to do. There are numerous clubs to get involved in. All in all, my experience has been extremely enjoyable.
    Bang for the buck

    I am actually from Yuma Arizona so going to an out-of-state school was out of the question. However, the university provides a tuition reduction program called Western Undergraduate Exchange Program, this program allows me to attend this out-of-state college while paying the in state tuition opposed to the out-of-state. I am very happy to say that the tuition is very low and reasonable.
    Tips for prospective students

    Use the professor's office hours to obtain assistance out of class. This will help with understanding the material clearly.

    NMSU has a lot to offer, the textbook is very useful in that it helps understand the hands on activities done in the classroom, but the learning is not bound to that textbook it goes beyond that. the majority of instructors want to see you succeed, they are willing to help you understand the material. there is also a good tutoring center here as well.
    Am enjoying being here

    NMSU is surrounded by Hispanic culture which helps this place be more of a community it is a lot of fun; if your from out of town you will walk into a place that will make your family even bigger. there is plenty of student activities that get you involved with the community and help you get to know others.
    Bang for the buck

    I have a full ride to NMSU, if you are from a family that doesn't have much income there are scholarships, grants and other types of financial aid to help you pay the costs. NMSU is pretty affordable.
    Tips for prospective students

    check out the campus get to know some of the people the school is hands on so give yourself a hands on experience
    Great for these types of students

    People who are visual, hands on, who want to experience a different culture.

    Will learn a lot

    I will be going into industrial engineering this fall, the teachers provided for my classes are very nice and definitely know what they are talking about when asked specific questions. I am looking forward to this semester and I am ready for anything that comes my way.
    Will enjoy being here

    It is very hard to keep your nose in a book 24/7 so when I have time I know I can always find something entertaining on campus as well as in town.
    Tips for prospective students

    I definitely recommend that you find time for everything you do. If you have a test one monday do not go out the weekend before, believe me you will have plenty of time to have fun. School comes first!!

    Here In Las Cruces I am enjoying all the other activites such as football and basketball games even an ocassional movie at the mall movie theater.
    Bang for the buck

    At NMSU there are a lot of deals on books at the bookstore and from other students who are selling the books for reasonable prices
    Tips for prospective students

    Best advice is to engage in as many as study groups and honor societies as possible will help meet people and get help in your classes.
    Great for these types of students

    NMSU is great for all types of students there are so many classes to choose from that will meet your satisfaction and best part is you can pick the times to go to class that will help you schedule your classes around your job

    Am learning a lot

    I grew up in a small town where it was very easy to get by in high school. I never had homework and almost never had to study. Getting into college seemed like it would be extremely hard to adjust to, however I have learned so much on how to be prosperous in college and never fall behind. There are so many teachers and staff members willing to help you with any problem. I have learned so much in only two months and not once have I felt behind or lost.
    Am enjoying being here

    I absolutely love the campus and the town. The town is small enough that the entire campus is on one block. This makes it so much easier to walk to all of my classes and to anything essential I may need to go to. The people are nice and willing to help you.
    Bang for the buck

    The campus financial aid department here worked wonders for me. I do not know where i would go to school if it were not for the help I received from these staff members here. They made it so i never fall behind in debt, yet my monthly payments are small enough that I can accomodate to.
    Tips for prospective students

    Students looking for something that is easy to pay for, all around loads of fun, and always helpful, this is deffinitely a good school to pick.
    Great for these types of students

    The college here offers almost any program and can help almost any student major graduate. Allot of students come to school here for aggriculture or engineering purposes, however there is a pre-med program and many other programs for any type of student. Also, there is always one-on-one help offered by the professors so any time a student has questions or concerns, their teacher is always available and open to helping their students pass.

    Am learning a lot

    New Mexico State provides many learning opportunities and many different styles of teaching. In fact, in my classes at NMSU, I find that I spend a lot of time outside of the classroom gaining hands on experience with people there to guide me every step of the way to ensure that greatest possible learning experience. Most of the professors are very flexible and will go out of their way to see you succeed, whether that means staying after class, meeting in or out of office hours, or making sure your questions are answered before they continue with their lecture.
    Am enjoying being here

    NMSU provides opporutnities both in and out of school for students of all walks of life in the form of student groups, competitive teams, intermural sports, and numerous others. It is very important to get involved in your school and NMSU provides so many opportunities that if you do not find one that fits your needs, you must not be looking. The teachers and staff are friendly and the campus is clean and easy to get around with many forms of transportations services.
    Not only is the school great. The town is as well. Las Cruces in general is very easy to get around and you will find that the people are friendly.
    Bang for the buck

    NMSU is one of the most cost efficient schools in the country, welcoming students from all over the world into its unique atmosphere as it is easier to pay for than numerous other schools while still offering a great education.
    In addition, scholarships are abundant at NMSU and the desire to see their students succeed is reflected in the amount of money that is rewarded to students in the form of scholarships and grants every year.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take advantage of the opportunities and services presented to you by NMSU. Get involved in student groups and organizations and learn as much as you can. Have fun, but most importantly, bring many pairs of shorts, as it rarely gets very cold in Las Cruces at NMSU!!!
    Great for these types of students

    NMSU is great for students who come from a rural community and students who desire the feel of a smaller school with all of the opportunities of a larger university. Students who are seeking a well rounded learning experience that includes both in-class lectures and hands on learning will find that this school fits their needs.

    The campus was beautiful. The classes were challenging, yet reasonable. Most of the teachers were good.

    I had the choice of attending New Mexico State University and University of Texas in El Paso and after visiting the NMSU campus I felt like it was more me. The two campuses are about 40 minutes away but two very different atmospheres. I feel like learning when I'm on campus and I would not have it any other way.

    The campus is very open and the classes are more inviting than one would expect. The educational resources are plentiful and as a state-funded college, the students are placed as a high priority in terms of comfort and convenience. Then classes are surprisingly challenging and teachers are usually very accessible.
    Tips for prospective students

    Go for the full college experience, excluding the drinking and partying. There are plenty of useful resources on campus, so I recommend using them to your full advantage. Finally, a tip for all college prospectives, get ready to buckle down and get to work.
    Academic Rigor

    It depends largely on your teachers, but the workload is very challenging and the teachers usually go out of their way to make the work as interesting and fulfilling as they can. As college work, it takes a lot of willpower to keep up.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are well cared for and very welcoming. However, the true quality of dorm life rests on one's neighbors, so it may vary.
    Food and Dining

    Excellent food and meal plans.
    What to do for fun

    There are a lot of campus groups that sponsor a variety of activities directed at fulfilling student fun. There's always something happening.
    Bang for the buck

    Pre-biased as an in-state student, the school offers a lot of services for a fairly low tuition cost.
    Great for these types of students

    Undecided students or simply students who don't mind variety in their social life or academic repertoire.

    Academic Rigor

    i think the education I'm receiving is worth my money. I've also been getting a lot of hands-on experience with my major. The professors are also very helpful with everything.
    Dorm Life

    I really love my dorm and my roommate. I think your first friend will be your roommate if you get along. Everyone is super nice in the halls.
    Food and Dining

    Eh, college food isn't the best. I think it's better than high school but it really isn't healthy. The freshmen-fifteen myth is true!!
    What to do for fun

    Las Cruces is small but there are many things you can do for fun. Me and friends like to have good fun, for example hiking and camping on the weekends. There's also a lot of parties but I personally prefer the outdoors.
    Bang for the buck

    School is cheaper than many around the country.
    Campus Safety

    Great!

    new mexico state university is a college that is perfect for students who want to have a different college experience. it is perfect because it has diversity in cultures. the university also have a lot of support for those student that need an extra help in their classes.
    Tips for prospective students

    the best tip that i can give to a future students is to maintain a balance in their lives. it is going to be very difficult because they are going to feel that they do not have time for family, friends, and school all at the same time.
    Academic Rigor

    i think this school has well prepared professors that help students as much as they can. they try to have a good communication with student and give their directions as simple as they can.
    Dorm Life

    i do not really like the dorm life because they have a lot of restrictions and rules. i do not think that some rules are necessary. i actually do not like them because they are small and very expensive.
    Food and Dining

    i think that the university do not have enough place to go eat. also all the places to eat closed at 4:00p.m.
    What to do for fun

    in the university there are a lot of organizations that do a lot of creative activities to students. the activity center also provides intramurals.

    new mexico state university is a great public 4-year university in the southwestern united states. there are great opportunities there for not only agriculture studies but also within hard sciences such as physics, chemistry, and biology as well as geology. new mexico is rich in history in this part with plenty of things to see and do (white sands missile range, carlsbad caverns, nm spaceport). finally, this university is a desert flower but is close to texas and mexico (< 1 hour away each).
    Tips for prospective students

    be prepared for a relatively large size city (for new mexico) in the middle of a desert. make sure and follow the advice of those past/current students on where to and where not to reside. the campus has a competent police force and despite your typical rare occuring violent crimes as well as petty property crimes, the overall safety of the students, faculty, and staff is a priority of this department and the city.
    Academic Rigor

    college is what you make of it but let's be honest; a student can make it through courses at any large institution (public level) with relative ease. nmsu is no different as with some teachers, you will be challenged, and with some you will just be filtered through. i vote for challenging one's self!
    Dorm Life

    it has been a while since i have spent a significant amount of time in the dormitories. often student living off-campus is still comparable as both are in somewhat need of upgrades. some campus projects have done that and newer ones are always nicer so just remember, the extra money on a newer dorm on campus may be worth it in the long run.
    Food and Dining

    the food in new mexico is great. do not visit or study in new mexico (especially at nmsu where they have a chile growing research institute!) without receiving your dose of chile. this area and school are famous for green chile as the climate is perfect for it. red has a great taste as well. if you want to play it cool like a local, ask for your burrito christmas to get both red and green. overall dining on campus can be a bit expensive but meal plans are a way to navigate that. have not had a bad meal as of yet.
    What to do for fun

    traveling to mexico used to be the thing to do but that is not that much fun anymore due to current events. don't miss the rivalry games in albuquerque or las cruces as the aggies of nmsu and the lobos of the university of new mexico battle for the rio grande (river that runs through nm and creates part of us-mexico border). again, outdoors like white sands and carlsbad caverns are great. you can actually snowboard or sled on the ranges of white sands! other outdoors activities are hiking, biking, and there is water recreation at elephant butte lake not too far away.

    NMSU has a great curriculum focus. If a student wants to major in PGM Golf Management, they should definitely come here. Also they have a great location for Agriculuture students and anything to do with that area. I am personally there to study Biology, which the school is not necessarily known for, but they aren't bad at it either.
    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy being here at NMSU somewhat. I have made some great friends as well as have joined a Greek fraternity and I am enjoying it very much. On the other hand it is a lot further away from home than I would like, but it is still a fun place to be.
    Bang for the buck

    I would say this is great place to go for any student ad they would definitely get their money's worth. It is a great college to go to just to experience the whole college lifestyle and everything it had to offer.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you want to go to NMSU, It is good to get at least a 3.5 in school so you can get the scholarships needed to help pay for books as well as your tuition. I would also recommend either wanting to study dome kind of science, agriculture, business, or engineering, because this is the school's strong points.
    Great for these types of students

    Academic Rigor

    The classes are taught very well and have learned what is needed in all of them. The professors are for the most part very stern with the syllabus and it is a good thing. None of the professors seem to ever miss class no matter how bad you want them to.
    Am enjoying being here

    I really enjoy to college scene here. The campus is a very nice place and everything you need is conveniently close. Walmart is only a 5 minute drive and there are places to eat in walking distance and on campus. There is a Subway, Taco Bell, Einstein Bagels, and several places to eat between class. The Intramural sports are amazing. If you like almost any sport then you can play them in intramurals against other students.
    Bang for the buck

    The School is good quality for being quite cheap to attend. The on campus housing and meal plan are kind of pricey and you would save a lot of money living off of campus if you have a car or even a bike. The professors are lenient when it comes to text books and sometimes allow a previous edition.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be prepared for a large step from high school. If you don't make time to study every day you will not succeed as easily as in high school. Learn to manage your money and time very wisely and don't spend all your money on ridiculous things. The partying can be a huge distraction even though it does not seem like it. Keep it under control.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for agriculture students and most types of engineers. There are plenty of other majors but those are the 2 NMSU is noted for. If you are okay with being on your own and organized you will do great.

    Am learning a lot

    In my first semester of New Mexico State University, I have learned both beneficial text book material as well as real world lessons.
    As far as classes go, all of my teachers are engaging and full of energy. We have discussions, watch relevant videos, learn how to apply the material to real life, and learn an appreciation for the material we are obtaining. Although my first classes were not difficult, not going to lie, I have learned very interesting things!! The secret to learning is to be willing though.
    But I have not only been learning text book material. I have been learning to time manage better, better handle stress, meet and talk to new people, to manage my money, and so much more!!
    As you go along you learn more and more things that you didn't even know you would or could learn! :)
    Am enjoying being here

    New Mexico State University not only has great off campus life, but great on campus activities.
    Off campus there are many great restaurant choices, a mall, movies theaters, bowling, dances, music shows, festivals, and many other events. There's also the Rio Grande River with a beautiful walking trail, other trails for hiking or biking, work out centers, and churches. There's so much you can do!!
    On campus there are also great and fun activities. Many students as well as families and people from the community tailgate before football games, all the athletic games themselves are fun! Also, there's a fantastic activity center with inter-mural sports, work out classes, rock wall climbing, a bike shop, weight room, and many other physical activity opportunities. Although I'm not in one my self, there are many fraternity and sororities. There are also other clubs including the photography club, pre-health club, chess club, dancing clubs, and you name it!!
    No matter what you'll be able to find something to do.
    Bang for the buck

    My choice of New Mexico State University had a lot to do with financial business. For one, if you maintain a 2.5 or higher, you will receive the lottery scholarship starting your second semester of college. It pays all of tuition. There are also a lot of other scholarship opportunities to help pay for tuition as well as all the other fees that come with college.
    As far as 'bang for the buck,' NMSU isn't the most expensive school so there for is not as extravagant as other ones. But it is still a beautiful, safe, and clean campus. And although I don't live in the dorms or have a meal plan, all my friends seem to enjoy them both.
    Tips for prospective students

    Visit the campus and talk to other people that have already attended the school. Also talk to the staff and faculty of the college to learn more and get extra advice and tips.

    This school is perfect for me because it has the program that I want to get into, which is Nursing. It's near my house but also far away from it so I can experience life as a college student. I know that it will be a heavy major due to all the courses that you need to take to be a Registered Nurse, but the people there are really helpful when you have a question or concern.
    Will enjoy being here

    I will enjoy the campus, how you can walk around to see different views around you, and also how you can take part in various clubs/activities that will help you find out who you are as a person. They will also help you interact with people you normally wouldn't think of talking to, and you get to make great friends in college.
    Bang for the buck

    Something that I learned from being able to visit the campus is that it has a very wide range of buildings on it. You need to go there about a couple of days before your classes begin so you can find out where they all are. Also to find where you can get your food on the way while you're going to your next class, if you have the time.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be sure that you know what major you want to go in, be sure you can handle running around the campus so you can get to your next class, you can handle the professors treating you like an adult to where you have to do everything on your own.
    Great for these types of students

    Living in a small town it is going to be hard for me to adapt to a bigger town. But I will enjoy being able to get out and do more stuff around the city.

    New Mexico State is definitely a college to go to if you don't have much money. The fafsa can almost pay for your tuition for college. Also if you live in New Mexico you can get the lottery scholarship.

    Am learning a lot

    I am learning a lot. I am in the college of arts and sciences and graphic design is my major. I enjoy every class and the teachers are very helpful and want you to succeed.
    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy being in this school. The school is big and is a comfortable place to be in. there is vegetation and a pond. I enjoy nature and walking in school in some of my free time. Also people around are nice.
    Bang for the buck

    I would say is a very good school at an affordable price. It also accepts financial aid so that helps pay for tuition as well.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are a prospective student I would suggest to speak with an adviser that knows about your major, so you can choose your classes wisely. I didn't so I am a little behind.
    Great for these types of students

    This is a great school for all kinds of students since it is a big school it has many options. There are places to hangout and there are quiet places as well. I definitely recommend this school.

    Am learning a lot

    At New Mexico State University, I have been able to get the academic education that is needed for my graduate school however it has also provided me with other valuable opportunities. I am a pre-veterinary medicine students and through the school I have been able to get the hands on education that I feel I would have been missing otherwise. Through these hands on activities, I have also been able to network and meet new professionals in and related to my interests. I am also minoring in digital film making. Through the Creative Media Institute department at NMSU I have been able to expand on my knowledge of film and have been allowed on multiple occasions to practice the techniques we learn about in class immediately. I feel that the education that I am receiving at New Mexico State University is valuable and is adequately preparing me for my future education and professional life.
    Am enjoying being here

    At New Mexico State University, I have been able to learn not only through academics. I have been able to explore my interests in various activities. I joined four clubs and have pursued my interest in each of those. For instance, I am in the New Mexico State University Pre-Veterinary Club to learn about the professional world of veterinary medicine. I am also in the New Mexico State University Triathlon Club to be in a fitness club. New Mexico State University has a plethora of clubs and student organizations. I enjoy everyday at New Mexico State University.
    Bang for the buck

    The education provided is great, the professors work with you within reason in order to help you get the most out of your time in class. There are a multitude of student services such as an on site weight room, and natatorium, however there are academic services such as a tutoring center and financial planning service. Your tuition dollars are well spent as well as you take the time to use all the services.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take advantage of all the services that you can. You will learn a lot through the clubs as well, for instance, I am learning about programming through the New Mexico State University Game Developers Club. Have fun.
    Great for these types of students

    Athletic students will be stimulated both in the classes and on whatever field they may practice on.

    In three sentences

    NMSU is a great school with something for everybody. Good sized classes and great professors. Las Cruces is a college community, which makes it great. My favorite part about NMSU is GreekLife.
    Tips for prospective students

    Dedicate your self to the actual academics. The parties are fun and great, but plentiful. Study, and party works well here, just really study.
    Dorm Life

    Not housed in dorms, tried to not rate but it made me.
    Food and Dining

    Have not had much of Taos, but to what I hear, it's good but gets old fast! Plenty of fast food restaurants nearby.
    What to do for fun

    Join a club, fraternity, sorority, team, or anything and you will always have fun.
    Bang for the buck

    It feels like tuition is high enough, and it keeps going up, however this is a great school for the tuition it charges.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Undie run.
    Great for these types of students

    All. NMSU is a very diverse school.
    Clubs and Activities

    Abundant at NMSU. 200+ campus chartered organizations not including Greek.
    Greek Life

    The Greek Life at NMSU is indescribable. Large part of campus, very active, housing grouped together, our Greek adviser pushes hardest for unity between the organizations. Tons of fun!
    Campus Safety

    Generally pretty safe. I have seen a few things but NMSU police usually take care of things pretty well.
