    Its a small college.
    The teachers are very helpful due to the small class sizes.
    It could use more funds for a little bit of a better environment.
    Tips for prospective students

    This is a great college for more of a teacher student relationship. Some of the students population is a little immature for their age. But this could also just be more noticeable because of the more condensed area. It also has very good chances for work study opportunities.
    Academic Rigor

    I think that some of the classes that I've taken so far have been dumbed down a bit for college classes.
    Dorm Life

    Students are immature for their age.
    Food and Dining

    The food is mediocre everyday cafeteria food. Nothing great but its what i would expect for cafeteria food.
    What to do for fun

    For fun there is a recreation room that has a pool table couches and T.V''s. Other than that there is downtown Silver City that is just a few blocks away. There is also a newly build skate park for those that like to skate and are looking to challenge themselves. This community also provides great resources for those that enjoy the out doors. you can go hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and even enjoy some hot springs. And if your looking for more of some big city fun there is Las Cruses and El Paso just a few hours away.
    Bang for the buck

    Western is a very cheap college that provies a very good nursing program. It also has some great very nice teachers.
    Great for these types of students

    Students that like a more one on one relationship with their teachers. Students with little money, and studnets that enjoy a more peaceful atmosphere.
    Campus Safety

    There is hardly any dangerous accidents or activity that I have seen or heard at this university. Compare to some other colleges I feel completely at home and safe here.

    Western New Mexico University provided an excellent opportunity for returning students via online/ distance learning. My student advisor makes herself available with any questions and concerns I have.
    Tips for prospective students

    Prepare for each class as appropriate and study hard. Request assistance from your professor or college advisor immediately if you are having difficulties.
    Academic Rigor

    In terms of academic rigor, the graduate level classes can be quite intense. A student has to make certain that he or she is adequately prepared by following the reading assignments and adequately preparing for quizzes and tests.
    Dorm Life

    I currently do not reside in the dorms.
    Food and Dining

    Does not pertain to me.
    What to do for fun

    I receive various emails in regards to social events held at the college, but have not had the opportunity to attend as I am an online student. But it does appear to me that the college has the best interest of the students in mind.

    Am learning a lot

    With low student teacher ratio, it is very easy to get the attention needed to understand the material in the classrooms.
    Am enjoying being here

    Its a small town that is fighting against being a retirement home and a college town.
    Bang for the buck

    Pretty Campus, Weather is good. windy but good. the campus is also small and not spread out. Easy walking distance
    Tips for prospective students

    its a low key college. Everything is relaxed and nothing is really a rush.
    Great for these types of students
