Make sure to fill out your free application for financial aid each year. Make regular appointments with Academic Advisers to make sure you're on track with your goals as well. CNM is a judgement free zone so if you need help ask! There is free tutoring and teachers offer office hours where you can ask additional questions. The teachers are amazing and I love every minute spent at CNM.

If you are looking for a school where people care about you, than this is the school for you.

I hightly recommand that you really decided and go with a major you are willing to fulfill and presue. Keep up with homework, class assignments and just have fun with learning. Always plan ahead.

Apply to classes as soon as possible because they do fill fast!!

I discovered this year that taking morning and night classes at CNM main campus in Albuquerque when I live in Rio Rancho is not very smart. If you are a CNM student and live more than 20 minute from main campus do not take classes first thing in the morning or after 4:30. The traffic is horrendous this time of day. Also finding parking at main campus is very tricky. Around 8 am the parking lots tend to fill up and don't start emptying until around 6-7 pm.
