Best choice I ever made!

This is a school where you definitely need to live on or near campus to have optimal success.

UNM is a good school. The location is pretty sketchy and would be considered on the "bad" side of town. There's tons of homeless people around campus and several crime reportings around campus. Housing was great, there's a lot of opportunities around campus to make friends. It was cheap considering I was out-of-state, but still fairly pricey.

UNM's the best school in NM, hands down, and one of the better ones in the Southwest. If you're interested in health, engineering, history, film, architecture, or teaching, this is an excellent choice. The admin can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but if you're a smart person, you'll survive just fine, likely thrive. Great for intro/ambiverts.

UNM has some very strong programs and some very weak ones. Make sure to check the different entry and graduation rates for each college. Some have about a 20% success rate. It is a good place to find clubs in school, and does have some great food all around it. The buildings are pretty diverse in how nice they are, some are beautiful others aren't.

Very good college. Inexpensive and incredibly high quality.

Nice campus, I love UNM

I love UNM, it has plenty of diverse people and plenty of options in terms of classes. I enjoy the location because downtown and Nob Hill have plenty of cool local spots to hang out and eat. The people and the professors are high quality people, I very much enjoy UNM. Central can be a bit dangerous, I would emphasize caution.

Great place to go to school. Guaranteed to make lifelong friends and come across great opportunities. Crime is bad in the area, but like anything, make good judgement. Teachers are willing to work with you and emphasize communication.

UNM is hugely underrated. There are certain departments that are disorganized or lacking, but not to a degree that is atypical for even a higher ranking school. On the flipside, the BLA/BIS programs shouldn't be overlooked as self-designed major programs. If you're not used to urban life, the area will be scary but it's not that bad.

A great place to get an education at a low cost.
