  • Helpful and generally very under-rated professors. A few aren't so great, but many are wonderful and more than happy to help during office hours. Classes above the 101 level are very reasonably sized. The staff is stressed and over-worked but I don't think that it is their fault. I find that the best professors are at the community college, so if you can take a class there, instead, it will likely be a bargain and you will receive more personalized attention. Like any university it has its strengths and weaknesses, but my experience was positive, for the most part. They also have many wonderful visiting speakers, artists and musicians. I wish there were more varied options as far as accredited programs. However I really liked and learned from most of my teachers. It really depends on how much effort that you, as a student put into engaging with the material and seeking help with your professor if needed. Many professors went out of their way for me, once they knew who I was and that I was trying my best, even if I was completely lost. I think at many larger or more famous universities they don't have as much time for you, and at NMSU, where some departments may be lacking in the newest, most state of the art, fancy stuff, you will have all the attention and help that you need to reach your academic goals and reach for the stars as far as going to conferences and finding advice on getting published or whatever else you need, which lead to professional achievement that made it special for me. I am so glad that I went there.
  • Beautiful campus with lots of trees and grass. Awesome weather with almost no winter. Cheaper than UNM (a lot cheaper) and the people are a lot nicer. Cost of living is low, which makes school and living more affordable. Quality education at a great price.
