New Mexico Junior College (NMJC) has been a transformative experience for my education. The college offers a supportive and affordable environment, perfect for students seeking quality education without overwhelming debt.
The instructors are deeply invested in student success. With smaller class sizes, I’ve received personalized attention that has made a significant difference in my understanding of course material. The faculty are approachable and passionate, creating a positive learning atmosphere.
As an accounting student, I’ve found the coursework to be practical and directly applicable to real-world situations. The college provides excellent resources like the Pannell Library and tutoring services, which have been essential for my academic progress.
The campus is modern, well-maintained, and welcoming. Beyond academics, NMJC encourages involvement through clubs and events, helping students feel connected to the community.
Financially, NMJC has been a lifesaver. Affordable tuition, combined with access to scholarships and state grants, has allowed me to focus on my studies without financial strain. For students like me returning to school to achieve their goals, this support is invaluable.
Overall, New Mexico Junior College has exceeded my expectations. It’s a place where students are empowered to grow academically and personally. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality education in a nurturing environment. NMJC has given me the confidence and tools to succeed in my academic and professional journey, and I’m grateful for the opportunities it has provided.
Matthew
New Mexico Junior College is the institution I am attending for my final two years of high school, as I am part of an Early College program for my school. It has been a wonderful experience and a great opportunity to begin my college career far earlier than I normally could. The facilities are clean, orderly, and maintained. The learning environment is exemplary and the professors excellent. I would strongly recommend this junior college for anyone going for their Associate's degrees.
Kennadee
New Mexico junior college is a great place to further your education. The campus is small enough to navigate but big enough for everything that is needed. The professors are very interactive and I have never had a bad experience with anyone. The class sizes are small and allow for great one on one learning and small group study’s that I find very beneficial. Overall New Mexico Junior College is a safe and comfortable learning environment that I have grown to love.
Morgan
I love New Mexico Junior College. I am not a huge fan of the town because there is nothing to do here but the college always has some kind of event to keep the students entertained. Although they do not have many sports teams, when it comes to sporting events they are usually fun to attend. I am a transfer student but find that the professors are more caring and work with you when you do not understand things. I am proud to be apart of the NMJC.
Berenice
New Mexico junior college is a great start for students to begin higher education. It offers small classes and cheap tuition. There are also many clubs available such as; theater club or an honor society. It’s a nice knit community. The staff and faculty are very helpful.

It is a great Junior College to attend, campus is just the right size. Some of the classrooms could be upgraded. Great staff! Small town so not much to do, ok restaurants. Very reasonably priced for a better than average education. Very convenient if you live in or around Hobbs!
Ranim
I love my current school, I think everyone that goes there feels the same. I love the diversity and the different nationalities, it helps me meet people from all around the world and learn their different cultures. I'm glad that I had the chance to be a student in New Mexico Junior College.
Mariyah
New Mexico junior college is filled with great professors, and wonderful classmates. Professors are almost always available, if you need the help then professors will be there to help out. Our school is so small that it is easy to make friends. I encourage those who are new to junior college that you get involved as much as you can. It will help you make lots of friends and college is enjoyable, it is supposed to be fun so enjoy college while you are there.
Emily
My overall opinion of New Mexico Junior College is very good! I like the college a lot because the professors do not recognize students as numbers, they see them as people and do the best of their ability to make sure the students are where they need to be and always help them do better.
Courtney
I enjoy the close knit community. Pretty much you walk around campus and know a lot of people but we also have people from all over the world. It is a great place to meet new people but it is also a very safe environment. I do wish we had more sports and activities to do but we make do with what we have.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I would have given myself the advice to be more prepared than I already was. I tried to prepare myself financially, mentally, etc. for the transition, but being more prepared would have helped greatly. I did not recieve financial aid, so I knew it would be tough, but I believe if I would have started saving up money before my senior year I would have been better off financially. Also, I would say talk to the school counselors more and the teachers in my major in order to become fimiliar with the campus and staff. Knowing the teachers and who to talk to is an important factor in order to stay on track.
Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.
NMJC is a great college. Here at the college there is very nice people that like to help me in any way they can. I am pleased in how the instructors treat the students and how they teach. The apartments I live in here at the college are like our homes. The workers at the apartment respect me and the rest of the students. I am glad I chose the NMJC to attend and stay on campus. It could not get any better.
The classmates I have are nice. They also help me in any way they can. Here at the NMJC we students help everyone to success. I could not have better classmates then here at the New Mexico Junior College.
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I wish I would have known about all the organizations in the school before hand. For example, I am now in Student Support Services. If I would have known about this organization before I began shcool I would have signed up then. It is a great organization in helping and aiding students with multiple ordeals.
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
I have not discovered anything horribly bad about my school so far. I believe the school could have a little bit more communication with one others departments in order to provide better service to the students and/or prospective students. Communication is key.
