The best thing about the University of New Mexico Architecture school was the facility. Designed by a famaous architect Antoine Predock, it's conceptual background stemmed from creating a socially engaging studio space for architecture student to communicate new ideas. Beside the studios, the computer lab and fabrications lab are filled with some of the most advanced technological equipment in the country, which is rare for such an unkown architecture program in the United States.

The University of New Mexico is a very diverse campus, most likely the most diverse four year degree granting college in the state of New Mexico. So far I have had the chance to explore many of the awesome and challenging classes here at UNM such as, Western Religions, Art History, and Folk and Fairy Tales.

The scholarship opportunities. UNM has been instrumental in allowing me to afford a higher education.

The best thing about the University of New Mexico is the availability of the professors. There is a constant outreach to students to become involved in extra-curricular activities that will expand their college experience and better prepare them for their future life endeavors. The encouragement for students to engage in opportunities such as on-campus activities, a major cancer hospital, and on-going research is irreplaceable and is valued long after graduation day.

I think we get a very personal experience at UNM. The people are generally nice and the teachers for the most part care about what they're teaching. It's a really nice campus and it's environmentally friendly.

One thing I like about UNM campus is that the environment is taken into great consideration. There are recycle bins at almost every corner and the campus is smoke free. They even have transportation called the veggie bus that runs off vegetable oil.

What makes UNM unique is its’ ability to integrate the state’s traditions and architecture into the college. The buildings are adobe style which is something you don’t see in other parts of the country. The type of architecture really is true to the south-west which is good considering that it is the university of the state and should try and express the essence of New Mexico. In addition, the state has a deep traditions dating back to the college’s foundation in 1889. Traditions at UNM include Hanging of the Greens and Burning of the Aggie. Hanging of the Greens is when different organization light luminarias all over the university. Burning of the Aggie is when Lobo Spirit builds a large Aggie to burn before our rival game.

UNM's strongest academic programs include Business, Pre-Med, Medicine, Pre-Law, and Law. I believe that these are the strongest attributes of UNM because not only are these programs highly accredited and carefully planned, but they also help you to understand culture and teach you skills that are essential to these fields. The professors also will take the time to help you understand the material and try to encourge the students to deepen their understand of topics.

I consider the selection of classes and majors offered at the University of the New Mexico one of the best aspects at this school. With this wide variety of classes offered, a person can really find something they love and conitnue their education with that passionate subject. Choosing a major is hard when you are an incoming freshman, so there are ways to experiment with different types of classes to find out what it is that person wants to study and do for the rest of his or her life.

I would have to consider the best thing at my school is the many faculty and staff that are willing to help you with any questions or problems you have. Being an incoming freshman in college I don't know much about how college works but there is offices, websites, one-on-one, etc... to actually help you with whatever you need. Also they provide programs for just about eveyrthing a college student deals with in the real world.

The best thing about the school that I am attending is the overall environment. It is laid back but yet professional and makes you want to be there. It is inviting and friendly. It makes you want to go to school.

The best thing about UNM is the fact that you get to meet new people every class. It is a big university but there is still a sense of belonging to something like a department or class or group.
