Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Music - Performance  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Super Brilliant If you are interested in music DO NOT COME TO NEW MEXICO STATE. They faculty are not concerned with your success, in fact the don't even think thats part of their job. Most of the day the spend preparing for ocncerts or events outside the department, and if they have any time left, they MIGHT prepare for one of their classes. There are few bright spots, but overall the program is garbage. The accounting department repeatedly charged me for services I never used and I paid for FOUR different classes that never met, and I got an A in all four! If you want to become a quality musician, DO NOT COME TO NEW MEIXCO STATE! Preparedness: B-, Reputation: F Have a Question?

I moved to New Mexico to attend NMSU fully aware that it was a 'small college town'. What I was not aware of was the low school spirit, the minimal existence of out-of-class activities, and the prominent presence of two different types of people - Mexicans and hicks. I have nothing against them, but it wasn’t the social/party/intelligent scene I was looking for. I lived off campus for the first two years, and on campus the final two years. I moved into campus dorms hoping to get more involved in the social life of a college for which I felt hopeful. I found very little. The dorm rooms were practically empty. Good if you want to be alone with your girlfriend (I found an extremely smart, beautiful one), bad if you want to meet new people. Students here are not nearly as open, outspoken, or active as I was expecting and hoping. I think this is partly because mostly catholic Mexicans and country hicks from Texas inhabit this ‘small college town’. Not very fun for a guy with an open mind and a fun-loving heart. Moreover, I must note, the girls here are certainly, and without a doubt, much, much more closed off and anti-social than California girls. It is hard to get even a smile out of them. I think this is because the Mexican culture, in general, is much more controlling and protective over their women. Which is a positive if you have a Mexican girlfriend, but makes it dam hard to find the right outgoing and friendly people. As far as after school activities? A joke. On the rare occasion that an out of school activity would occur, such as a hypnotism show or local band show, ten to thirty people max would show up. Looking back, I wish I had attended a school like University of Arizona or San Diego State University. If you are intuitive enough, you will know just by walking around NMSU how the energy levels are extremely low in comparison to a more social campus. My advice - before you spend two to four years at a college, get to know EVERYTHING you can about a college before you attend: how the atmosphere feels, the types of students who attend, the amount of after school activities, the surrounding city, etc. etc. Preparedness: -, Reputation: D+ Have a Question?

I have been on interships with Princeton, LANL and NASA, and have found the education I recieved was easily on par with students of schools such as CMU and MIT. I have also heard comments from advisors in these programs that NMSU has a great repuation for producing quality engineers. I couldn't agree more. I will say that the Engineering Physics Degree, and the Electrical Engineering degree are very difficult, lab intensive and requires a great deal of late night studying. Be prepared to work hard if you want to lead your class. Education Quality: A+, Useful Schoolwork: B- Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.
