Insights on New Mexico State University's vibe?

Hey guys, struggling a little here. I'm considering New Mexico State University and I've just realized that it's not just about the programs but also the student life. I don't quite know how the student life feels there. Are there any current students or alums who can share their experiences both academically and socially?

As an academic advisor, I've had students tell me about their experiences at New Mexico State University (NMSU). In terms of academics, many believe the professors to be knowledgeable and approachable. The classes tend to be small, especially at the upper-division level, providing you with a chance for better connection with the faculty and your peers. NMSU offers a broad range of programs, so you'll likely have the chance to explore different fields before settling on one that interests you.

Socially, the vibe at NMSU is typically described as friendly and welcoming. There's always something going on, whether it's a game, club meeting, or event on campus. A lot of attention is paid to sporting events, so if you're into sports, you'll enjoy the active fan base. One ongoing event you might look forward to is the farmer's market that takes place every week on campus, providing you with a chance to buy local products and interact with fellow students and faculty.

Don't forget to look into the Aggie traditions! They have a whole list of them including a freshman convocation and a night when students get together to light luminarias around the campus during the holiday season.

Remember, visiting the campus (virtually or physically) and speaking directly to students can also give you a better feel of the vibe at NMSU. You could also reach out to the admission's office and they might be able to connect you with a current student who could share their experiences. Hope this helps in your college decision journey!
