What Students Are Saying

Eastern New Mexico University is really like a home away from. The community is small but the people make things so much better. Always remember, it is what you make it.
Braylon from Houston, TX
I had originally planned on going to UNM or NMSU and I'm so glad I chose to come here. This school has a nice campus and teachers that really seem to care about the students. It also has a great choir director.
Tori from Rio Rancho, NM
I rate Eastern New Mexico University a 7, because the classes are the perfect size. There is a ton of friendly people to help with any needs. The administration helps in anyway possible. Great School!
