Review of New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology
from Socorro, NM
Do you feel you’re learning a lot?
Academic excellence is a hallmark of this institution. Essentially all of the professors have PhDs and are experts in their respective fields. If you would like to be the best, you would do well to learn from the best. The academics are rigorous but with help from the professors and New Mexico Tech's Center for Student Success, there is plenty of help to be had if one is struggling with a particular class.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Socorro is a small town, but all the people are friendly. For the most part both students and faculty tend to stay on or near campus so there is a strong sense of community between the entire campus. It's very easy to get involved at NMT; an excellent Student Association supports a wide variety of clubs, both social and athletic.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
New Mexico Tech is a top-notch institution, one that is world-renowned and valued as one of the best by many. The cost of attending NMT is remarkably low though, pretty close to the lowest in the area for a 4-year program and by far the lowest in the region for the excellent quality of education that you will receive.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I highly recommend NM Tech. There isn't ten thousand students and there aren't parties 24/7 but the education you will receive will carry you to the peak of science and engineering. The classes are hard, but they are completely manageable with a bit of patience and effort. Don't be afraid to join study groups and go in for help if you are struggling. The professors give hard work but not because they want you to fail but rather because they want you to succeed.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
NM Tech is mainly a science and engineering school. Although, you don't need to be a complete genius at physics to do well and get a quality degree. If you have a real dedication to learning science and engineering, Tech is the place for you. While the academic programs at NMT are mainly focused on science and engineering, there are also a few programs such as Information Technology and Business Management.
