The University of New Mexico is a great university; it is very diverse. I guarantee that you will find yourself immersed in different cultures. The people here are amazing, I'm currently doing work-study here at the university and I love it. The teachers do not like for students to fail, always visit them during their office hours. They will go out there way to help you as long as you give effort in trying to succeed. There are many resources for students available and for students to succeed. They have CAPS, which is tutoring center opened to students for free.
