    Am learning a lot

    I have the best instructor in the world. She always keeps us motivated.
    Am enjoying being here

    The students are great and staff is friendly
    Bang for the buck

    Very cheap.
    Tips for prospective students

    Sign up for classes early. There are limited spots open for degree type classes. This school has a curriculum built for certificates.
    Great for these types of students

    Students looking to get back in to school after dropping out, or students who are not ready for a four year university or do not yet qualify for a four year university.

    Central New Mexico has a low student to teacher ratio making your learning experience more intricate and effective. They offer a wide range of programs from Nursing degrees to construction degrees. Central New Mexico genuinely care about your education and are easy to contact and discuss degree programs, and your needs to succeed to fulfill your goals.
    Tips for prospective students

    Talk to an Advisor. They will get you accepted to the school, set you up with a class schedule that meets your degree program, and give you advice on future schooling plans if necessary. They are very helpful and you will walk out of the office feeling ready to get on with your schooling.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes are comparible to any other university. Some professors are extremely hard and others teach easy subjects. You can get a great education out of the college.
    Dorm Life

    There are no On Campus Dorms, however, there are dozens of apartment complexes in the university area close to both the University of New Mexico and Central New Mexico. Great area that is close to classes, restaurants, and night life.
    Food and Dining

    There is everything as far as food and dining in the immediate area. Anywhere from fast food to fine dinings is walking distance.
    What to do for fun

    There are several different large parks nearby for outdoor activities, there are bike paths for exercise or fun, and there is movie theatres close by as well.
    Bang for the buck

    Tuition is extremely cheap comparitively to the amount of knowledge you get every semester. Cheap education, proven by Central New Mexico, is not always an indicator of quality of education.
    Campus Safety

    Security is always on campus with many deputies monitoring parking lots, buildings, and surrounding areas.

    i would rate cnm an 8 out of 10. they offer alot of tutoring sessions. teachers know your name because classes are small.
    Academic Rigor

    the same as a university just with more hands on learning.
    Dorm Life

    no dorms at cnm.
    Food and Dining

    not all campuses have a cafeteria. i go to two different campuses for cnm. the one with a cafeteria has pretty good food.
    Bang for the buck

    cnm is pretty affordable for the most part and you really do get a great education. everything is more hands on than at unm and sometimes being more hands on is better.
    Campus Safety

    the campuses are not too big and they all have those emergency buttons all over the parking lot. it also has great lighting if you are taking night classes.

    Am learning a lot

    I have had some amazing professors here. In general this college has really challenged me and given me an education closer to what I would expect from a University, and in some cases better than you find at UNM.
    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy the class size and variety of online classes. But since my goals require a 4 year degree and Masters, I need to attend UNM to continue.
    Bang for the buck

    Most teachers are very good, although some have checked out a bit. But the cost is so low that even a bad class isn't a total waste.

    Central New Mexico Community College is a great beginning for students that want to put their aptitude of learning to test; a great starter college. It has easy access to all student services in one general area, with excellent staff and instructors who actually care about educating their students, and excellent opportunities in work-study for students who are eligible. Central New Mexico Community College is also affordable.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be self-sufficient and ask a lot of questions to get the answers you need to know to have a successful future with the college. Apply for all scholarship available and talk with financial aid for any other opportunities for other scholarships. Please, talk with an advisor for the best possible goals for what you want as a career in life and be careful that you do meet all financial aid requirements by filling out the FASFA student on time. Take advantage of all the programs that are available to students such as: special services for students with disability (physical and mental), tutoring services, honor society and other programs.
    Academic Rigor

    I find that in order to be successful you have to apply your own personal ability to get what you want out of the education provided. The instructors are great, all you have to do is make the time to get to know them and talk to them for any extra work you may need.
    Dorm Life

    No dorm life, all students live off campus.
    Food and Dining

    There is food and dining available within the main building of the campus. I would rate the food to be excellent and readily available for students on the go. Staff are great also.
    What to do for fun

    There are many things you can do for fun. There are movie theaters, golf courts, roller skating rinks, bowling, hiking, tramway rides, and many other fun activities that go on year round in the Albuquerque metro area. The balloon fiesta is always the main attraction every October. It is awesome.
    Bang for the buck

    I would say that success is achieved in college through the students' motivation and hard work through studies and self-discipline. You are basically deciding on your own to get an education. I know it is a great start for a great career and I say that it is an investment for life.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for both, in-state and out-of-state students who are thinking of attending an affordable college before entering a university. It is also great for students that need the extra help in academic status, like getting a GED or adults that are returning to college and are intimidated by Universities and want an introductory through college first.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are clubs that one can join like: Native American Club, Honor Society (Phi Kappa Beta), TRIO program, Leadership clubs, Writing clubs, and they also have other fun activities like learning chess. It is also a great opportunity to volunteer and get credits for it while in college; Student Learning Service center.
    Campus Safety

    Central New Mexico has security that watch the campus everyday and at night. They will escort students to cars upon request and they provide excellent immediate response services in case of emergencies. They also monitor classrooms and building constantly to maintain order.

    CNM employs educated instructors who take time to help you. This is a smaller environment which is typically 20-30 students per class. Online classes are prevalent which allows more space in the classroom.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take time to attend the FREE workshops offered weekly. Get to know your instructors so that they may guide you in the appropriate direction.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes offered provide appropriate introduction into the subject. The classwork includes lectures, in-class assignments, group work and one-on-one opportunities with the instructor on an appointment basis. Online classes offer research, intense reading, writing assignments and assessments which are expected to be completed in a weeks time. Procrastination or cramming is not advised. Discipline and time management courses are recommended for anyone who is unsure of their self-disipline techniques.
    Food and Dining

    The food court has a great variety of snacks, drinks and a chef who will offer the menu of the day.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who are re-entering the college scene from a long absence will be extremely successful considering they now value time & discipline which will promote a smooth transition.
