University of New Mexico Reviews

"UNM is an amazing school, which challenges its students and provides them with multiple avenues and media of study."

"The UNM School of Law is one of the most diverse, student-centered, and affordable law schools in the country. The faculty are amazing and the staff is more than willing to offer support to students. When deciding which law schools to apply to, the UNM School of Law quickly became my number one priority. Located in beautiful Albuquerque, New Mexico, the law school is perfect for students who love the outdoors. The only cons I have encountered so far include a rather small pool of scholarships and financial aid to low-income students. I highly recommend the UNM School of Law to any students pursuing a J.D.Read Less"

"They are very innovative in integrating practical immersion experiences into the curriculum. This enables students to learn in a dynamic way that emphasis ability to lead and work in groups effectively."

"This is one of the most supportive programs in the country. They do all they can to produce competent professionals."

"The faculty and administration are very supportive and go out of their way to help students succeed. The school is very focused on primary care almost to the exclusion of some important specialties"

"This program is very competitive and challenging but worth it. The faculty is amazing and everyone is really willing to help you out to ensure that you succeed. This school was my first choice and I'm very fortunate to have the chance to work on my Doctor of Pharmacy degree here."

"I had first enrolled in another graduate program before going to UNM. In comparison, I have enjoyed the convenience of location, peer support, graduate staff assistance, and superior academic/professor guidance and support."

"UNM's M.Arch program is very intimate and expects a lot from the students. It provides real world challenges and problems for the students to engage and learn. the size of the program allows for a very close relationship with the professors and faculty and fellow students. the program has amazing facilities and provides a very value packed education."

"Few professors are interested in assisting outside of their courses. Internships are mandatory but the provide little to no assistance with acquiring an internship. The professors are knowledgeable in their fields. They are extremely open to meeting outside of class time to answer questions and are willing to do so outside of their office hours. A lot of the professors are very good about responding to emails and answering questions that way."

"I love the University of New Mexico. I received my undergrad here. Tuition is comparatively very inexpensive. UNM isn't too competitive in admissions, so pretty much anyone can get into grad or undergrad here."

"Good program, can improve: -diversity of the faculty - number of Scholarship for students"

"The relatively small class size (75 students) and the large size of our faculty results in a low student-to-faculty ratio throughout the entire four years of medical school . This results in a greater attention by faculty and residents to students in both the basic and clinical sciences and the ability of students to have a higher number of quality clinical experiences. Along with lectures, laboratory sessions and clinical rotations, we have an internationally acclaimed student-centered, problem-based learning (PBL) tutorial program that uses medical cases to integrate biological, behavioral and population perspectives into our curriculum.One of only a handful of medical school programs in the country that requires a research experience to graduate, the UNM School of Medicine provides our medical students with the opportunity to carry out a project in a laboratory, clinical or public health setting with a faculty mentor in the School of Medicine or in the community.Read Less"

"Very helpful so far. All staff are professional and friendly. It is hard to get to the campus, but the online option is great."

"My program (Physician Assistant) is very competitive and gives high quality education. Cons would be getting limited information about program details for day to day schedule and support in the program before starting."

"The CE Graduate Program at UNM is a wonderful and challenging program filled with professors who are always willing to take the time to help you. The actual Albuquerque area can be a little sketchy though, the police department has been criticized for it's overuse of violence and the public transportation afforded here is pretty much non-existent."

"I felt the professors were very approachable, friendly, and helpful. The department, in the School of Education, was very disorganized, however; and I often received conflicting messages."

"I'm enrolled in an MPA program at the School of Public Administration. I'm actually really pleased with the program and I have no complaints except for the cost of education."

"The LLSS graduate program in Bilingual Education is great. The professors are accessible and fantastic mentors and the tuition cost is unbeatable."

"Early clinical exposure and affordability are great. Phase I lectures are very hit or miss."

"The Physician Assistant Program at the University of New Mexico has many positive aspects. The emphasis placed on community and rural healthcare; the academic approach of Problem Based Learning tutorials; the success rate of the program as evidenced by the PANCE pass rates of alumni; the small class size; the individual attention granted to students; and the percentage of students retained in New Mexico practicing primary care are all reasons the University of New Mexico Physician Assistant program is one worth attending. Like all programs, the Physician Assistant Program at UNM is also associated with a few cons. For instance, due to the small size of the program, the competition for admission is steep. Few, if any, out- of-state residents ever get admitted. Also, the program, relatively recently, had been put on probation. This however, may prove to be a pro for the Physician Assistant program rather than a con, as they have now received better funding and increased administrative staff to address accreditation issues. Overall, I’d say the pros of the University of New Mexico Physician assistant Program far outweighed any cons.Read Less"
