Western New Mexico University

Really beautiful campus! And the people I asked for directions etc were super nice. The museum on campus is awesome 👍 …

Fabulous collection of Pueblo pottery from southwest New Mexico. Free! Helpful staff. Go soon!

I enrolled in the online Master’s in Mental Health Counseling program at WNMU, and unfortunately, my experience was largely negative. The assignments felt repetitive, and communication with professors was extremely limited—emails often went unanswered, and there was no alternative way to get clarification. While the program is affordable, the lack of support and overall disorganization made it a frustrating experience. Education is too important to me to compromise on quality, and I wouldn’t recommend this program to those seeking meaningful engagement and guidance in their studies.

Super friendly and beautiful campus

Great school. Small campus. Fantastic dorms.

Only a few good professors, no rigor in the curriculum. Most students have to take remedial English and Math in the first year. Only decent department may be nursing but no guarantees. Howie Morales and others on the staff are leeches on the gov't payroll; nepotism runs rampant. 24% graduation rate - what more do I have to say?

Biggest mistake of my life was coming here. Professor moved away putting my graduation on hold for years. When I switched majors to avoid this I was prohibited from getting anything but Fs by a biased individual despite another professor telling me I was the best writer in the entire university. Really ruined my life with debt and nothing to show. This makes me feel now that they leeched away any potential future I had which was of course the opposite of my intention going in.

The records department is extremely difficult to get a hold of and seemed to not want to help with issues regarding prior classes and transcripts needed to attend a senior college. My email was ignored for a week before I heard a response and then a vague non informed email was sent back with no explanation or solution to my problem.

Three years ago I had the pleasure of building the football field for WNMU, it was awesome to be welcomed back to build their softball field...hope they enjoy!!

We did a mile walk for veterans (which i a one) and every one was friendly. I took my dog and all the people loved him. And this campus is amazin.
