I love this college, depending on the major it is a lot of work. But I could not ask for a better college and learning experience then NMSU, the food is amazing despite what people say. Only thing is that sucks here are the vending machines. Lets go Aggies!

What a great school. This is easily one of the most underrated schools out there, no surprise since New Mexico isn't a big name place. This is the third University I've attended, my previous 2 universities ranked highly, top in the nation, and NMSU has beaten them all in the opportunities that are provided for students.

I am love coming NMSU. All my professors are excellent and they really care about their students' success. Lots of Socializing going on. Aggie's Rock. I am enrolled in TRIO SSS and everybody there is phenomenal. Compared to other Universities the tuition per class is very good, on the low side of the spectrum. I am very glad I chose NMSU.

New Mexico State University's College of Business provides high quality content and guided learning at a fraction of the cost. I have lived in other states and continued my education online with New Mexico State to get the quality education I have come to expect.

NMSU has given me many opportunities with my academics and the various clubs I'm apart of. The people are very warm and welcoming and the campus is very safe! When the pandemic happened I was devastated to leave.

Bad reviews
Overall 1.1
Staff members are never friendly or helpful. From the people in finances to the professors themselves. 4 years here and they switch my advisor every semester or every other semester. Every advisor has given me misinformed information on my credits and classes. No support for students, such as myself going through financial and health crisis.
Overall 1.3
The school does not care about the students at all. There is no support from professors or administration. There are not many opportunities as it is not a well-known school. It is cheaper than other universities, but not a penny spent here is worth it. I partially blame myself for going here, I should have transferred.

Does not refund for withdraw from courses. Unresponsive to inadequate instructors. Online courses are often unavailable & staff do not do their jobs! This is my last semester with this college! I'm transferring because I value my GPA and want to get my degree sometime this century...

Coming to NMSU was the worst decision I have ever made. So many things wrong with my dorm room that the school would not fix, and ICT blamed my BRAND NEW Macbook for the internet not connecting in my room. The faculty is so rude and never wants to help. I will be transferring out of NMSU and going to UNM to get out of this hell hole school!!!
Overall 1.9
The school doesn't understand how a budget works. No one seems to get that the students are not going to keep suffering under stolen grants and financial aid, an ill reputable football team, and a lack of general safety and concern for anyone attending. The flow of classes has a chokehold by tenured professors so disconnected, own department can't

Nmsu firstly has a notoriously bad math department. My own anecdotal evidence when speaking to admin about giving the students some help during covid just shows how uncaring nmsu is. I used to look up to nmsu but it seems like they just want money and they don't care about the students ( admin not individual profs). Nmsu has gone down.
