Good reviews
Overall 4.3
NMSU-A is hands down the most underrated chapters of New Mexico State University. The STEM classes this community colleges offer are top notch and the learning environment is the friendliest I've ever seen in a college. The amount of help available to students makes it difficult to not succeed with rare exceptions. High value education.
Overall 4.2
Great campus with amazing professors. Smaller campus with smaller classes, so it's more intimate. Excellent resources available.
Bad reviews
Overall 1.8
New Mexico State University at Alamogordo is a poorly run school. Courses and Degrees do not transfer easily (and this is important for a 2-year community college). No nursing program to speak of. No education degree. Majority of the teachers are part-time. Administration is not involved with students and does not address student needs.

Faculty is "untouchable." Students are not allowed to complain without being attacked by the bulldog at the front gate who is impersonating a student success officer. No money mean mediocre teachers and a compromised education. Terrible!
