UNMLA is a great place to start off. It's much cheaper than UNM main campus, and everyone who works there from the professors to the front desk staff are very helpful and friendly. I recommend it to anyone living in northern New Mexico.

If Los Alamos and UNM cared about more about UNM-LA this could be an amazing place. Right now both treat UNM-LA with great indifference
