Great for serious students, not much to do in Socorro, but you can always spend weekends, hiking, camping or travel outside the community. Stick close to campus. Best not to date locals.

New Mexico Tech is unquestionably the best choice for any STEM oriented student in New Mexico. The programs are difficult and are constantly challenging you to do better. I always found support from the right professors. Some professors will even help you with other classes they don't teach! It's in the middle of nowhere, but really a good place.

Great school, plenty of clubs and opportunities, it's up to you to find them. Location gives easy access to other more enjoyable locations. Food is over criticized, there is plenty of choices that are good.

Although the school is located in an unpopulated area, the quality of the education is top notch. The teachers are excellent. The campus is attractive. Plus, there's tons of activities for the students provided by the school.

The campus may be "in the middle of nowhere" but it is extremely beneficial. the tendency of the students here is to study all week and focus on school (easy to do in Socorro) and "play" party and go on trips on weekends to get away from school. NMT is a lot of work but also a lot of fun and defiantly has the best class sizes. max class of 70

Its just like CNM or UNM with better reputation. Its nice that the industry believes youre somehow better or smarter because you graduated here, but dont expect any of this to be grounded in reality. Theyre just as clueless as the rest of NMs education system. Better bang for the buck but thats it. The rest is wannabe-elitism. Academically it's jus

New Mexico Tech is an interesting school. The education can be really good if you are prepared to make the time investment and willing to be stressed sometimes. Unfortunately the facilities are severely lacking. The internet infrastructure, the food availability, and the faculty are all lacking.
