I used to attend New Mexico Tech, and some of my experiences with students were really frustrating. At times, the social scene felt more like high school than college: cliques, immature behavior, people being rude to each other, and trouble having a normal conversation or handling disagreement respectfully. I’ve also seen some guys act awkward or disrespectful when talking to women.
I’m not saying every NMT student is like this, but I’ve encountered enough of it to wonder whether others have noticed the same thing. Is this just a few people I happened to meet, or do other students and former students feel like the campus social culture can be immature or unwelcoming?

I used to attend New Mexico Tech, and some of my experiences with students felt more like high school than college. I know that doesn’t describe everyone, but I’m curious: have others had similar experiences, or did I just run into a few people who weren’t very welcoming?

just as the title says, are there any threading or waxing in socorro?

Hello all,

I'm reaching out here to let people know that I'm offering my spot at 1010 Mineral Way at Prospectors Point. You would be living with two other roommates and they are very negotiable with splitting costs. My share is currently $525 a month + whatever utilities are (They're typically low and you are splitting it anyways). Please feel free to reach me at 631-848-3778 for more details!

Hello! I created a reddit account just to ask this question. Is anyone on this group familiar with the The Southwest CCUS Training and Research Partnership (CCUS-STRP)? It's a research intenrship oppurtunity NMT hosts in the summer and I was recently accepted into it. I was wondering if anyone else on here was? Or if there's a way I can connect with previous participants? I just had a few questions regarding everything, thank you!

I have just accepted an offer for NMT's M.S program in mineral engineering, and I am looking for off campus housing. I have reached out to multiple different apartment complexes in the area, and have not received any word back from any of them. I am looking for preferably a studio, as I do not know anyone in the area, and would prefer not to be in the Desert Willow or Mountain Springs buildings on campus. Any suggestions?

Hello! I will start my master’s in mechanical engineering this spring. I discussed the housing situation for graduate students with my advisor, and he recommended that I look into on-campus graduate housing. The rent for a single bedroom in a shared apartment is $831 per month, which is a bit too high considering my GA stipend.

Should I look into renting a room off campus? Where can I find such places? What are the things I should look out for while renting?

Hello, I'm looking for comments on the Biomedical Sciences program. Can anyone share information about the program, the opportunities to do research and internships.

Thanks

My daughter (11th grade) wants to major in Physics (Astrophysics is her passion). She was looking at UNM. Is NMT's Physics Dept well-regarded? Should we consider? Is the male/female ratio still skewed?

I asked a question about this at one of the open houses we went to and it was answered very briefly that it was possible.

Has anyone put in a small repeater for the dorm wifi to rebroadcast to devices that cannot log in with the student credentials?

For example a laptop or phone obviously can but other Wi-Fi devices that cant open a browser page won’t authenticate.

Just received my kid’s bill for the first semester and it is missing the opportunity scholarship credit. Is this something else that anyone else has missing? I’m going to call tomorrow to see what’s going on of course.

This hasn’t been unusual from them as it seems like every step has had something wrong.

Hello, has anyone here rented from Sam Gallegos? I'm looking to compile a list of complaints against him. Also if anyone else has had a shitty landlord in Socorro feel free to share here.

Thinking of coming here as an out of state student from north Carolina for electrical engineering, can yell guys tell me the goods and bads of the university? I have to move to the southwest for family reasons so going instate isn't an option for me.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much green it is around your fine school.

Hi, I'm a NM resident looking to get a bachelor's in computer engineering. Tech is known for having the best STEM programs in the state. However, I have a passion for music and would love to pursue that on the side, maybe as a minor. I have family that are current students, they have mentioned that any classes outside of STEM are a joke and the professors don't seem to care to teach. Does anyone have any experience with the music program there? I'm not looking for an easy credit, I would actually like to learn something.

Between financial scandals, high turnover rates of university presidents, and the strange behavior of rescinding offers in emergency meetings, the Board of Regents is failing the school and needs to be held accountable.

I am desperate need of help. I failed my nmtcb boards. I study over lecture boards, the COPs, and study over this NMT review book and still didn't pass. Can someone please give me any advice as to how they pass they boards

Hey guys I’m Dillon. I’m looking for some roommates to live with in my house. I have two spare bedrooms fully furnished and utilities are included with the $700 per month price. My house is a 2 minute walk to campus so HMU if you or anyone you may know are looking for a place for summer or the upcoming fall and spring semesters.

Hey what’s up guys my name is Dillon. I’m 28 years old and looking to rent out two of my bedrooms to any students who are interested.

So I was a teacher for five years but now work full time as a sports player prop analyst. I live here with my border collie so you must be a dog person.

My house is really close to Tech as it’s located on Neel St so legit like 5 minute walk or less to campus.

The house is 1600 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. My internet is excellent you can get up to 100 download speed here but always consistently above 20 mb/ps. In both spare bedrooms there are twin XL beds. Also, there’s a pretty badass desk in one of the spare bedrooms so whoever hits me up first will get dibs on that room.

I’m charging $700 per month to stay here and that includes all utilities. I should also say this is a drug free household. Of course we will have a contract agreement that we will discuss together.

If any of you want to proceed moving forward you can HMU on here or you can email me at dgreenenm@gmail.com

Does anybody have any suggestions on specifically dell laptops for mechanical engineering students. My dad has a lot of dell rewards points.

Also Got an Email Today saying that The room selection process for 2025-2026 starts tomorrow.

and gave me a time slot. will I get an email telling asking me what hall I want, and what hall do I want. I want a hall that has community, I heard one of the freshmen halls offers tutoring. so does anybody have recomendations for dell laptops for mechanical engineering students, and wich dorm hall

Hello everyone,

I'm a New Mexico student looking to study chemical engineering. I'm struggling with choosing between NMT, MTU and CSM, and was looking to see why you may have chosen NMT over the other two or if you have additional knowledge of any of the schools. I'm considering research opportunities and student life in my decision.

I know tech has a lot of opportunities for me when it comes to research access, and I know they also having a challenging curriculum. However, I'm worried about living in Socorro for 4 years and what student life looks like. I enjoy running and was considering club or intramural cross country or track, but it doesn't look like New Mexico Tech has a lot of opportunities for sports.

I was offered a good amount of money to go to MTU, and I've heard they have research access to undergraduates and a good student life with sports and a thriving community in Houghton. However, it is over 1500 miles away and different from New Mexico.

CSM seems to have a lot to offer in research and in student life, but is very expensive compared to the other two and I may accumulate debt of over 100k.

Any input would be appreciated, thank you!
