| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I would recommend it due to the fact that I am satisfied overall with the school and the program. I believe that anyone who attends this college will, in fact, get a great education as well as improve their skills. |
| Program Reputation | 9 | Central New Mexico is known for its programs, including business administration as well as the trades and construction industry. The reputation that the school has is normal for the area and it is known to have programs that are transferable to other institutions. |
| Program Quality | 9 | The school/college is very satisfactory when implementing the program to it's students. The head of the program, as well as the additional information available for students, is helpful and useful when applying class work to real life situations. |
| Instruction | 9 | I do not believe in giving a 10 for extremely good quality of instruction as I believe there is always room for growth and potential improvement. The instruction is very good as is the opportunity to give feedback and receive further tutoring. |
| How Difficult | 7 | The work load is a lot considering that it is an accredited college for transferring to additional schools for future education. The workload is challenging but not too difficult if you know what you are doing and what is it that you need to research. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Many courses involve books, though some do not require that you have to purchase textbooks. There is a lot of hands-on experience, especially with computer programs such as Word, Excel, and CAD. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | Courses are extremely flexible at CNM. Some general courses are offered on Saturdays and during evenings. There are several locations around the state for convenience. |
| Academic Facilities | 9 | The facilities and resources are very good for their students. I found that in the program I was enrolled in, computer access, labs, advisers, and support from other students are all great. |
| Social Life | 5 | I was not extremely social at school since I was also working. However, the social atmosphere is good. |
| Placement Services | 6 | Although I've never taken advantage of their career services dept., I can look into it further and gain experience with job placements. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | I'm not sure about the alumni network system. Though I am a recent associate's degree holder, I feel that if I needed to gain more support from the college to transfer credits or get additional support I would be able to with the college. |
