Out of state student, is it a good idea to go?

So I applied and got accepted, but I’m out of state from new york. I’m not sure whether or not I’ll go here, but I still applied for the options. But im kinda worried I’ll feel alone or isolated since it’s so far away, thoughts?

Urgent Help Needed: Last-Minute Math Placement Exam Before Transfer from EPCC to NMSU—Advice and Study Tips Welcome!

Hello everyone,

I urgently need your assistance. I'm a student transferring from EPCC to NMSU soon, and I've just found out I have to take a Math Placement Exam during the transfer process. This exam will determine which math courses I can enroll in. I'm majoring in Horticulture with a Bachelor of Science.

Unfortunately, I was informed about this surprise exam only a week before my orientation, and I was unprepared for this exam. I also want to know if possible what parts of this exam should I focus more one to get a higher score.

Here are my main concerns:

  1. If I don't score high enough, I'll be placed in a lower-level math course, which could set me back by 1 to 1.5 years as I do need to take College Algebra to enroll in Chemistry courses which are requirements for my degree.
  2. Delaying my math courses could impact my graduation date of 2027 and could result in lost opportunities.
  3. I haven't taken these math classes at EPCC due to family issues, which limited my study time to only 3-5 hours a day.

I'm looking for feedback because I feel uncertain about my future. I'm transferring now after just a year at EPCC because I've realized that juggling family responsibilities and academic goals combined has been unsustainable. I've had to drop classes and spend money on materials for courses that I couldn't complete. Even courses I find easy have become difficult under these circumstances, which means that usually, per semester, I can only do 2 courses.

I hope you understand my concerns. If you have any comments, objections, or advice, please feel free to respectfully share them on this post.

EDIT: The desdline for this exam is December 5th as orientation is at December 6th.

The People Who Participated in this “Peaceful Protest” are Children

Not a good look for you protestors. Now your behavior is clearly on the internet for everyone to see and judge, and it’s not a good look for you or NMSU. As you can see from the comments nobody supports this reprehensible behavior.

False information

Ok so I'm graduating in December and the advisor and the degree advisors said all of my stuff was ok, and I kept asking throughout the semester if everything was ok, and they confirmed that it was...since graduation is like 2 weeks away they are just now telling me that I was apparently 3 credits away from my minor and now they want to take it off my degree :( does this happen to anyone else where they tell you something and then backtrack?

Going to NMSU without a car

Hello, i hope you don’t mind me asking this question in here, sorry if you do. My university in Denmark cooperates with your university, which means i might able to go on an exchange in Las Cruces later on in my studies. The city looks and sounds really nice, and i’ve always dreamt of going to the US. I also think i can manage economically.

There is one thing i’m wondering though, and that is whether it is an absolute neccesity to have a car in Las Cruces, seeing as i can’t afford one and really dislike driving. Can you get by without a car, or is it more or less impossible? That is my main question. Sorry if i bother you.

Waitlisted again…

There is a course I need to take but I keep missing out on the available seats and end up on the waitlist. My professor said that I needed to take this course this semester, but what am I suppose to do….. I tried for the fall semester, but was waitlisted then as well. Any tips would be great! Thanks!!

Intern Housing in the area

Just got an intern offer for summer 25 in WSMR. I'm from the east coast so I'm looking for housing. I'd be the only intern so I don't have anyone else to live with. I'd prefer to live on a college campus if possible. Do they offer housing to college interns that don't attend NMSU? It would just be for the summer. Or if anyone else have recommendations please help!

Recommend or review on dual MPH/MSW?

I'm looking to apply for the dual MPH/MSW program. Does anyone have any insight on either in person and online experience? I can't find much information about satisfaction or quality this program is.

If anyone has insight on their experience on either MPH or MSW program would be appreciated as well!

Moving campuses

Hello is anyone apart of the global campus? I was wondering if you received a COA for being global, like housing,meals, etc. Or is it just the cost of tuition?

Stackable discounts or scholarships?

My daughter is from a neighboring state that qualifies for a good discount. She is also high achieving academically and a recruited athlete. Can we add all the scholarships/ discounts together which would make her tuition costs super affordable? Or is it a choose which discount/scholarship is the greatest situation? Also how good are the science programs?

What is the history department like?

I’m currently at NMSU studying art, however due to a lot of personal issues but also issues with some classes (nothing to do with the professors they are nice!) I was wanting to change majors, I looked at options and I am very interested in history, looked at the career opportunities that I could get with a BA in history as well as the classes I would need to take, while heavy in writing, I feel as though majoring in history would benefit me in a lot of ways. I wouldn’t mind doing work regarding writing or even museums. I was wondering if the history department at NMSU was a good one as well as with the professors. Of course, this is still a choice I am considering heavily since I don’t want to keep changing majors constantly, that’s all! :)
