UNM Free Tuition??

My wife and I have lived here since 2023. I have a job in ABQ. I have a bachelor’s degree and Masters degree in fields that I have zero interest in, but I was able to get scholarships for. (I know. My bad).

I recently heard that State tuition is free to all residents that have lived here for a year?? Has anyone heard of this??

If not, can anyone recommend a way of getting school paid for at UNM?

Thank you.

How good is Nuclear Engineering At UNM?

Basically the title. and how is the university in general? Im OOS (CO) and Im also wondering about Army ROTC? Ive been interested in living in New Mexico and I'm planning to visit next summer before college. It would be my 2nd choice, only to Texas A&M for their Corps of Cadets program. What catches me about UNM is mainly the NUEN program, their ROTC, as well as there being the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Stats are - 3.8 W, 3.6 UW, 1480 SAT, and varsity sports for two years, JV for two years. How possible would it be for a full scholarship even though im out of state (if UNM does that)?

LGBTQ resource center

Sooo do people just hang out there? Is it a worthwhile way to meet other queer people? Kinda curious but don’t feel like walking over there since I don’t know what to expect and it looks pretty small and quiet anyways.

Graduate application "Assistantship Interest" document?

Hi all,

I am applying to UNM for Biology PhD next year. There is a place on the application form saying I should write a document "expressing your interest for an assistantship". Have any of you done that before?

The place I'm getting stuck is that there are no guidelines at all. How long should it be?? More professional in tone like the Letter of Intent or more like a personal statement?

Preventing harassment on campus?

Hi this isn’t my first semester but first year at UNM and I’m a bit of a country bumpkin from halfway across the country so keep that in mind. I am used to people approaching you for a specific reason and its usually helpful, like hey your shoes are untied type of thing. Here, I am having this problem of dudes trying to catch up to me from behind, match my pace for a minute, then try to look me straight in my face as they pass me or start to try to interact with me at that point which is very unwanted as I’m usually desperately trying to not be late for my next class 😭. Its also strangely similar to something that keeps happening to me on the road around here, except the dude is in a car/truck and I am also driving obviously. So on top of the confusion and fear I’m just annoyed??? How do I get them to stop or at least discourage this behavior. It’s really weird and makes me feel like its every dudes goal to see my face once they’ve seen me from a distance. I know thats not true but its building that belief. Terrifying! Could I maybe get some advice on feeling safer on campus please?

Is there any way to get access to Johnson Center as a community member?

I live near the university but am not affiliated with UNM. I tried the gym and thought it was great. I’d love to get membership but it seems like some affiliation is required.

Is there like a cheap class I can take to become affiliated or something? Anyone in the same position have luck getting a membership?

Needed classes to complete degree not showing up

I ran a lobotrax audit and saw the required classes needed, where there's 5 more to finish my degree. When registering and under the 'available courses', the classes I need aren't showing up, and wont even show an option for them. Anybody have this too?

should i take 2 half semester classes or one half and one full

I need to take 2 of my courses online. IIRC one of them I can only take as a half semester course and the other (english) I accidentally registered for a half semester as well (not the same half though). Should I switch that one to a full semester section so the english isn’t as intense or leave it so I’m not taking all of them the first half?

Advice for Late Registration

Hey guys I need advice. I just moved back to NM, and in all the craziness I forgot to register for orientation before picking Spring 2025 classes. Closest session I could get was a week from now, and as a transfer student I know how quickly classes can fill up. Far as I know, the registration hold wont go away until I go to orientation, so until then I’m kinda screwed. But apart from reaching out to professors, getting on the waitlist, and hoping for the best, anyone have any tips for getting the classes you need when you end up registering late?
