WHO WE ARE, PART ONE Founded in 1889, when New Mex-

ico was still pretty much the wild

west — and some 23 years before

it became a state — the Univer-

sity of New Mexico grew rapidly.

From just six graduates (all future

teachers) in 1894, UNM rose to

become the flagship university of

New Mexico, and one of the most

respected research universities in

today’s not-nearly-so-wild West.

WHO WE ARE, PART TWO

Today, UNM is home to over

27,000 students on the main

campus in Albuquerque, hailing

from every state in the union

and nearly every country in the

world. Representing and honor-

ing amazing diversity, the stu-

dent body of the University of

New Mexico combines an enor-

mous range of ethnic, cultural

and economic backgrounds.

This diverse learning commu-

nity is both a fitting outgrowth

of New Mexico’s past and a

snapshot of America’s future.

UNM is one of America’s prime

Hispanic-serving institutions,

it is ranked among the top five

in the nation for awarding bac-

calaureate degrees to American

Indians, the list goes on. But

the great thing is that diversity

runs so deep here that it stops

being something unusual and

simply becomes the back-

ground for a group of people

on the way to their future. To

help lead the way, some 2,000

outstanding faculty provide

committed, supportive teaching

and academics of the highest

quality. And more than 140,000

alumni form an accomplished

local and national network of

connection, inspiration and

accomplishment.

YOUR FUTURE IS ON THIS LIST

More than 250 leading-edge de-

gree programs in 13 respected

schools and colleges means just

one thing — you can get there

from here. From business to

Latin American studies, from

chemistry to environmental

science, from earth science edu-

cation to computer engineering

to music to nursing and on and

on, you’ll discover the way to

your rewarding career and your

life of achievement, service and

success. And even if you don’t

really have a clue what you

want to do, UNM is so flexible

and so supportive that you’ll

discover your goals even as you

work toward them.

THE WORLD IS RIGHT HERE.WHERE WE ARE, PART ONE

The main campus of UNM (there

are branch campuses around the

state in Taos, Gallup, Los Alamos

and Valencia) is located on

historic Route 66 in the heart of

Albuquerque, a welcoming city

of some 700,000 people, rich in

entertainment, cultural, education

and internship opportunities. This

is a major university that doesn’t

feel isolated in a small college

town — the school is central to

the life of Albuquerque. And

Albuquerque itself is at the center

of New Mexico, putting you

within range of the extraordinary

combination of scenery, weather

and recreation opportunities that

make America’s fifth-largest state

so special. Hike, bike, ski, board,

raft, run, climb, play — this is the

really great outdoors. But there is

more to it than travel-folder heaven.

There is a forward-looking, goal-

oriented, yet friendly and accept-

ing attitude on campus. You find

a willingness to let people be

who they want to be and follow

their own path. There’s also a

unique campus environment

created by the mix of pueblo-

style and modern architecture —

even with nearly 150 buildings

spread over 600 acres, this is a

place where the buildings make

people feel comfortable, rather

than small or overwhelmed.

Around almost every corner

you’ll find a quiet plaza, fountain

or pond.

WHERE WE ARE, PART TWO

We don’t want to go all New Age

about it, but this is a unique place

for even more reasons. There is

something special about an

environment where hundreds of

years of civilization combine with

a future-focused drive toward

innovation. This is a place of

ancient pueblos and leading-edge

national research labs, a unique

soup of yesterday and tomorrow.

It’s a perfect reflection of a great

education: historical understand-

ing and insight in service to

tomorrow. And one more thing:

a refreshing lack of “noise.” The

New Mexico surroundings some-

how seem to make the many

distractions of the world sort of

fall away. The background noise

seems to be less noticeable here,

which makes it a wonderful place

to focus on study and learning —

and making some noise of your

own. It fits that the world’s largest

hot air balloon festival is held here

each year — rising, soaring and

gaining a new perspective just

somehow seems to be easier to

do here!

NO PASSPORT NEEDED!

Now we’ll admit it, some people

around the country are a little

hazy on the whole New Mexico

thing. They wonder if they need to

speak Spanish to come here. La

respuesta es no, pero es siempre

bueno saber otro lengua. Some

even wonder if they need a

passport to come here! Not if

you’re from one of the other 49

states in the USA, you don’t! On

the other hand, or doodaii’, as

they say in Diné, or Navajo, UNM

is the best passport you’ll find to

help you on the journey to your

goals.

LAND OF THE LABS

New Mexico is justifiably

famous for its natural beauty

and unique culture, but it’s also

the home of two of the world’s

best-known research laborato-

ries: Sandia National Laborato-

ries and Los Alamos National

Laboratories. The close proxim-

ity of these centers of discovery

to a research university of the

quality of UNM puts New

Mexico on the cutting edge of

science and technology — and

you, as a UNM student, in the

center of it all.

ACADEMIC JUMPSTART UNM’s world-class academics and

the unlimited worlds they will

open for you mean that you’re

going to have to be focused and

work hard along the way. Which

is why no university offers more

supportive programs to help you

hit the ground running in your

freshman year. Starting with

LOBO Orientation and the College

Enrichment Program in the

summer before your college

career begins, you and your

family can get the information,

advising, class registration and

familiarity with campus that will

make your first day a breeze.

And your first semester will be

powered by a range of programs,

from Freshman Learning Commu-

nities and Freshman Interest

Groups to community research

opportunities, that will connect

with faculty, fellow students and

new friends.

LOBO LIFE IS BIG LIFE

Start with a beautiful campus

surrounded by a fun, friendly

city surrounded by the Rio

Grande Valley and the Sandia

Mountains, then add 310 days

of sunshine each year, and you

have an amazing place to live

and learn. You already know all

the things you can do off-

campus — if you can find the

time after all the things you can

do on campus. There are always

events and activities going on,

from big-time sports to movies

and concerts to chill time at the

Student Union. The campus

features art galleries, museums,

theaters — and the show is also

pretty good right across the

street at the local-legend Frontier

Restaurant. You can walk to lots

of great restaurants and coffee

shops, and the food...well, entire

books have been written about

the delicious, distinctive New

Mexico cuisine. When it comes

to studying (which it will) UNM

has a wealth of facilities and

resources for your education,

from a world-class library to

dozens of state-of-the-discipline

labs and institutes. It’s easy to

get around campus on foot or by

bike, and a new public transpor-

tation system reaches all the

way north to fabled Santa Fe.

Living on campus is the way to

go, with just about every type of

housing option and meal plan

available to you. You’ll be at the

heart of so much fun and so

many new friends — that’s Lobo

life! Check it out at http://

housing.unm.edu/.

GAME ON

You already know Lobo athletics

are the real deal. UNM fields

teams in 21 sports, including

football, men’s and women’s bas-

ketball, baseball, softball, men’s

and women’s track and field

(indoor and outdoor), men’s and

women’s cross-country, men’s

and women’s soccer, men’s and

women’s tennis, women’s

swimming and diving, men’s and

women’s golf, skiing and

volleyball. The Lobos play in the

ultra-competitive Mountain West

Conference of the NCAA’s

Division 1. And from University

Stadium to the Pit (one of college

basketball’s most famous arenas)

the Lobo sport venues are just as

outstanding as the games. Get

the whole picture at www.

golobos.com.

GETTING HERE, PART ONE: FINANCIAL AID

Which do you want first, the

good news or the good news?

OK, the good news is that UNM

is one of the best educational

values in America, whether you

are an in-state or out-of-state

student. The quality/cost ratio is

way in your favor. The good

news is that UNM has a vigorous

financial aid and scholarship

program, and nearly nine of

every 10 UNM students receive

some form of financial aid,

including grants and loans,

student employment and

competitive scholarships.

Full-time tuition and fees for

2009-2010 are:

N.M. Resident — $5,101

(New Mexico residents may also

be eligible for lottery-funded

tuition aid)

Non-resident — $17,254

Residence hall room and

board costs:

Traditional hall, basic meal

plan — $7,746

Books and Supplies — $920

GETTING HERE, PART TWO: VISIT UNM

You can’t really know until you

go! It’s all just words and pictures

until you see and feel in person

how special UNM really is. Come

students and faculty, discover the

opportunities and surprises that

are waiting for you here. The

enlightening Campus Visit
