New Mexico State University (NMSU)

At the beginning, i was not that familarized with the American Accent because i get used to the Hong Kong (UK) english and the Dutch English (Slower). So, at the beginning i was a bit nervious to talk. Later i have more friends, go out together, group meetings, presentation and study together, graduation i built up more confident and then it is no problem for me to communication in everyday life. I also learn spanish there, because the city (Las Cruces) is closed to Mexico, where there are many Mexican speak spanish. They always suprised that i speak a little bit spanish (as i learnt in Holland), so they are nice to me and i gradually like spanish very much!

Yes, there are exchange square in the campas, where student can post an advertisement to sell and buy used items. They are quite cheap. The school also organize trips, which is cheap too.

With open-mind to respect new culture; Take the initiative to communicate with people and enjoy social life; Be wise with spendings; Travel more and grapse the chance to see new things; Take photo and recall your memory. You will find out that the world is wonderful.

The school is far away from the Central, and not very convenient for student that have no cars. But inside the University there are many activities organized by school and student organization. Sport facilities are adequate, computer room and game rooms are available. I don't have much night life, only sometime travel with some friend during spring break to Vegas and Arizona, during weekend, sometimes travel to El Paso (Texas) and went to shopping malls. The disco in Mexico was really different from that in Texas and Las Cruses, don't miss it.

I share the room with another roomate, the room is clean, but don't have much facilities. It is on campus, so very convenient for me to go to school. The environment is nice, but the room is not big, just sufficient.
