New Mexico State University (NMSU)

I lived at an apartment complex conveniently located across campus, and in addition it was very affordable.

Telephone costs went down because i shared the phone with my roommates. Local calls are for free and i had my family call me, so i had no expenses for long distance calls. The apartment i lived in was the cheapest in Las Cruces, and the amount i pay at the moment in Rotterdam does not even come close to what i paid in the US. My social life was a little more costly. You want to experience the most when you are abroad, so i took full advantage of my opportunities.

There were certain teachers that really stood out because, and almost everyone taking the same major new who to take for what courses. Overall, the level of the courses was decent, but not highly difficult.

Acadamic life for international and exchange students seemed to be a little easier than for Americans who sometimes had a fulltime job in addition to afford the tuition. So academic life could at times be not so challenging, however, the level was decent and teachers were very helpful and attentive.

The town is smaller than i expected, and in the weekends if you have no other obligations it can be boring. However there is always something to do, you just have to look for the events!

The university has a beautiful campus and the people are great. People who like the Latin life style are risht at home here.
