Eastern New Mexico University 1500 South Avenue K, Portales, NM 88130

"This school is horrible. Admission team is rude, financial aid rude and goes back on their word. One day I didn’t have a balance and the next I had a balance of $6,000 in the middle of the semester because “they made a mistake” and was expected to pay all of it in a couple months. Admission is a joke. I applied to ENMU and NMSU the same day and got accepted the next day at NMSU and ENMU took 3 months. This school is all messed up from admission to teachers. Everyone is so rude. I would avoid this school at all means."

"Horrible experience. I took one course at this university. My “professor” never posted any lectures and simply gave us chapters to read and assignments.. she did not teach a single thing. She took 3 weeks to grade assignments. She waited until the day after the class ended to grade major assignments. When I questioned her reasoning for my grades she disrespected me and insulted my intelligence. If you want to throw $1,500 away, then take classes at this institution. If not, then go elsewhere."

"I’m currently a sophomore at ENMU and I have really enjoyed my time here. I’m majoring in Electrical Engineering Technology and Mathematics and all of the professors and staff are great in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, all the professors and instructors are plenty knowledgeable about their material and then some. As far as I know, STEM fields at this university are great. I haven’t personally experienced anything wrong other than the advising center’s advice, short patience and short answers, however I have had some problems with other professors that other reviews have mentioned such as professors’ opinions. This university is overall great."

"Honestly if you read some of these "reviews" they are alumni from 1980's-90's... Things have changed in the past 20-30 years! I only had 4 good instructors, (sadly only one from my major... a lab instructor who was a graduate student, another was my anthropology instructor and two exercise ) the rest of the instructors are too busy for their students and don't seem to care too much if one of them is struggling in class. Advising staff doesn't help much, give half-fast answers and get really rude if you ask for more than said answer.. especially on the phone. Not to mention ENMU never has it together, like changing the portal in the middle of the semester or giving someone the wrong paperwork to withdrawal... I don't recommend anyone attending this university, it may have a lower cost but you get what you pay for.. lower price, lower education."

"Yes, the campus is a bit isolated but that means fewer distractions from learning! And the price is right. I had great instructors when I graduated in 1983 and 1984. It was the right place for me. I was in the USAF at Cannon AFB in Clovis through mid-1979 and I attended full-time after I was discharged. College is what you make of it."
