Located in the heart of one of America’s most historic and culturally-rich cities, the University of New Mexico provides a stellar academic environment surrounded by urban resources and the stunning natural beauty of the region. Albuquerque’s signature Southwestern architectural style dominates the campus buildings at UNM (particularly Mesa Vista Hall and Dane Smith Hall), creating a totally unique atmosphere. The university serves as a major cultural hub for the city, with the University Art Museum, Popejoy Hall, and the Rodey Theatre on the south side of campus exhibiting popular displays and performances throughout the year.
Central Avenue provides a strip of casual eateries and coffee houses serving the UNM population, bordering the southern edge of campus and extending for several blocks in either direction. The Central Campus is only a mile east of Downtown Albuquerque, making it easy to take advantage of the restaurants, theaters, galleries, and nightlife hotspots without having to drive. The local housing market offers many excellent options that tend to be quite affordable, especially near the UNM campus.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
