One of Your First Decisions
Having decided to attend UNM, you have several choices about where to live:
- on-campus in the residence halls
- near campus in a sorority or fraternity or small co-op residence
- off-campus in an apartment or shared home
- at home as a commuter
We encourage you to spend at least a year in the residence halls if at all possible. If you do, you'll:
- enjoy many benefits of living on campus
- find it easier to transition to college life
- find it easier to make friends who share your interests
- find it easier to meet students whose life experience is very different from yours
- enjoy access to a real community of activities, organizations, and interests
- experience personal growth with opportunities to gain independence and display leadership
- on average, have a higher grade point in your studies
- on average, graduate faster than other students
- find it more convenient and less expensive than living in an apartment
- learn to live with others in a cooperative fashion
