Students learn in an environment graced by distinctive Southwester architecture, beautiful plazas and fountains, spectacular art and a national arboretum…all within view of the 10,000 ft. Sandia Mountains. At UNM we are proud to claim one of the most ethnically diverse student bodies among universities anywhere in the United States.
