Since its inception in 1888, New Mexico State University has served as a pioneering institution for the state and the region. While offering academic and research opportunities in a diverse range of fields, the university remains heavily focused on fields related to engineering and agriculture, even adopting the nickname “Aggies” for is sports teams.
The campus occupies the far southeast corner of Las Cruces, where the cityscape starts to blend into the surrounding desert. Mostly surrounded by residential neighborhoods, the area closest to the university is packed with affordable apartments and houses, though the restaurant and bar scene is limited to a few popular hangouts along University Avenue (Dublin’s Street Pub, Milagro Coffee) and Locust Street (Burger Time, Spirit Winds Coffee Bar).
Living near the university, you will be able to enjoy stunning views of the nearby mountains every day, and you’ll be just a short drive away from gorgeous nature preserves like Organ Mountain and White Sands National Monument. The location at the interchange between Interstate 10 and Interstate 25 makes it easy to hit the road for a long weekend.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
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.
