Hostel:

I lived on campus for my first year. It was fine, but I had to share a room with one other person and use a communal bathroom. There were other options, but they often fill up quickly. I chose to live in an apartment near my school for the rest of my time there.

It was affordable and had a very good chemical engineering program. I originally planned to get my masters in biomedical engineering after I finished, so this program led to that very well. I liked the people I met in Las Cruces, and the head of the department was very helpful.
