    wish I had read the reviews before enrolling in this school. The level of disorganization is…read moreshocking. Class schedules are often released late, and there have been multiple instances where teachers forget they have a class leaving students to track them down. There's a serious lack of consistency in policies, especially regarding testing. Some students are allowed to make up quizzes, while others aren't, with no clear explanation. What's most frustrating is that I'm paying $62,000 for an education that falls far short of expectations. Many of the instructors are unprepared or know nothing about the material. It feels like the school is more focused on enrollment numbers and NCLEX pass rates than on actually educating its students. That seems to be their main concern is staying in business. If you're considering this school, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. You won't get the education you're paying for or deserve.

Her goal is to retire after 20 years, well they're obliging her regardless of her incompetence... Sweet and funny lady but they are doing an injustice to the students and have been because of her time there. It's sad that she's going to be know this way instead of as a great instructor that she was. It's ruining her reputation and the school is guilty of allowing her to continue. Watching her decline is heartbreaking...

    The Tamarind Institute is simply amazing. I visited recently for a meeting and was blown away by…read morethe level of quality, the diversity of their prints, and the impact they make in the larger art community. If it's open when you are in town it is well worth a visit.

That's more like a six-way intersection, not a crossroads, I guess, but hey, even cooler. Internationally renowned for graduating some talented future-focussed creatives, it's well worth a gander, particularly for a solid appreciation of what makes a print a true Print. The work on the walls revolve, reflecting who's been there, lately, although you'll love the permanent installations by the front door. After a brief tour of collections, the best part of your visit will be the lower levels, where students live and work together, creating startlingly vibrant prints. If you're lucky enough to get a comprehensive overview of the place, as I did, you'll see just how these works are pressed and honed, an extraordinary and ancient process that can't be duplicated by modern ink jets. This is one of those hidden gems tucked aside a college campus that I just assumed, during my five years at UNM, was simply classrooms. Not. Call to arrange your visit, and enter through the doorway next to the parking lot, southwest of Central.

    As of January 2007, the beginning of School of American Research's 101st year, the name of this…read moreeducational non-profit organization was officially changed to the "SCHOOL FOR ADVANCED RESEARCH ON THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE." I only knew this research facility when I lived in Santa Fe as SAR. I did contract archeological cartography for them for a couple of years. The cartography wasn't difficult, but getting each drawing and map approved was. They had a reputation for never approving the first work submitted. Always wanting everything perfect. Deadlines weren't the primary motivation, perfection was. There were always changes. But producing maps and drawings for some of the Grand Canyon Series of publications made me feel a real part of this prestigious institution and worth the trouble of working for perfectionists. This 100 year-old institution was initially established to study and research the archaeology and ethnology of the American Southwest. In the late 1960s the focus became more of a global one. The programs and activities of SAR today include research and study to advance archeology, anthropology and similar related disciplines. The School's many programs include a scholars-in-residence program, seminars and public lectures, and extensive Native American Indian Arts research programs. SAR has an annual Lecture Series and also provides field trips to noted archeological sites to its members. Membership is inexpensive and the benefits are enormous. 100 years of research is at your fingertips through their extensive library collections (the librarian was the librarian in the Laboratory of Anthropology for many years) and many research programs and publications. (Plus they always welcome volunteers.) Check out www.sarweb.org for complete information on this research institution that has been moving the anthropological study of the American Southwest and other areas of the world forward for over 100 years.

Founded in 1907, SAR is a residential center focused on the cultivation of innovative research in anthropology, broadly defined, as well as the work of Native American artists and writers. SAR offers residential fellowships to scholars and Native American artists through a competitive process. We host research seminars for scholars undertaking comparative, historically informed research that addresses critical issues of human social life. SAR's Indian Arts Research Center (IARC) stewards and makes available to scholars and artists one of the world's finest collections of Native American art from the Southwest. SAR Press publishes path-breaking books in anthropology, archaeology, Indigenous studies, and Native American art. The Catherine McElvain Library provides access to a significant collection of anthropological works and archival material related to Santa Fe history. Our membership program offers frequent lectures, field trips, and campus tours to the general public.

    So far so good for me. The faculty here is very…read moreapproachable. Favorite instructor so far is Mr. Chris Boat. One thing I would definitely change is to get rid of the slackers. A lot of the time, a sob story is given and they can get an amended work schedule and completely different assignments than we are required to do. There are a lot of great and friendly people here at BMC. I recommend this place if you are going into nursing and do not want the changing pre-requisites and to get your career started quickly.

    Eh, where to begin. I applied for their surgical tech program and originally they said my sophomore…read morecredits from CNM would transfer in. After I am enrolled for their classes. I then discover I HAVE TO RE-TAKE all my pre-reqs! Either that or "sit out" which means ill get penalized for having my pre-reqs done! It's not my fault I actually did go to college, seems like they don't like transferring credits in ( less money for them) so they basically told me if you want your credits to transfer in, you'll have to sit out and not take classes until we find open classes for you. They told me it would take 6 months! Bull! The point of having transferring credits is so I could've finished faster not wait 6 months for them to accept my credits and take more advance classes. The students here are nothing short of ex-paroles, hoodlums and people who will not actually graduate. This school is a joke. They know their student body isn't capable of more so they offer a hour pep talk from the dean in your class every Thursdays in class. He sells his shpeal to you and says how important you are and how you WILL amount to something. Nobody takes this school seriously. Every student misses class and they still pass! But don't show intelligence, the professors hate that! They don't like the smart people and favor the lazy absentee ones. If you do get a class, you will get one of their generic teachers. They change your teacher every month after telling you that you would have another one. The whole administration is incompetent. Their main deal is to take your money, all they see are dollars walking not students. I am glad I only took two classes and then transferred out. For almost 40k for a worthless degree that you can't even transfer to other colleges but their sister colleges. And don't ask them if your degree will transfer, all administration is set with the generic response, "it's up to the college you're applying for if they accept your degree or not." They know it will NEVER transfer over to a reputable college so they are predisposition to say that. Don't apply here if you actually want a degree to transfer to a superior college. For a degree that will only serve as vocational training, the money isn't worth it.
