Students Say
The mentorship continues across the student body as well, since all required 1L courses 鈥渉ave a 2L tutor . . . to answer questions, give reviews throughout the semester, and help in the learning of certain subtopics.鈥 The administration 鈥渋ncorporates the student voices into various aspects of the school.鈥 Many students are from New Mexico, and most students agree that 鈥淯NM is a gem generally hidden to those outside the state.鈥
Students feel happy with the career services office, but feel like they could do more to support students. UNM has 鈥渁 strong tribal law department, and therefore have a handful of native professors.鈥 Even so, some students point out that 鈥渄iverse perspectives in the faculty will only strengthen those characteristics in the professors who are shaping our learning.鈥 And again, no student has to struggle to find their professors when they need them. 鈥淣o one, not even the Dean, is more than an e-mail or phone call away. The faculty is not only receptive to student needs but welcomes it and solicits it.鈥
As for curriculum, several students point out the need for more legal research and writing access, and say 鈥渇ocusing on legal research earlier in the curriculum might be a good idea to help 1Ls navigate through their first year of school.鈥 Most students would like improvement with food (鈥渟ome of the faculty have tried to alleviate the problem by bringing in food trucks鈥) and the wireless capabilities, and feel that the 鈥渂uilding itself could use some upgrades. . . . it shows its age.鈥

As another student told us, 鈥淭he community cares about the law students and the school does a great job of fostering the connections.鈥 Finally, another student succinctly defined UNM: 鈥淚n a word, support, support, support.鈥
