WELCOME TO THE
N E IGH BOR HOOD
The experiences that New Mexico offers to the UNM community are
a core part of being a Lobo. Of seeking adventure. Experiences that
bring us together and push us out of our comfort zone.
The Land of Enchantment has memories in store for everyone.
With thick pine forests giving way to breathtaking desert vistas, rolling
sand dunes and ski-worthy snowdrifts, this is one of the country’s
premier places for outdoor adventuring. Here, you can find thousands
of miles of hiking trails, rugged mountain ranges, world-class winter
sports, and some of the region’s most breathtaking natural and historic
sites—all waiting to be explored.
If you’re seeking the metropolitan vibe, Albuquerque is the place to be.
With the warmth of a small town—and notoriously friendly—the almosta-million-strong metro area is home to a vibrant mix of cultures and
people. Walk along centuries-old streets lined with historic buildings,
pop into a contemporary museum, eat some of the best blue corn
enchiladas you’ve ever had, then catch a show fresh off Broadway, all
without leaving the city.
