New Mexico State University, Las Cruces Ranking 2026 from QS, THE & US NEWS

That usually depends on the degree applying to. The current job market is very down. There are not too many jobs. The average salary is around 70000-85000 and typically students can find jobs through LinkedIn and other websites.

I have rented a two-bedroom apartment 2 blocks away from campus. I have just searched for apartments for rentals near campus, which gave me a list. It is particularly difficult to rent an apartment immediately after coming to the States as there is no rental history. All the Apartments here require an additional person to co-sign the lease due to the lack. hence, I would recommend getting in contact with someone who is already there for their help while joining.

• Almost everyone from the university got the job, the timeline was different for all the students depending on the course and time for graduation.
• The average salary range is between $60000-$100000 depending on the location and position.

• My batchmates mostly got jobs in Dialog semiconductor, Google, Apple, Nvidia and Analog Devices for Design Engineer, Test Engineer, Software Engineer and the major companies are Apple, Intel, Google, NXP etc.
   

• I found the accommodation through a Facebook group as I got connected with the students who were already there. They helped me to arrange everything from picking up from the airport, providing a temporary accommodation until I found permanent accommodation, connecting me with the students who were also looking for accommodation to getting settled to the apartment.
• The monthly rent was around $1000 and it does not include and other facilities.
• I did not struggle much as the seniors were really good and helpful towards new students.
• The recommendations is to connect with Facebook or any other groups of the university to seek accommodation.
• My accommodation was only 10 minutes walk from the department of electrical engineering and mostly Indian students stay in sharing apartments.
   

There are a lot of job opportunities coming out of my major. I was able to get a job right away, and many of my classmates were, as well. The head of the department also helps to bring companies to the school and keeps a job board on our website.

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.
