What are you looking for in a college and why?

Tiana Paras, New Mexico School for the Arts

“So far, I’m looking for a strong study abroad program because I really like to travel and experience other cultures. I’m not really sure what I want to major in yet, but hopefully I’ll find out soon!”

Isaac Hernandez, Santa Fe High

“What I’m looking for is a diverse and inclusive environment where I can get to know many different types of people and excel academically.”

Abigail Baca, Capital High School

“I am looking for a college that has strong academics as well as medical majors that I can pursue. I want a college that challenges me, but at the same time is a place that I can have fun and enjoy my education.”

Liz Nava, Monte del Sol

“What I’m looking for in a college is one with a good medicine program and diversity — diversity because I’m Mexican and I’m trying to get a sense of welcoming.”

Paige Weinder, The MASTERS Program

“I’m looking for classes or a degree plan that will cater to what I want to pursue as a career, as well as being something that I am passionate about — because I don’t want to do something that will make me unhappy.”

Katherine Sanchez, Santa Fe High

“I want a large school with a variety of options and helpful advisers who can help me plan for the future.”
