Transfer Student Stories
Starting somewhere new can feel like a big leap. At Northern New Mexico College, transfer
students find a community that helps make the process clearer, more personal, and
more manageable. From one-on-one support to flexible options and affordable programs,
these students found a place where they could keep moving toward their goals.
“I wanted a place that truly cared about students—and I found it.”
Emily Schutz, Nursing
“I transferred from another nursing program because I didn’t feel like I was getting
the education I needed. At NNMC, the difference was immediate—the faculty were supportive,
and I felt like my learning really mattered. Even as one of the first students to
transfer into the program, the process was smooth, and connecting with other students
early helped me feel prepared. I came back for my RN to BSN because I already knew
this was the right place for me.”
“I didn’t feel lost—I felt supported every step of the way.”
Alexys Medrano, Education
“Transferring felt overwhelming at first—I had to figure out financial aid, course
planning, and where to go for help. But once I connected with the right people, everything
became clear. The staff helped me map out my degree, stay on track, and build confidence
in myself as a future teacher. Having that consistent support made all the difference
in my experience.”
“NNMC made my transfer simple and easy.”
Bridget Leeper, Business Project Management
“What stood out to me was how responsive and helpful everyone was. I could talk to
someone directly, get my questions answered, and move forward quickly. Even when issues
came up with paperwork from another school, NNMC stepped in right away to help resolve
it so I could register and stay on track.”
“Stay on top of communication and don’t be afraid to ask questions.”
Business Administration student
“As an online student, my transfer process had some challenges, especially with communication
and coordinating everything from a distance. I had to stay persistent and follow up
often, but that’s what helped me get through it. In the end, NNMC was the right fit
for me—affordable, flexible, and better suited to how I learn.”
