Northern New Mexico College is a public college in Española, New Mexico.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $5,216/year net price and a median debt of only $6,500 at graduation, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere. However, the 33% graduation rate and a 61% freshman retention rate are real warning signs — most students who start here don't finish — and median earnings of $30,000 a decade out suggest limited career-earnings upside. Worth considering if cost is your primary constraint and you have a clear plan to stay on track, but look hard at why so many students leave before graduating.
