The School:
WNMU is a small NCAA Division II school located in the southwest corner of New Mexico.  The relatively inexpensive school (about $5,000 per year in-state and $10,000 per year out-of-state) boasts approximately 2,500 students and is most recognized for its Schools of Education and Business.  The small campus is beautiful and nestled in the foothills of the Gila Wilderness.  The on-campus dorms and cafeteria are also very nice and easily accessible to the entire campus. 

The Town:
Silver City is a small town of about 15,000 residents. It is located in the foothills of the Gila Wilderness, which means that both the forests and deserts extremely near-by.  This geographic location keeps the weather very nice, as Silver City is known for its 4 gentle seasons. Severe weather and snow storms do occur on occasion, but generally do not last for very long.  The nearest cities and airports are Albuquerque, NM, Tucson, AZ and El Paso, TX, which are all between 3 and 4 hours away.
