Western New Mexico University is run very poorly. The financial aid staff do not do their jobs- they lied to me on several occasions and it got to the point where I did not know if I would be able to pay for classes (after moving across the country to go to school at WNMU) because they did not put my student loans through.

Keep in mind though, it is on a college campus, so it's possible that not every part of your service will be...
