Rio Grande River Valley of central New Mexico, with a relatively low cost of living for the desert
southwest, and the campus is situated in a residential area. The nearby Magdalena mountains
and numerous desert canyons provide excellent opportunities for hiking, climbing, and mountain
biking. The Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, located just south of Socorro along a
major north-south flyway, offers some of the best birding in the United States. Socorro is about
an hour south of Albuquerque with its many attractions and convenient airport access.
