About Student Housing in Albuquerque
Albuquerque, New Mexico is the state's largest city, set in the high desert along the Rio Grande with the Sandia Mountains rising to the east, and the University of New Mexico anchors a large student community near its center. UNM's main campus sits just off Central Avenue, the historic Route 66 corridor, with the lively Nob Hill district immediately east and downtown a short ride west. Tens of thousands of students give the surrounding neighborhoods a steady college pulse. Green space defines the city: the Rio Grande Bosque offers miles of riverside trails, the Sandia foothills draw hikers, and parks dot the city. Old Town preserves the Spanish colonial roots, and the annual International Balloon Fiesta, the largest hot air balloon event on earth, anchors the cultural calendar.
