UNM sits in Albuquerque, the largest city in New Mexico, with a population of over 900,000 people. Each fall, the city hosts the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the most photographed event in the world. Albuquerque enjoys year-round sunshine and four distinct seasons, making it a wonderful place for the outdoor enthusiast. It's easy to see why New Mexico is called "The Land of Enchantment".
