More undergraduate students per capita from NewMexicoTech (New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology) go on to earn PhDs than any other public school. Some of the big name schools it outperforms include Yale, Stanford, Cornell, Dartmouth, etc.

You can take some of the best students in the nation and expect the best results, but most students of NMT are, in fact, quite modest and average. This school is incredible in the ability to teach its students.

NMT benefits from generous federal funding. The school sports am impressive 12:1 student-faculty ratio. The school offers a number of unique research opportunities.

NMT also has a number of other lesser honors.

NMT isn’t a major public university like Berkeley, UVa, or Michigan. It doesn’t offer the vast array of majors. But the quality of its education is second to none and it offers a lot that these universities don’t.

(Admittedly, I’m into obscure, exotic “top” schools. lolz.)
