New Mexico Tech is good, but small, isolated, and sciences only. Colorado School of Mines is better, not as small and isolated, but close to flying range. U of Utah is good, comparable to the Arizona schools, but not as large and less partying. I like Salt Lake my year there. FWIW Mormans are a minority there, about 40-45% of the population. Prescott College in Arizona is a possibility, but rather more specialized than I think you want. UNM is similar to Utah, but is more a commuters school, and Albuquerque is not as pedestrian friendly as Salt Lake was 20+ years ago. Texas Tech is similar to UNM and Utah, but near flying distance. Lubbock is underrated by most people, but it doesn’ take much to exceed most people’s opinion of Lubbock.
