"Study New Mexico USA has provided me opportunities to truly experience, learn, and integrate into the local communities. I have been beyond lucky to have had relentless support from the amazing president, host family, professors and lifelong friends I have made here. The financial assistance, above all, has turned my time in the US into a journey I never thought possible, and I could not be more thankful.” - An Danh

"Hello! This is Zoey, one of the very first students of the Study New Mexico USA program. My experience here was tremendous. Study New Mexico USA always ensures the students feel welcomed and get a thrill out of their experience in the US. Personally, it is a chance to grow and be a better version of myself. Kristian's family was my strongest support system when I came to New Mexico. With their care and kindness, I learned to be myself, be kind, embrace my flaws, and love nature. Having met such wonderful people, my journey was fantastic. I found the place where I belong. I found my passion and things I long to achieve." - Zoey Thao

"I was very lucky to have a chance to join Kristian Chervenock's Program thanks to Mrs. Phuong Tran, who is my devoted English teacher. Although my study in New Mexico was just 9 months (for grade 12), I received many valuable experiences while spending time there. Firstly, I really want to thank you the Chervenock family, who helped me a lot when I started my new journey in a strange country. They took care of all of the newbies from meals to school stuff. They let us join in a lot of interesting activities such as the White Sands trip, an amazing Christmas night in Mesilla Valley, and my most favorite trip to Cloudcroft. My companions were really friendly so we really enjoyed living there together. Last but not least, study at Las Cruces High School was great and I had a chance to learn in a multi-different culture with lots of interesting pieces of knowledge. Therefore, I gained plenty of life experience and flourished myself so I am very proud and happy to be a part of the program." - Karen Chu

"English, for me, is very difficult to say but through this program, I have more confidence, I pronounce better, and I'm using words that I have never used before. I had the opportunity to listen to local people talk and practice pronunciation like them and I learned to speak slang words. I feel like my English level has been raised to a whole new level. One of the things that I will never forget about the program is the friendships. Thanks to the program, I have met many amazing people and will always feel grateful for these wonderful relationships. I might not have met them if this program hadn't found me. The Study New Mexico Program creates a map for you to get to American universities. Along the way, you can equip yourself with insights and experiences that you can hardly find in everyday life. Most importantly, the bigger the dream plan, the more specific the plan must be. The Study New Mexico program gives you a foundation to conquer your dreams." - Pham Anh

"I’m glad I decided to work with the Study New Mexico USA program. Although because of COVID-19, my experience in the USA was not extremely perfect, I still had a great time here. I was still able to attend some activities for dorm kids, and it was great. The study environment here was different too, but it was not too hard to adapt. If you are serious about studying abroad, you need the Study New Mexico USA Program. Thanks to the Study New Mexico USA Program, Mrs.Phuong, and Mr. Kristian for being so awesome." - Vi Tran Yen
