ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - University of New Mexico officials say the number of freshmen and transfer students enrolled this fall is up compared to last year.
UNM announced some of its fall semester numbers Tuesday. The figures are based on data from the first day of classes, which was Monday.
Overall enrollment stands at 28,038. That's down 0.3 percent from last year. The count of freshmen rose nearly 2 percent to 3,376. That includes a 6 percent increase in nonresident freshmen.
