25. Hi Gloria...I'm originally from the East Coast and lived in New Jersey
for many years (Flemington), have lived in the West before (California and Colorado) and am now, for a couple of reasons, interested in New Mexico...Las Cruces sounds great...The weather sounds great (compared to Chicago!) and I especially like the idea of it being a college town, as it were.
I know that Albuquerque and/or Santa Fe?..also have UNM campuses, and I was wondering, how, in your opinion, those two areas compare - weatherwise, etc. - with Las Cruces.

Thanks.
Arlene (Naryaquid)

p.s. The housing prices sure sound better than Jersey OR the Chicago area!
