    I have been with UPNM students in a few competitions and national exhibitions. They are definitely different from other learning institutions - they came by army trucks, wearing army uniforms instead of university buses and formal wears. macho giler!

    hi everyone, ur life will be tough here since NC change in 2008.. Life here will be damn packed for foundation.. Your time to sleep and study are reduced now.. you have to find ur own time to study.. If u dont want to be military officer dont apply here.. I’m sure u dont want to blame urself later on..
