Ive never been to (or heard of) either Socorro or Santa Barbara. What are they like?
A. Both NM Tech and Westmont campuses are small, and quiet in the summer. Socorro is an old Spanish mission town about an hour south of Albuquerque. New Mexico Tech is our host campus there. Weather conditions are perfect for astronomy until the “monsoon season” starts sometime in July, bringing frequent evening thunderstorms. Westmont is in Montecito just outside of Santa Barbara, about 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles; cooler than Socorro, which is great except when the dense “marine layer” fog rolls in from the ocean.
