Students at New Mexico State University are being warned by campus police about traveling to the Mexican border city of Juarez.
Police sent e-mail alerts to students Tuesday, warning of the continuing violence in Ciudad Juarez. More than 500 people have been murdered there this year in a wave of violence blamed on drug gangs.
NMSU’s fall semester begins Thursday. The first Thursday of each semester is also traditionally when students head to Juarez nightclubs.
