I am a foriegn pharmacists who is applying for an internship in New Mexico and the cities that I have been offered to work are Clovis or Hobbs. Please I need from you some help. Which city is better (weather, income, people or things like that). The thing is that I am going alone I am single and I am a little bit afraid to go to a new country and a new city.

Thank you all a lot.

I hear it's very hard to find anywhere to live in Hobbs as there are about 1,000 construction workers living there taking up all the apts etc..building the new nuclear facility in Eunice.
As for the comparisons of cities although they both are around 35,000 people to me Clovis is way more beautiful and newer looking than Hobbs. Clovis reminds me of the plains of Oklahoma and Hobbs of the West Texas panhandle desert. But that's just my thought about the 2 places and i root for both to grow and thrive.
Llerena-how ya doin"? Sadly Hobbs isn't getting a lot of love on this forum. For sure, Clovis is the nicer town of the two, especially from the standpoint of the bigger cities being closer (Amarillo, Lubbock, Albuquerque).
6/3 is right- the nuclear facility at Eunice, about 15 miles south of Hobbs, is creating a shortage in housing. But keep in mind these jobs are construction, and once the construction is done and a power plant maintenance crew takes the project, then housing is a different situation.
I'm going to tilt towards Clovis because of the housing shortage. But, like 6/3, I like to see SE New Mexico hold its own. I worked on a 161 mile pipeline in the 80's, the last 3 weeks of the job our work yard was based out of Hobbs. I enjoyed my stay there!
