Nevada State College is a college that is very diverse. There is a good majority of non-traditional students, mixed with young and old students. Faculty and staff are helpful and can always find an answer to your questions.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get involved! Your college experience is what YOU make of it, so join one of the clubs that are offered- anything from Chess Club to Latino Scorpions Club.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I have consistently felt challenged throughout my coursework with case studies, partner and group assignments as well as individual research.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Currently, Nevada State does not offer dorms, but we are looking into it for the near future!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
While we only have one cafe on campus (and that's where the three stars came from,) there are plenty of places to go just outside of one of campuses which is in the heart of downtown.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Besides joining student organizations? You can grab a bite to eat by just walking ten minutes, go to the car show or art exhibit or farmer's market (it changes every week!)
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I definitely think that this college is affordable and the cost does not affect the quality of education. In fact, I think that I receive a higher quality of education by being in smaller classes as opposed to a class of 120 in a bigger university. Faculty and staff work one-on-one with you and often times, even arrange times outside of their normal office hours or after class to explain a concept or give advice.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
We have a mountain right behind one of our campuses and we have dubbed it Mt. Scorpion and take hikes as big groups up the mountain various time throughout the year.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Every kind of student! Young, old, returning after a break, with children or without, married or single, continuing education after already obtaining your Bachelor's, etc.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
This past year, the student government approved 20+ clubs to be recognized. There is something for everyone Running club, Chess club, Kappa Delta Pi (academic organization for Education majors,) Latino Scorpions Club, Black Student Organization, Blue Marble and the list goes on! If you want to create a club, the process is easy and if any questions arise, a student government member or their adviser is more than happy to walk you through the process.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Our school is small and it is like a family environment, so much so that we even know our security guards by first name and feel safe. There haven't been any major problems that I have known of, but any minor problems (a disruptive person coming on to campus, for example) were taken care of swiftly and professionally that most people wouldn't even know that there was an issue to begin with.
