This is my first year at UNLV as a transfer student and it has been the best university experience for me. Every professor has provided me with rigorous, yet effective coursework that benefits me and is teaching me about my major. Take a tour here and you'll fall in love just like I did.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Come to class and get the best out of the education (you are paying for it). There are so many resources here to get hands on experience for your future and take advantage of it. Not every school has an environment like this.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Many of my classes have been hands on and that's the type of learning that I am best at. A professor can lecture all day, but if I have no reference point to what you are saying, then I'm never going to really learn what you're trying to tell me.
I have been academically challenged in new ways, but the professors are always willing to help.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I live off-campus so I can't accurately comment on this. From what I have heard, the dorms are okay but could improve.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
For commuter students, or those who don't have a meal plan - UNLV campus has the best food. The student union basically houses a mall food court with Panda Express, Starbucks, Subway, etc. We are also surrounded by other amazing restaurants that will fulfill any craving. Thai, Chinese, American, Italian, Hawaiian, literally everything. Alot of places around here also offer student discounts.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Anyone is prefers suburban areas over city. While Vegas is considered a city, it definitely has a more Suburban feel due to open areas and distances between buildings. I'm from Chicago and this a whole new change.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Greek life is EVERYTHING here. If you're not in a fraternity/sorority you are one of the rare few.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
There are alarms everywhere and I haven't had an issue with feeling unsafe on campus.
