Everyone knows college isn't gonna be easy, its a challenge. There are going to be teachers that only go over the general information in the lecture, leaving it up to you to learn the concepts through the book. But reading the book is required in all classes. There will also be teachers that go more in depth in the lectures, giving you a full understanding of the material before you study on your own. But all courses will offer a study group or tutoring, which is helpful when you don't get anything. Some teachers may have really thick accents, but that will just be another obstacle to overcome. So before you decide on your schedule, I recommend you look up the professor on ratemyprofessor.com, the reviews are usually straight on. Overall, you will learn a lot here, but you're going to have to put the time and effort in.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
There are many events, football games, Greek life, clubs and programs you can be involved in at UNLV. At the beginning of each semester UNLV holds a community fair for a week, where different organizations, clubs, fraternities and sororities set up tables inviting students to join. Everyone is very welcoming and when you find a club that's perfect for you, your experience at UNLV will increase as well. There may be different views on fraternity and sorority life, but its not what most people think. There are parties but they also hold charity events, do volunteer work, and have little competitions against each other. Joining a fraternities or sororities will help you make connections with people, can help you get a job, and even get guidance from graduate students. At UNLV, I would say I've had a blast here. From joining various clubs, going to football games and meeting new people. It's a very friendly environment, I guarantee you'll have a great college experience. Don't let not being 21 bring you down, there are more things to do here.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I know a lot of people who went out of state for schools, and if you are a in state student, going to UNLV should be your number one choice. There are a variety of students from all over the country and even some students from other countries. For out of state students, I know that out of other colleges, UNLV has the best tuition rates by far. Though there have been a few budget cuts as a result of the current economy.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
UNLV is a really good school. There are great teachers, some may be graduate students so they know what you are going through and may be even more helpful than professors. I would recommend this school to anyone.
