Review of University of Nevada-Las Vegas

from North Las Vegas, NV

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The learning experience is quite beneficial, even though many would think being an in-state student doesn't give anyone an advantage. I would have to disagree with many who think that way. I can say that my entrance into UNLV was a pleasant surprise because I have learned more than what I initially expected. The professors have all been extremely motivated to teach and provide an enjoyable learning environment. So far as a sophomore at UNLV I am quite pleased with the learning that I have experienced thus far.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

UNLV is very practical and has provided me with the proper learning experience. It has also enabled me to keep a well functioning job at the university. The only criticism that I do have to say on this topic is that because many do not live on campus, many are not as involved with campus events. I for one would like to become more involved with on-campus activities, such as clubs or other organizations. You have to make your college experience what you want it to be.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

The price of the university is extremely efficient, especially if you are an in-state student. Not only does the Millenium Scholarship cover a good portion of tuition, but if you add that with other scholarships you can go without paying out of pocket. Students do get their money's worth and in my opinion more because of these price benefits.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

The biggest insight tip that I have for prospective students is to become involved on campus. That is the key to having an enjoyable college experience. As far as academics go, form study sessions and use all of the resources the Academic Success Center on campus offers. Professors are also there to help, although they may seem intimidating at times, they're probably the best resource you can have. Stay on top of your game and you'll be fine.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

UNLV is great for all types of students, jocks, international students, etc. Diversity is definitely shown on campus, there are all types of students attending this university. Like any other place, some departments do have more funding then others but everyone just has to work with what they are offered.
