The professors I have taken really have a passion for what they teach. Of course you'll run into the professors the student body isn't fond of but thats a given at any campus. My experience with student teachers has also been a good one. The student teachers really relate to the students and also strive to be successful with their teaching.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
UNLV takes alot of flack from local high school students because everyone wants the college experience, but this school has pleasantly surprised me. Besides the inevitable budgets cuts that a down economy has put upon the school, the programs here are pretty good. The Law school is 78th in the nation and the Hotel Administration program is one of the best in the world. The city itself is a great place to live. Besides the nightlife (when you turn 21), Runnin Rebel Basketball and other sports are always fun to go see, as well as the plethora of concert venues that are just down the street.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For the amount I'm learning and the amount I'm paying I do think I'm getting the bang for my buck. With a great base of professors and so many on campus facilities to help succeed (counselors, tutoring, writing center) I feel that my tuition is not being wasted.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't slack off too much. I mean, it is college and with a lower quantity but higher quality of assignments its easy to forget and get wrapped up in other things besides school. The city has a lot to offer as means of entertainment and the campus has just as much to offer in helping you through your courses.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
UNLV is mainly a commuter school with a larger population from the Las Vegas area but its not limited to local kids. Future Law students may look into UNLV and the rising Boyd School of Law. As mentioned students looking into Hotel Management I definitely recommend UNLV's world renowned program. The history department is also currently rising up and is developing a close association with the Brookings Institute, a Washington think tank. The Business school is AACSB accredited and it is also one of the only schools in the world thats has a dual accreditation for the college and specialized fields of accounting.
