Review of University of Nevada-Reno

from Fallon, NV

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

This is a research University, so if you are looking for honesty and integrity, this is the college to attend. There are many research opportunities for Undergraduates, so they can expand their knowledge beyond the classrooms. They also have an honor's program for interested students.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

There are many residence halls to choose from, or many surrounding houses/apartments so you can be close to campus. The campus itself is very beautiful with a small lake, and several areas for play or relaxing in the grass under beautiful trees.

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

The only way to go cheaper for Nevada students is not to attend a University. There are scholarships available on their website, as well as scholarships they give out annually based on GPA. Don't forget about the millennium scholarship!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Don't be afraid to see your professor during office hours. With large classes, it can be hard to get the 1 on 1 attention to understand everything the professor is teaching. Most classes also have Teaching Assistants to help you too. Sit in the front, so the teacher gets to know and recognise you a bit more. You are going to want to pull a few of your favorite teachers aside later for internship, job, scholarship, or other applications.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Great for students going into science fields. Great for Nevada students with low college budgets.
