College of Southern Nevada Top Questions

I really enjoy going to school where I do and don't feel that there are a lot of bad things about it.

The worst thing about The College of Southern Nevada is the class availability. With recent budget cuts and lack of teachers, the choices are limited when it comes to scheduling for the next semester. You must plan ahead and sign up as soon as possible if you expect to get a good class time.

Having gotten used to the words of my peers telling me that college resources and offices were there for students' immediate use, I was expecting that to be true. That is not the case. I understand that the school employees have a job to keep; however, students come first. I should not have to keep calling and leavings messages to get a simple question answered. The worst thing about me school is that I have to wait DAYS before I have help.

The worst thing about my school is also what I find to be the best thing at my school. Csn doesn't offer all the courses that you need at there 3 locations so sometimes you have to go to UNLV to take the class you need. This could be bad because you have to travel further, but it can also be good to show people who attend Csn what it would be like at a University and in some cases help them to strive for their goal of getting there.

Parking by far. It just seems like there isn't enough parking for everyone and can cause problems when trying to get to class on time. I'm sure everything will calm down once it gets further into the semester.

The worst thing about my school is that there are so many students attending the school I have yet to take a class with the same student twice. The size of the school makes it very impersonal for its students. Not having an academic counselor assigned to each student makes it hard to communicate and decide your academic future. Every time you need advice you will end up with a different counselor that gives different advice.

The staff is so overwhlemed with students that it is hard to get businnes done sometimes. They lose paperwork, do not return emails or voicemails, it is somewhat undestandable, since the enrollment of 40k per semster. If you are dilegent about your quest to attend this school it can work for you.

Considering CSN is not a legitimate 4-year university, it is impossible to experience dorm life, and is difficult to obtain the source of independence that living away from home brings. I do not feel that I am getting the most out of college, that I better could if I was attending a university, where you learn to depend solely on yourself, meet and become great friends with the people around you (who may have come from all around the country), and proceed to get a well-achieved Bachelor's or Master's Degree.

The worst part about my school is the ratio of students to teachers, if the class size was smaller the quality of the teaching would rise in my opinion.

Lack of resources and available classes.
