University of Nevada-Las Vegas Top Questions

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas is a beautiful and diverse campus. It allows for every student to have a safe and comfortable college experience with the many clubs and activities they offer. The amount of students applying to UNLV rises every year and as of fall 2014 the university experienced a huge growth in the amount of freshman. With the university's population steadily growing the demand for parking spaces also increases. The parking at UNLV is a horrible situation and you have to come to campus very early just to get to class on time.

The worst thing about our school would be that sometimes its difficult to get a class since each person is given a set date and time so you dont always get the classes you want which in turn may set you back a bit.

The worst thing about my school is that it is located in a city. It is behind the Las Vegas Strip. We see a lot of crime that happens around the school. It is also an open campus so there are many protesters on campus. It can be really loud. When studying outside or even in the library there can be a lot of noise. The campus is also located by the air port so there you here planes going over all the time. It could be a distraction.

The worst thing about my university to me would be the tuition, but honestly isn't that the biggest concern for all college students that don't have their parents paying for them? The second worse thing for me would be the courses that require certain books you can only find on campus. Why in the world do we have to pay a $100 more for a textbook we're only using for 15 weeks? Especially if all we really need are the school-unique access codes so we can do our homework!

The surrounding area is kinda ghetto. People on campus are awesome, but people in Las Vegas the city are not very nice and they drive like absolute lunatics! Very unpleasant off campus.

The worst thing about my school is that the campus is spread out, it doesn't seem much like a normal college campus.

I think the worst thing about my school is that I never felt like there was a lot of school pride. We have events in the beginning of the school year, but that’s about it. The most school pride we have had in a long time was when we won our football game against UNR. For the most part it just felt like people were really only there to get their education and that there wasn't more things that brought people together to celebrate our school.

I would consider the worst thing about my school is that we don't have sorority or fraternity houses like most universities. I feel that it's very untraditional, and unfair to the students at UNLV seeing as how many people decide the join greek life. Being in a sorority myself, I can say that we do so much for the community and put countless hours into our philanthropies, we have only positively benefited our school and the city of Las Vegas. I see no reason why we can't have what hundreds of other colleges have, a greek row.

The school is located in a very metropolitian area where there is a lot of traffic. Getting to school and trying to find parking on campus can take a very long time and can be a hassle.

The worst thing about my school is the library during study week. There is not enough computers for all the students. Also, all of the tables are taken and the study rooms are full. There needs to be more room in the library. One option the campus could do is make sure that there is more than one person per table or more than one person per room. This will allow for more efficient space management.

As I have already stated, I am a newly transfered student to UNLV. I have not found a worst thing, at least yet, but then again I may not find anything so bad that I would consider devise a worst list about UNLV.

I highly do not favor the smoking on the campus, especially right outside buildings. It is great that there are certain areas on campus that allow people to smoke, (though it would be better if there were less areas. Probably one in all corners of campus, then one in the middle) but having the adversity to have someone blow cigarette air in your face right after you step out of a productive class period really keeps one from being focused in the next class.

It's more of a commuter school

For engineering students at Johnson And Wales, there isnt quite much besides the classes. What I mean when you think engineering you see your self after hours working with friends creating and exploring new things. Sadly JWU is too concentrated in ther Culinary Degrees and have forgottern of their engineers. Their School of technology could be way more, but they dont see it that way. If you want a quick view of the profeesion is good, as a long term study (4 years) , go to another University.

The worst thing about my school is the limited funding. The limited funding reduced the amount of money the teachers were given for school supplies and the funding for public transportation to school- for those who did not have vehicles. The limited funding also has reduced the employment of teachers as well as programs/majors in social sciences and art.

The worst thing about my school is that there is no definate online progress report that all professors check into like in highschool. Unless a student emails the teacher or an online program is included with the class's book, it is hard to know what ones progress is until the semester is over. There should be a site such as intouch for college students. It should also be manditory that the professors use it. This way everyone could have a better grade.

Because so many students are not originally from Las Vegas or the Las Vegas area, many still want to venture out of this city and go back to their original state. This makes students that attend school at UNLV have less school unity and school pride because they wish to be elsewhere.

This school does not have much school spirit. The football stadium is across town off campus and not many students attend. We have an awesome basketball team and are quite competitive in that sport. The school is a communter school so at night and on weekends the school is dead. Most students take classes monday- thursday so friday - sunday no one is on camous. The reason for this is very cheap housing in the area. The cost of living on campus is far greater than renting a place of your own.

The parking was not very convenient. Students pay a lot for a parking pass and event goers get preferential parking.
