University of Nevada-Las Vegas Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of Nevada-Las Vegas? Why?

rachael

The school is not centered in a college town. The nevada heat is extremely uncomfortable

Stephanie

The worst thing about my school is that the sororities and fraternities do not have Greek houses. It would be nice if my school could provide the Greek life with houses. Right now they either live in a dorm room or live in a house all together far from campus. If the sororities and fraternities were to get houses, it would make the University of Nevada, Las Vegas seem more like a university.

Alix

The worst thing about my school is that there is an increasing rate of tuition that students will have to pay. This hurts my financial status and forces me to worry more about money than studies, and this interference could trickle down towards my grades as the focus goes from schoolwork to finances. Therefore making it harder for me to gain the education that I long for.

I am not currently at the University of las vegas yet.

David

everyone is up at most hours of the night and it is hard to study at times. the environement itself does not fully give students the advantage of personal study time.

Alexia

I would have to say our sports, though they are not the worst they definitely are not considered the greatest.

Katherine

UNLV is a very large campus and somethimes some of the newer buildings arent on some of the directories making it sort of difficult to get around at first. Other then that I have no complaints about my university.

Gregg

The school lacks funding. We have had many budget cuts in the past year or so, leaving many classes with limited space. A biology class, for example, had over 200 students looking to enroll, but only 125 spaces were available. This leaves dedicated students fighting for a spot that a less-dedicated student may have.

Sasha

The worst thing about my school has to be the "carts" that room around campus. Although they do not go very fast, they are pesky when one is trying to get around campus and it happens to be crowded. The drivers of these crazy vehicles are rude and do not pay attention to signs that read " no carts beyond on this point". Of all things to hate the carts would be my largest hatred.

Pashtana

UNLV is infamously known as a "commuter campus." This means that there is a lot of apathy as far as school spirit is concerned. Because the population of students ranges in age and lifestyle, it's hard to get them all excited about sports or other things.

Vickie

The qualification process for some of the adjunct professors and follow up on how well they interact and teach to the students could be at a much higher quality level.

Antoniya

Parking, parking, parking! Very limited; parking permits are very expensive.

Lakesha

Well, I live far away from my school and I have to take three buses to get there, it takes two hours for me to get there, and it's expensive among other things. I like the campus, the teachers, and the voice program, but the transportation is alittle hard at times.

Aaron

UNLV is just so darn perfect. The University of Nevada- Las Vegas truly allows students seeking a higher education to fulfill their dreams. With a well staffed campus, UNLV offers courses in over a hundred differents studies and allows the student the option of pursuing what interest him of her. Having grown up in Las Vegas, UNLV has grown in size, effectiveness, and popularity in such a small period of time. Soon some of the "Worlds Most Famous" will be UNLV Alumni. As this school is helping to fulfill my dreams, I soon will be one of them.

Christina

I think the worst part is finding a way to get the proper textbooks for class. Sometimes you get stuck with books that you don't want or need. I'm still trying to figure out a system that works for me.

Tyler

The student body is budget conscious and as a result are strongly agianst raises in tuition. The result it extensive budget cuts that mainly effect the number of avaiable classes. At this point I would wager that it is almost impossible to graduate on time.

Angela

The worst thing about my school would have to be its location. It is not in the best of areas, there are many homeless people on the campus and many do not consider it safe after dark. Since I am a young female I try to attend all early classes so I do not have to deal with the problem people that often inhabit the area.

Ricalynn

I don't think there's anything bad about UNLV. I left CSULB for UNLV, and after my 1st semester I've thorougly enjoyed it and can't wait to start my 2nd semester! Everything about the school, specifically my college, makes me feel like this is where I should be. I'm in the right city and right college for a career in Events and Meetings Management.

Sherrel

They administration doesn't seem to care about the success of the students. When making complaints regarding a teacher, nothing is ever done regarding the issues.

Jared

I can not think of anything bad about UNLV. It is a good learning environment. Living on campus with "Sin City" all around you could turn into a distraction. Growing up in Las Vegas, the distraction is not really there for me.
