University of Nevada-Las Vegas Top Questions

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

Ashley

One of the most challenging things about UNLV is probably that it is located near the middle of downtown Las Vegas. The traffic can sometimes make it difficult to get to and from classes. Most of the students that attend this college are commuter students making traffic very heavy which occasionally causes delays. Trying to find a parking spot near campus can also occassionally be difficult, especially without a parking pass, which costs quite a bit of money.

The worst thing about my school would be the fact that we have to pay for parking. I feel that as tuition is going up and our economy is going down, the university should take that into consideration and ease up on the parking fees. Also, the tend to give out a lot of parking tickets which I think is a little ridiculous. I also feel that the area of my school isn't too nice. UNLV's location makes it hard for me to take night classes in fear of being harmed.

Marina

The worst thing is probably that recently it has gotten a bit over crowded, and there isn't enough parking. Other than that i cnt think of another reason.

Jorica

I do not consider it the worst thing, but one of the disadvantages of the university is that it is huge. Getting around can sometimes be a little exhausting if a class is on one side of the campus and then the next class is on the other side of campus.

Jean

The food choices they offer, no alternative for vegans. All surrounding restaurants and shops are all tattoo parlors and hookah lounges.

Ryan

That there was not real drive for the students to succeed in film.

Jasmine

Due to the fact that Las Vegas is extremely transient and people often move here and then relocate after school, it is difficult to build lasting relationships with students, faculty, and staff. Becuase UNLV is primarily a commuter school it is difficult to make friends and establish a feeling of school and community commaradarie becuase students do not socialize or spend their free time on the campus. The majority of the students only come to campus for class and maintain a social life outside of school, I found this difficult because I was lonley at times.

Graham

The worst thing about the school at the moment is the lack of funding for various programs, organizations, and even faculty. Given the difficult economic times, the school has had to make massive budget cuts and some of the students have to bear the brunt of the cuts.

Kristie

Because of state budget cuts, this school has really gone downhill. It has cut out so many vital classes that students need to succeed and graduate. I fear for the quality of my education. Because of this, I am trying to go to another school.

Katrina

The apathy of the students and the city.
