University of Nevada-Las Vegas Top Questions

I haven't found anything that frustrated me about UNLV thus far. My advisors have been helpful, my classes have been engaging, and there are plenty of times to choose from for classes so that my schedule well for me.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that it's not in Los Angeles, where I'm originally from. Vegas is an amazing city with tons of opportunity, but it's just not home.

The sciences are often overlooked and not much funding is provided. Although it is adequate, more can definitely be done.

some of the professors

The most frustrating thing about the school is the lack of parking on certain days, as there are a lot of concerts, meetings, and events that go on on-campus, and the university reserves some of the best parking for those events rather than for students who pay for a parking permit every year.

Some of the general education courses are useless.

The most frustrating thing about UNLV is the transition from high school standards to college standards. High school really is a joke compared to the bar set for you on the college level. Emphasis from your social life becomes more focused on your education and career. At times it can be frustrating not being able to hang out with your friends as much. The only specific UNLV frustration is traffic on the way to school if you do not live on campus.

paper work processing takes way too long. i turned in a transcript with credits from another college twice, a year and half ago and about 4 months ago, and they are still not in the system that they're taken.

The most frustrating thing academic wise is there are a few really good professors, but there are a lot of really bad ones. Many professors are ethnic, cannot speak english, and have terrible teaching methods. I personally cannot learn in a big classroom enviroment and there are many large classes as well.

The most frustrating part of my school is finding the time to do everything. I am involved in a fraternity, christian fellowship group, work 20 hours a week, and have to do my school work as well. So it is very time consuming.

There's never enough open computers in the library to study on, and most of the people on the computers are just on myspace or checking their email instead of studying.

The fact that it is not a old school so their is not a lot of alumni which means the school needs all the students money to keep going. This makes tuition costs higher for current students.

The most frustrating thing about UNLV is having to walk so far from class to class. The campus is huge and the shuttles do not drop you off close to where you need to be. The parking at UNLV is also terrible.

Prerequisites to get into a class. High standards. I am an average student - C grades. I think I should still be able to fund my education without maintaining a 2.0 or higher GPA. I want to play baseball but because I come from a rural area they don't want to look at me unless they have to fight over me with another school. Even though I have the caliber to play ball.

people that dont want to get involved especially those who are against student organizations.

That there is no school spirit, and no parking

The LACK OF SCHOOL SPIRIT!!! And it being a commuter campus.

Too many people in my classes, and it seems like all the professors have this monotone rude attitude about them. Besides any Art department teachers.

The advisors do not know how to "advise" students. Students must figure everything out for themselves (only the engineers). Also, there are never enough quiet study rooms in the library.

the lack of activities that don't involve going to the strip
