University of Nevada-Las Vegas Top Questions

I wish I would've known the lack of support the school gives to students apon starting here. The staff although friendly are not upto date on certain important facts regarding tuition.

One thing I wish I knew before I got to this school is that it's nothing like High School. Me personally came into this school thinking it would be somewhat similar to the high school atmosphere but it's nothing the same. University of Nevada Las Vegas is more work and more diverse than my high schoo.

Before coming to this school I was unaware that such a large number of students commute. It is really not the full college experience I was hoping for because there are very few students on campus but it is still a good place to get my education.

I wish I would have know the many opportunities that are available at UNLV before I came to school. College is about more then simply attending college. I wish I knew that in order to get the most of your college experience you need to get engaged, active, socialize, and network.

The cost is expensive, especially for out of state students.

Where the best places to park were and the short cuts both in your car and on foot to different parts of the university. Also, that you can take classes for free at the gym.

I wish I had known that there were many organizations to join as well as other active activities to take part in. As a freshman in college, I was not aware that there were multiple opportunities to be apart of the college diversity.

I wish I had known how fun it would be. I had no idea that there were so many things to do and activities to get involved in. I thought I would just study, go to class, and go home, but the students and faculty really make an effort to make sure there are opportunities for other students to get involved on campus. They are always reaching out to others. If I had known how friendly everyone would be, I would have planned for more time to become more involved in campus activities.

I wished they had more information about some of the courses that they are offering.

I wish that I knew how big the school really is and how many students are going in the campus because of the parking.

I wish I had known how certain people do not respond to issues in a timely matter.

I wish I knew how expensive college is before I started. I should have applied for more scholarships, it would be helping my family and I now if i did. I applied for so many, but I only recieved two scholarships. My parents are paying for my education out of their pocket and they have taken out a loan. My scholarship money is only helping a little on college costs. Before I came to this school I wish someone would have told me how expensive it is.

I really would have like to know how similar college classes are to high school classes. Much of the material that is covered in college classes are basically a repeat of what we learned in high school, just as a faster pace, and even still the pace is not as bad as people make it seem, it just takes time to get use to. If I would have known this I would have been more willing to take college classes as early as high school in order to avoid repeating things I have already learned.

I wish I knew how competitive the nursing program could be, I was not aware that the process of selecting nursing students could come down to a fraction of a point. I have come so close to being accepted for two semesters in a row, only to be told that I had to reapply. I was counting on this program to start my career however they changed the testing process halfway through my education process and made it easier for some students than others. The testing process has not been fair and that has been disappointing.

I wish I had not been so lazy when beggining college. I wish I signed up for more classes than just the minimum. I also wish that I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life so I did not waste money on classes I didn't need.

Before I came to UNLV, I wish that I knew that everyone on campus make the school much greater than what UNLV is given credit for. UNLV is a great school that has a great and helpful faculty, there are many opportunities such as clubs and orgainizations that students can join, and also that the school is very serious about helping students graduate with their degrees. UNLV is a much greater school than what others say it is to be.

I wished I had known exactly what I was getting into. When attending any university, it's best to know that studying is your best friend. Depending on the certain disipline you are majoring in, it's important to work hard and focus on your education. College is nothing like k-12 education. In college, you have to learn, not just memorize.

I wish i would have known that everything has a fee for something. In the music department you have to purchase a 50 dollor card to use the practice room, get a music locker, and get a piano pay a piano player for voice lessions. This is my first semester because I'm a transfer student, and everything else is good about my school, except for that.
