University of Nevada-Reno Top Questions

It's close to home, yet there's so many better resources and educational opportunities that are available.

It is close to downtown Reno, with all of the nightlife such as clubs, casinos, and restaurants. It has a designated area where students graduate called the "Quad." There are many libraries at UNR where people can study. In addition, our library has the MARS, which stores books that haven't been checked out in over seven years in temperature controlled bins, where a robot collects a book in there and sends it down to the main library front desk. My school has more than two hundred fifty clubs and fraternities, so it makes it easy to get involved.

The University of Nevada Reno is located in one of the most beautiful places. Here in Reno, there is every different season. Not far from the campus is the amazing Lake Tahoe and amazing places to ski and snowboard. On campus is even better! The campus is big enough to make you feel like you're at a huge uinveristy but still small enough not to get lost amoung all the people. Walking to class you will see at least 10 people you know but also see many new faces.

UNR was somewhat of a college town, the perfect amount of students and others living their lives in the area. I never had an issue finding somewhere to live and it was always within ten minutes of campus without having to get on the freeway. The campus was so close to downtown that there was plenty of fun things to do at a low cost. Part of the campus was old, original buildings built with beautiful red brick and surreounded by nature. Then, there was the brand new part of campus that was also built so architectually savvy and beautiful.

What is unique about my school compared to other schools is the scale and diversity of the campus. A tier one school, the university of Nevada, Reno has a relatively small number of students when compared to other universities, and yet has such a large and expansive campus. The campus houses multiple faculties such as department buildings to help students of any major, different libraries that specialize in different areas of study, and multiple recreational buildings for students to take part in.

We have huge school spirit!

I originally was considering top-level ivy league schools, but even with some of the highest scholarships offered, I could not afford these universities. The University of Nevada is within my financial bouds and still provides a great education. I feel very welcomed here, and I feel like there is a lot of involvement on campus. There are so many clubs available, so many activities to take part in, and it's a Tier 1 University. All of these points, plus the low financial obligation makes it a great school to attend.

I personaly feel that everyone at the University of Nevada, Reno is more like a family than just a school. We all come together during so many different events that happen on campus and around town.

University of Nevada has a strong Honors Program and a small-town atmosphere.

Their program for women going into any science field is very supportive and broad. I want to go into Biochemistry research and there are many research projects and labs being worked on that an undergraduate student like me can be a part of. These experiances will prepare me for any future career.

The unique thing about my school is it's location. The University of Nevada is located in the heart of the Truckee Meadows which provides astounding scenery to the west towards the Sierras. It is just a short drive to the wilderness where students can experience hiking trails, skiing, and Lake Tahoe. The University is one of the most beautiful campuses located west of the Mississippi River.

My school is unique because we are a big family. Instead of being the "wolves" we are the wolf pack. We are one big pack striving for knowledge, excitement, and victory.

What is truly unique about the University of Nevada-Reno which is in fact the reason why I chose it, is the fact that it urpasses the expectations most have. Not many people see this school as a great school, especially the Las Vegas natives like myself, but the University of Nevada-Reno offers so many opportunities for students inside and outside of classes. Choosing to attend this university has been one of the best decisions of my life, and I would never choose a different university!

Compared to my last university, this school is much bigger and has a more welcoming campus, which takes your mind away from the fact that you're in a high desert with not much of a city around you, and creates its own little mini-city within the confines of the campus.

Something that is super cool about the University of Nevada is that it is funky. Reno in general in funky. It's my hometown and I love it here. You can walk downtown, and see a concert in the park right on the river with fire dancers one day, and then the next day walk across the street and see a white water kayak competition. Then in the winter, you are 20 minutes from some of the gnarliest skiing in America. It's an awesome environment to live in.

The University of Nevada, Reno was unique to me because of how much they have to offer. The campus is gorgeous and a joy to walk around, the professors are passionate about their jobs, and not only are there many options for classes there are also many time slots offered to take them in.

UNR is small enough to have a lot of interaction between students (you see a lot of the same faces) while still being surrounded by new faces all the time. At UNR, I am able to balance my major (Business Marketing) with extracurriculars as well as stay involved with music and the performing arts, something that is hard to do at a lot of bigger universities.

This school is considered to be the best university in-state.

The area around it extremely diverse which allows scientists and others to enjoy different weather, plants, animals, and scenery at any time of the year. It also allows for many different clubs to be active throughout the year. Also its right next to downtown where there are many shops and events happening everymonth so for those wanting to stay near campus they have just a short walk to enjoy some things that Nevadans only have to offer.

It is very cheap and good quality for the cost.
