University of Nevada-Reno Top Questions

The "Pack" is unique becasue it is the original and very first university to arise in Nevada. The history dates back to 1874 when The University of Nevada Reno was first introduced as The State University in Elko, which is my hometown. Being that this school is almost ancient, one can feel the power of knowledge walking through the "Quad", the University's original landscape before more and more buildings of halls and classrooms for the growing school population began to flourish. My family confides in UNR and I see myself leaving it with a diploma in my hand.

This school was well qualified to expand my knowledge of the course of study that i was interested in and it allowed me to be close enough to my family that i can take care of them on the weekends or just visit.

Not only is my school beautiful in appearance, but it is filled with a ton of beautiful people.

One thing that I find to be unique about the University of Nevada is its physical growth throughout history. This land grant University was founded in 1874 as a single building that is known as Morrill Hall. Morrill Hall was physically moved from its origninal location in Elko to Reno in 1885. Since that time, the university has continued to expand. From the old Morrill Hall, all the way to the solar powered Knowledge Center and Joe Crowley Student Union, the University displays a history in its architecture alone.

Other schools I have considered were all out of state, and therefore more expensive. While the college I'm attending isn't exactly a top-ranking national university, it still gives me a broad range of diverse classes to choose from. We specialize in mining and engineering, and we have a large portion of the campus dedicated to our School of Medicine. Plus it makes me feel at home while I am not too far away from actual home.

UNR provides exactly what I've needed in order to pursue my career goals. I have always felt welcomed and comfortable. Opportunities are always available and I feel like I have had a more personalized experience with the professors I've had and work for.
