The location of UNR as well as the low cost of tuition sets it apart from most universities. I chose UNR because I would be able to attend college without accumulating massive debt while also getting a good education in a good location.

We have a very unique environment here in Reno. It's great to be so close to the mountains, but Nevada is also a desert. The wide range of weather conditions is great.

The campus vibe is so laid back and casual, the class rooms are always weloming to students participating, even for students who tend to be more shy. UNR is a pretty big school, but by being active and involved, I really felt that it was smaller by the time I left. Campus life is great, you get to really know you peers.

Reno, Nevada provides a very unique setting for college. It has all of the conveniences that one might find in a larger city; however, it also maintains the comfort and feel of a smaller town. There's an active scene for those who enjoy the night life as well as tons of outdoor activities for those who are more inclined toward those types of activities. For these reasons, UNR is a very fun and diverse campus, and you never run out of things to occupy what little free time you will have during college.

As an Engineer Major, I am truly impressed with the programs the School of Engineering offers. There are clubs specific to each major that help students in areas regarding their major. We have ASCE, ASME, IEEE, and more. The school also include students in events such as the Concrete Canoe Competition and the Human Powered Vehicle. This allows students to learn and to get involved in activities they are interested in.

The school spirit at the University of Nevada, Reno sets in apart in many ways from other institutions. Not only are athletics a huge outlet for students to come together but also the overall environment of the campus. There are many opportunities for students from all different backgrounds to come together and find a common interest or purpose.
Chase
The convenience of the city and the close proximity to a variety of climates.

MY SCHOOL IS UNIQUE BECAUSE OF ITS LOCATION. IT IS ONLY A HALF HOUR DRIVE TO TAHOE, AND A TEN MINUTE DRIVE TO DOWNTOWN.

What is unique about my school, that it is not far from my home/family. It alows me to see my family often than if I were far away going to school. There are jobs in the casino business that provide students to be able to pick up a part time job and go to school part time. For example, I was a bartener for two years and was able to save enough money to help pay for my first two years at the university. Also, there are only two universities in the whole state of Nevada, UNLV and UNR.

I like the design of the school, all of the buildings are beautiful and made out of red bricks. It is much different from Hawaii, where I am from. I also like the fact that they offer a lot of extra curricular activities, such as intramural sports, multi-cultural clubs, and student government. We have a variety of different programs and what is unique is that the students are able to create their own clubs if they want to. And with the many clubs, its easy to make friends, do community service, and have a good time.
