When I talk about my school to others who are interested in going themselves, I always tell them about how much opportunity there is to get help when struggling with coursework. The teachers are always willing to help students in need and when the teachers are not available, there are plenty of tutors who will help. Also, it is very easy to meet new people in and out of class who can help with problems by forming study groups or just working one on one.

When my friends ask me what I enjoy about Reno, I tell them it's so much easier to access services and recreational activities than my hometown, Las Vegas. It was so hard to go hang out with friends or find something to do that wasn't in the casinos or required money. In Reno, there was always a planned activity on campus or a recreational activity out at Lake Tahoe, the Truckee River, or the plenty of hiking trails. All of these things were always, "No car required".

To me, my academic success and future employment are vital. My parents are making many sacrifices and are spending a ton of money in order to support me in building a solid foundation for success. Because of this, I find myself bragging about the employment record and reputation of the Mining Engineering program at the University of Nevada. Almost one hundred percent of graduating students in the mining engineering program find employment in their field, and Mackay School of Mines has a great reputation in the field. In addition, there are many passionate professors wh continue to inspire me!

What is the main source of the additional mass present in the oak tree? 1.) Water from the soil 2.) Minerals from the soil 3.) Carbon-dioxide in the air 4.) Light. Most people choose light to be the main source for plant growth, but it's actually the carbon from the air. I brag to my friends about what I learn.

The disability department and advisors are wonderful. They are caring, not only about you as an individual, but they care about your past, present, and future. They want you to be successful during your college experience and after. What I found most helpful is that they did their very best to accomodate your needs. The staff takes time to listen to you and any concerns you may have about something. It is because of the disability center that I have, and am succeeding in my college experience.

The small class sizes. I am often in classes of thirty students or less.

Being in a sorority, being so close to Lake Tahoe, and the great night life that Reno has.

This is Nevada's first and oldest university campus! UNR is full of rich history and is conveniently located in the City of Reno. The grounds are so beautiful and it is a pleasure to walk from class-to-class and enjoy the many manifestations of modern and classic archetecture. The faculty and staff that I have encountered have always been extremely friendly, professional, knowlegable and desirous of my success. The Matthewson-IGT Knowledge Center is always available to assist me with computing, research and study; it is a state-of-the-art Library that I absolutely love to visit!
