University of Nevada-Reno Top Questions

Just the DC food seems to be the same and it gets boring. Other than that the dorms are nice, the campus is beautiful and the teachers and professors are very friendly and ready to help if they need to.

The school where I recieved my BA degree is a smaller University. There are limited prgrams to go into as a graduate student, which forced me to consider other Universities out of State. I am currently going to the Univeristy of Arizona Tucson in the Art Education program under the School of Art focusing on Museum and Community Art. I would have loved to stay at UNR for any graduate program offered in the ARTdepartment, however they only recently sbegan an MFA program allowing 4 new students to enter each time. Not an accessable program to get into.

I would say that the worst thing about my school is the lack of communication. It is very difficult to get ahold of anyone, mainly administation.

When it came down to this question I took nearly an hour disecting what the worst thing could be about the University of Nevada Reno. The one major thing that I can think of is how our library is not open longer during the hours people prefer. Our main library is only open till midnight and most students who occupy that area wish it could be open longer hours. People tend to me more mad during the exam week, where the library is only open till twelve on dead day when exams are the next day, it should be longer.

U.N.R. is unfortunately the beacon of prosperity in a city that is wrought with crime and filth. It is difficult to feel safe walking even 300 yards into the city. I have, on occasion been aggressively followed by bums that made me fear for my life. The campus itself is a sanctuary in what feels like a warzone. Downtown Reno harbors some of the most vile thieves and drug-abusers and is only a 10-minute walk away. It is shameful that such a wonderful domicile is marred by a putrid locale.

The worst thing about UNR is that it is not that well known.

At this time, the University of Nevada, Reno seems to be at the mercy of a bureucracy that has been short-sighted in its management of University resurces. There is an outrageous amount of buoilding going on on campus and at the same time, the university is cutting programs right and left. UNR has prided itself on offering over 80 master's programs, but has not adequately prioritized the funding and staffing of these programs.

Well there are two things that I don't really like about my school. One is that the upper division classes are only offered once a year. Second sometime the library is so full in load that it is hard to study.

The worst thing about IUPUI is that it is a commuter school. That means the majority of people drive to campus everyday. Before I became I student here I did not believe it was a problem, but I now realize it is. On campus during weekends, there are barely any students walking around. I wish the campus had more activities and was more social.

The only thing that I would say is extremele detrimental to the student-university relationship is the tuiton. It really is quite a challenge. I would recommend to any enterprising young student to be very sure and aware of their college budget.
