University of Nevada-Reno Top Questions

The University of Reno is breath taking; it really is the heart of the city, that being said, UNR just isn't the right place for people who are looking for adventure, excitement, and lots of options to keep occupied aside from the university. Reno, "The biggest little city," isn't for those who constantly like to be on the move, who are easily bored by routine, and for those who enjoy the night life of big cities such as: New York and Las Vegas.

The type of people that should not attend UNR are the kind of people who feel they are too good to learn something new or something different from their conventional knowledge. I feel that if a person is close minded and don't want advise and think they know everything, they shouldn't attend any school because their negative learning outlook will distress others that want to learn new things.

People who are unmotivated to go after their dreams. I have seen a few mutual friends fail out because they dont want to walk to class in the cold or wake up early for an 8am class.

I think if someone is not ready for college then, they shouldn't attend any college. It takes dedication to attend a college no matter what level the school is said to be. But to be fair this is a school for anyone looking to seek a higher education and learn about things that will make them a better person in their endeavors.

People who don't like school spirit should not come here. UNR is just overflowing with school spirit everywhere you turn.

Lazy and generally uneducated people should not attend this university. There is alot of work that is fairly difficult. If you are lazy and uneducated you will be unable to complete the work and will fail. Thats alot of money to just but in to flunk out.

A person who is not ready to go to college yet, and a person who doesn't take their school work seriously.

A person who doesn't like the cold, it does snow and is cold.

I think anyone who values education and wants to pursue higher education belongs here at the University of Nevada Reno. You can find so many programs of interest that are offer here and staff in each program are able to help guide you thru any questions. Any student belongs here and for me it was a great university to start and I am proud to be here today.

A person that isn't willing to work hard in order to make their goals a reality shouldn't attend this school. They have to be able to reach out and ask for help when needed in order to make their college experience be as successfull as possible.

Anyone who can not prioritize their time and efforts. There are many fun activities located in and around Reno, so if you cant focus on school and save skiing, snowboarding, hiking, or white water rafting for the weekends. You may run into some trouble here.

There is not a type of person that shouldn't attend UNR. The University has a lot to offer anyone with any variety of interests. If an individual was told to not attend the University I would guess that it was a result of their lack of motivtion. My counter would be one from personal experience. Day to day, from listening to lectures to personal study time, motivation comes to me and continues to exert itself upon my lifestyle. I belive all people can benefit from any ammount of time spent on the University of Nevada, Reno campus.

Lazy and unmotivated people.

I feel as though prospective students should avoid UNR if they are looking to have their hand held. The professors and staff are brilliant, even more so by refusing to treat their classes as anything less than adults entirely responsible for their own affairs. Students applying for the University of Nevada-Reno should be autonomous, studious, and capable of efficiently scheduling their time between classwork, extracurricular responsibilities, and free-time.

I don't know that I would say there is a type of person who shouldnt attend this school. There are so many options for so many different types of people and personalities to fit in. I would say that if you give in to peer pressure, and you are very academically determined that I would not attend this school. People do party, but as long as you know you will be able to stay on track with school you will be fine here. In fact, I believe you will love it!

This school best accomadates a vast majority of students, and it is hard for me to say which student shoudn't attend this school because there is something for everyone.

For me, I really can not judge and say who should or should not attend this school. If an individual feels that they can succeed, and do well, then I would encourage them to do so. I would say never to give up without giving it a chance. Even if a person thinks they might not make it, the only way is to try it out for a semester and try to prove themselves wrong. Personally, I think everyone should have the chance to attend any school they can afford and worked hard to get to. Go for your dreams.

I believe everybody can attend this university because if they are looking to make their lives better and want to expand their knowledge then any university will be fine as long as they are ready learning. It all depends on the person if he or she is willing to further their education because UNR has many different majors and is suited for just about anybody.

The diversity at this school is very limited. Students belonging to minority groups will find it very difficult to cope, due to the lack of resources for students of different cultural backgrounds or economic status.

People who aren't motivated to pursue their education and are only concerned in the "fun" aspects of college should not attend this school.
