University of Nevada-Reno Top Questions

One who is not determind to work hard and graduate and thinks college is all fun and games.

Someone who does not enjoy cold weather or the snow should not attend this school. Otherwise, I think all students can enjoy the University of Nevada.

A person who is not willing to put in the effort to learn should not attend this school.

A lazy person should definitely stay away from this school because there is a lot of work to do here. I haven't met one lazy person here, male or female, and it's great.

I would say that someone who does not like changing seasons (hot in summer and cold in winter) would not adapt well to the Reno/Tahoe area. Also someone who wants to be at a university that revolves around Greek life would maybe want to consider somewhere with more focus on fraternities and sororities. Reno has a city feel, but it is not a huge city so if a prospective student wants to be in a giant city, Reno probably is not the best choice for that person.

I believe that the University of Nevada, Reno is a school that can accomodate for every kind of person. There is a great diversity among the school that can be hard to find at other universities. Reno provides the city life that many young students crave, but also has a nature lovers side being only an hour from the beautiful Lake Tahoe. The feeling of acceptance I get from UNR is very great. I do not believe that anyone shouldn't attend this school because of the welcoming environment suitable for students of all types.

A person who does not know how to prioritize his/her responsibilities should not attent this school, because slacking off does not earn a person a degree in college. In addition to this people who choose to procrastinate rather than sticking to the task at hand, are less likely to succeed in the kind of challenges that students normally face in attending the university.

Somebody that is looking for extraordinary professors.

Someone that shouldn't attend this school is someone that will not push theirself in their academics. At this school the teachers and professors hold you responsible for anything due in their class without reminders. So a person who is not willing to go the extra mile in classes or are responsible enough will not be successful.

Anyone who does not really care about excelling academically or personally should not attend this school. Anyone who is looking for strictly the college party life and not a healthy balance of studies and personal life should also not attend this school.

The kind of person that shouldn't attend this school is someone who does not like to see a good future in their hands. This college is very goal oriented and focuses on what needs to be done. Not only does it focus on the goals of students but it also makes sure that the students are having a good time while on the campus. The professors also makes sure that the student is getting the best education that they can recieve.

Our school is very open and welcoming to anyone. We go to great lengths ensuring our student are happy be they ethnically diverse or different in their learning capabilities. We work hard on tearing down any false notions and face discrimination head on in our early required courses; confronting religion, politics, culture and more making sure every student speaks up. We tear down shyness. We have cultural and educational clubs that are open to anyone, we do our best to make everyone welcome and examine what is really important to lead a successful life.

Someone who is used to everything coming easy to them, and someone who isn't willing to put in the time and effort these classes take. Because of the workload and expectations from the teachers, students can't afford to slack off in courses. Also, UNR isn't really a commuter school. It's more of a school for young adults to get involved and make a difference. Therefore, someone who is just going through the motions might think of UNR as too challenging for them.

High acheivers, people who don't like desert or mountains, and people who prefer living in either a very large, or a very small city.

The type of persoon who shouldn't attend this school is someone who isn't prepared to focus entirely on school.

A person who is only going to college for their parents or spouse and not interested in their education themselves. They would not be motivated at this school and would make learning difficult for those that want to succeed in their college career.

don't come if you don't like cold weather

I would say a person that is unwilling to open their mind to ideas or that are outside of their comfort zone should not attend this school. There are many different organizations that are very prominent and visible and tolerance is a must.

Any person who is very conservative, or enjoys coastal life would not really fit in here. Reno is a pretty liberal city and is not too warm during the winter. Also, if you are looking to just coast through school without really trying Reno is not the place for you.

I think people who aren't well prepard to work hard to achieve great thing shouldn't attend this university. Although it is a very fun and welcoming place, people attending UNR work on thier own and do not depend on other people. One has to want to be involved to get the full college effect. It think that it is a very balanced environment and gives one all the tools to succeed.
