University of Nevada-Reno Top Questions

Frustration may come from less reliable internet connection at times, having to make appointments on advising (if you don't they freeze your accounts until you do get advising), classes filling up extremely fast, and mostly the fact that there are people and places to help you but most people don't know about them.

For me the most frustrating thing about my school is the expenses as I come from a poor family who is unwilling to help me pay for college. However, it has been a pleasure working with the counselors and financial advisors on my options.

The buses do not go to the most efficient parts of campus. They are reliable, but a bike was very useful.

The most frustrating part about my University is the size of the campus. The campus is designed to have most classes close together, however it can be difficult to remember all the different locations. The worst part pof this is if there are many classes close together within a schedule. Yet it works out. This campus keeps you on your feet, keeping you aware of how life keepings moving. UNR will keep all its students on their feet, moving forward to their biggest dreams.

The inability to get into classes when needed and lack of faculty. Only one horribly rated professor offered for one course at one time on one day. Social life largely for those who greek life and partiers. Not my cup of tea.

UNR is an excellent school to attend, especially if you are a Nevada native. There are few, if at all any, factors that may discourage a student from attending UNR for their baccalaureate degree. One factor is the lack of knowledge that the academic advisors have. I have heard many times that they recommended unnecessary classes.

The most frustrating thing for me are essay papers. I am the kind of person who have a hard time writing long essay papers. They take me longer than usual but I end up doing it with a good grade!

Signing up for classes as a freshman is very frusterating because you are the last group to be able to sign up for classes. Being the last group is hard because often a lot of classes you want to take are full because everyone is trying to take them, or they are at very inconvient times.

The most frustrating thing in my opinion is that the parking permits are so exsensive. It costs about $400 a year to park in the good spots, which is kind of outrageous, seeing that you already have to pay so much just to attend the school.

I am beginning the school year in August, so there are probably many frustrating things to come. Yet far, the most frustrating thing about my school are the battles that I have had to fight to get into school and to get financial aid. Therefore, the most frustrating thing is most likely remembering to breath and not give up.

That it was so difficult for me to get all of my transfer things straight.

The most frustrating thing about UNR is that some of the professors are "on loan" from other universities, and they are just awful. They don't really teach the classes and don't engage with the students. This is mostly true in the liberal arts school from what I can tell. Some of these classes are a huge waste of my time and money. UNR has really stopped caring for their liberal arts and agriculture schools in order to focus on STEM research, wich affects our ability to receive quality education.

Trying to find off campus housing that I was comfortable with was probably the most frustrating thing I have found since I started attending UNR.

The most frustrating thing about my school is probably the cost of textbooks, and other "required" wesites and such, and then they are never used.

Career advisement is poor and or lacking.

Driving is difficult during the winter due to the ice.

Our financial aid system is by far the most frustrating thing about our school. Especially because my whole being at this university depends upon my financial aid. It could definitely run smoother by being easier accessible and faster.

There isn't any major frustration that comes to mind concerning my school; however, there are a few small frustrations that I sometimes encounter. The number of female engineers, predominantly chemical engineers like myself, is extremely low. Being one of three girls in most of my classes is often difficult, and there are few faculty members in my department that are female that I could seek guidance from. Parking on campus is also either exceptionally hard to find or exceptionally expensive. This occasionally deters students from staying or lingering on campus.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that is can be hard to make tutoring appointments for harder classes. For example, last semester it was hard to make tutoring appointments for Chemistry since it was in high demand. However, for easier classes, it was not too difficult to recieve one-on-one help.

The University of Nevada, Reno offers the scenic beauty, water sports, skiing, snowboarding, and hiking offered by the Sierras and Lake Tahoe. However, the nearest city outside of Reno is San Francisco, a three hour drive. While students often take trips to San Francisco, Las Vegas, and even Seattle, it isn't a particularly simple matter.
