University of Nevada-Reno Top Questions

What's the most frustrating thing about University of Nevada-Reno?

Jenifer

Currently, the most frustrating part about my school is that my FAFSA hasn't been completely processed yet. I have had to go through the verification process which has prolonged the processing of my FAFSA as a whole. This also means I don't know what scholarships or aid the college will provide me until about a month before school begins.

Having attended UNR for my freshman year in the 2011-2012 school period, I felt that the most frustrating aspect of attending is the cost. My family is relatively well off, but with the ongoing real-estate crisis money that my parents and I have saved has been put into maintaining what we have. The FAFSA does not adequately reflect the hardships I have faced in obtaining funds for tuition.

Terina

The most frustrating thing at my school is the fact that we have a lot of classes that requires a good amount of reading. It's frustrating because for people who have more than the minimun four classes, on top of trying to work, and stay sane, it gets hard to balance everything out. Trying to constantly check on grades for each class to make sure your gpa or scholarships are not getting taken away is a struggle. A person just has to have good mangement skills so that he/she can take everything step by step and succeed.

Tyler

The one thing I found frustrating about this university was the housing program. The dorms are overpriced and very restricting. The meal plan is forced upon incoming freshmen and it is very expensive.

Henry

The most frustrating thing about my school is that theres not enough money to make everything like new.

For me the most frustrating thing about my school is coming up with the funds to pay for college. I am a full time student and I work as many hours as I can to help pay for my college education.

Brianne

It seems I've had bad luck with roommates while living on campus. My first roommate liked to stay awake all night, only falling asleep after the sun began to rise. Natrually, she kept me awake, and I would feel sluggish during my classes. Luckily, I was able to switch rooms and was assigned a new roommate. The new roommate likes to go to sleep early, but she's such a light sleeper, I keep her awake at night with my sleep talking. Now, ironically, she wants to switch rooms with someone who doesn't keep her up.

Jessica

- The most frustrating thing I found about this school was the distance from my hometown of Las Vegas. My first year of college was very tough in the fact that I was on my own for the first time. There were times I just wanted to go home and never look back but I stuck it out and I am so glad I did because these last 4 years have been some of the best years in my life.

Asia

The most frustrating thing about my school is that the online programs that allow you to choose your classes and keep up to date with your classes often do not work.

Elizabeth

Having too much fun! There is always school activities and outside fun activities here in Reno. Sometimes its hard to keep your priorities straight, but I always manage too. The fun is an obstacle to work around at times when its time to really buckle down and get school done.

Darius

That it isnt fully appreciated as it should be by America, and nevada citizens. I wish it would actually be reconized for being one of the top schools in the United States; and also that most Northern Nevada highschool students dont want to attend because of that repuation. It is truly frustrating.

Jacob

Some of the requirements for graduation don't seem very relevant to anything, mainly the diversity course. Also, financial aid seems to be drying up while the tuition rises.

Trevor

My Math Lab and MyNevada. These two programs are crucial to our academic success and yet they are the most frustrating things that we have to deal with. They are not user friendly and end up many times negatively affecting our grades due to their inadequacies.

Kelsey

Entering college I was expecting a serious learning environment with attentive students and teachers. Instead, i've come to realize that my school is a party school and it was completely different environment than I wanted in a school.

Hannah

Me. I want to complete my degree and move on to graduate school and start my own business. I can't do that until I am done. I am trying to succees academically and as a individual with personal goals, they seem to be two competing goals, but each necessary for my own personal growth. School is limiting in the amout of time it requires, yet is empowering because it allows you to think, grow and be challenged.

Chelsea

Sometimes, the class times and choice. If a student is reccommended to take a science and math class the two classes are at complete opposite times. For example, the science class would be 8-915 am, and the science would be 8-915 pm. This makes it difficult to accomodate a comfortable schedule.

Adam

The most frustrating thing about my school would have to be the weather. It gets very cold somtimes and that will be a problem when I have to walk to all my classes across the campus.

Haley

The most frustrating thing is its location. Reno is not the best place to be but the school is still very nice.

Megan

Not knowing if I will have enough money to complete my Masters Degree since I am not considered a resident making my tuition costs outragious.

Christina

The distribution of Financial Aid is the most frustrating thing about my school. It is done far too close to the start of classes and does not give students enough time to properly purchase books or materials for classes without being in the middle of a big rush of the students of a 16,000+ student campus.
