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.

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.

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

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.

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.

- 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.

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.

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.
