University of Nevada-Reno Top Questions

The campus at this school is wonderful. Very clean, safe and beautiful. There are tons of places to study, my favorite is the Knowledge Center-a huge library with MARS technology, hundreds of computers, quiet study areas, group study areas and individual study areas. I also spend a lot of time in the Joe Crowley Student Union, my friends and I are always in their for coffee, lunch or to visit the two story ASUN bookstore. Another cool part of campus is the quad with gives the campus an eastern feel. I love spending time on campus in any weather.

The best thing about my school, thus far, is the amount of help the councelors give you. They are very knowledgable, friendly, and patient when it comes to students asking questions and seeking information about certian degrees.

The best thing about my school would be the warm friendly atmosphere around it and the helpfulness they give to their students who need it.

In the begginning there were a lot of oppurtunities for help financially and scholarly, since the economy has crashed that has not been the case. However, at one time the willingness to help was the best.

I believe the best thing about the school is the view. It is very easy to go sit anywhere on campus and to be in a serene environment. There were plenty of relaxing places to sit and study in peace.

If you are a BAS at UNR they will bend over backwards to help you. The members of the staff are much more helpful and professional and the school is currently working to fund the sciences at all costs, despite the budget cuts.

I believe the best thing about my school is the new Knowledge Center or Library. It is simply amazing and uses the MARS system that enables students to access reading material and any reference from the library in a matter of seconds. It also accomodates students and allows them to have a place to study and is a fantastic learning environment. It has helped me properly prepare for my finals and learn material more succesfully than if I had attempted to learn it in any other environment.

The school spirit and sense of community. You really feel connected to everyone. Everyone is quite nice, and there are lots of activites to get to meet people for freshman and transfer students.

The faculty and staff are very helpful.

The University of Nevada, Reno has rigorous engineering programs. The engineering programs are 10-15 credit hours more than other degrees, as well as having no room for elective classes in the classical sense. While UNR is a fairly public university, its engineering programs are esteemed. As a chemical engineering major, I find that attending UNR to get my degree will prepare me for whatever lies ahead after I graduate. Not only are the engineering departments great, but the general math and science deptarments are also very good. But mainly I attend UNR because it is in my home town.

My fellow engineering students and the way we help each other.

Everyone forms their niche. It doesn't matter if you felt like you didn't belong in high school, you can find someplace to belong here.

The school cirriculum is execellent. The advising school of pyschology is very goo, I have never been so confident and comfortable speaking to an advisor about my education. After speaking to the pyschology advisor, I knew I was picking the right major for me.

The best thing about school are a couple of things. First the different people with different backrounds and the amount of knowledge that is offered. I've only been attending University of Nevada, Reno for a week and I've learned a great deal of information that will be essential for me in life. I've also meet some great people from across the world: Russia and even Germany. Both of them are a couple of my classes and it's wonderful to hear other opinions and people with other ideas besides the U.S.

the campus is beautiful

Tuition is relatively cheap, even for an out-of-state student like myself, and I can take 21undergrad. credits per semester. As I love taking classes (and as that is, in fact, why I'm at university), this thrills me to no end. And I can take classes that I like a lot--there are classes on so many different things!

My University is known for many things; depending on your own particular interests you might hold one contribution higher than the others. I know my school for its campus activities. We have our own theater on campus that shows a free movie every Thursday night. We have salsa dancing every Friday. There are always new art exhibits, plays and recitals on campus. We also have our sports and lots of fans that accompany it, intramural and varsity alike.

I consider the best thing at Nevada is that everyone is easy going and friendly. The Student Union is one of the nicest buildings that Nevada has to offer. Also, the over flowing amount of knowledge that is coming out of the University is incredible. Nevada may not be an Ivy League School but it is getting more and more knowledge to better the University and those that attend it. Yes, out of state would have been nice but Nevada gives me the chance to do things in Reno that I would have never known where there.

The new state of the art librairy (knowledge center). User friendly, many computers, a great place to study.

The best thing about the University of Nevada, Reno is the career oriented majors and classes offered. Because of this, students are goal oriented and tend to graduate on time with high GPA's. This also encourages students to work with each other and use outside resources.
