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.
