University of Nevada-Las Vegas Top Questions

Sociable in their clicks but slow to warm up to outsiders.

They were outgoing and ready for class discussions.

My classmates are students who are driven by their individual goals and aspire to do well academically.

I love how this campus has such diversity. Most colleges I visited, everyone seemed to be from the same town. Since the price is right, there are people from all over the country and a majority are international students from places I never would have imagined. I absolutely love it. All students are very tolerant of racial, religious and sexual diversity. I have never heard of a problem. The students' background education varies greatly too which makes for interesting discussions in the basic courses....

I love the UNLV student body. Everyone seems so friendly. Even if they don't seem friendly, if you talk to them, they are actually very nice people. So, you cannot judge a person by their looks. I think students who like to compete and are rude would not fit in at UNLV because we are very laid-back, relax and nice people. Students usually just wear t-shirts and jeans to class. Around the BEH, however, you will find more professional looking attire very commonly. It is wonderful because you can wear whatever you want and you won't feel uncomfortable either way. Our student body has a mix of financial backgrounds. However, this doesn't change anything. I feel like by the time we step in our classrooms, we check our financial background at the door. No one cares if you drive a Bentley or a run-down family van; it is all about what kind of grades you get that proves who you are.

Compared to many campuses I've visited everywhere from Portland to Corvallis, OR to Hawaii to North Carolina I haven't seen so much diversity anywhere else! I don't have a single class of just caucasian students. I literally have every race in every class. It's awesome I love it because my high school in Alaska was the most diverse in the state. The college is a commuter college and I think a lot of the students are on the Millenium scholarship or WUE so it's not expensive to go here and so it's not like only the rich kids can attend. I'm not sure about the religious or LGBT on campus but I know they have a lot of awarenesss and groups. I don't think any students would feel out of place, although there are the girls that walk around with their Louis Vuittons and hair extensions that make you feel uncomfortable. Compared to other schools, I think this one has a lot to do with image as far as girls go. There are a lot more girls that dress up probably because they still live with their parents. The dining hall is just a mix of everyone. I think the football players usually sit in one corner but the rest is just whoever happens to be there. I think most of the students from UNLV are from Vegas or somewhere in Nevada. A lot of people come from California as well. The students aren't really politically aware. Presidents are usually affiliated with a fraternity and that's where they get all the votes. I have a feeling that a lot of the students are democrats though.

Diverse.

I dont care

interacting with students on campus is easy, everyone is nice.

Students wear whatever they would like to in class. Alot of people wear flip flops.
