The best thing about UNLV I guess are the variety of people and the campus. Another thing, this city continues to grow so there are many opportunities for college students whether they're in school or just graduating. This can also benefit many who are concerned about internships, Las Vegas is the place, and UNLV is a good university to help. School pride, there is a lot. Especially after having a basketball team that in the past has made it to the "Sweet 16" in the Mountain West Conference for the NCAA. This year the team didn't make it that far, but UNLV students, staff, faculty were hyped about having a team go so far. A frequent student complaint is that the administration doesn't move in a fast pace. A lot of things that are requested, like transcripts or financial aid conflicts are not handled quickly, you have to wait forever if something you have to do something involving any kind of office. It's hard to get in contact with people. If you want something done, you have to go wherever you need to go yourself. The phone, you can use to handle situations, but you'd have to call a lot... They do get things done, it just takes awhile.

The best thing about UNLV is that your high school friends go there. The one thing I would change is that the school needs more people to get involved. The school is HUGE!! I spend most of my time in Student Union. Some of the administatration is great while the other is terrible. There is not a lot of school pride.

I spend most of my time either at the student union or the library. Personally, i don't think that the food should be so expensive and crappy, but then again it is better to have it then not at all.I

The best thing about UNLV: you can basically wear flip-flops all year long. I wouldn't change a thing about UNLV. UNLV's administration rocks. UNLV's President Ashley even held the door open for me one time.

The great thing about UNLV is that many of the students know what it means to work half or full-time. The UNLV Men's basketball team also brings tons of energy and spirit on campus. I would change the publicity policy on campus. It's so hard to advertise events on campus. The school's size is just right, but it's not a college-town campus. People don't give me an exciting feedback when I tell them I go to UNLV. It's as if it's below me. I spend most of my time inside the Student Union, especially since it is where I also work. I would like the UNLV administration to focus on what the students want more. The recent controversy is probably the tuition increase. The school pride here is very low. You see a lot of students wearing clothes of other universities. Nonetheless, there's a great amount of spirit in the athletic games (esp. Men's Runnin Rebels Basketball. More than 90{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of UNLV students don't live on campus, so it's hard to build a college community. Parking and traffic around school is a regular complaint among students. For student organizations, the monopoly of Sodexho and scheduling makes it extremely difficult to put on events or to even publicize. Food is also a monopoly and the food we are allowed to order are so overprized.

If the school were any bigger, i would hate it. I wish there was a better way to make it through the parking lot instead of around the thomas and Mac center. I spend most of my time in class. There could always be more school pride. people dont get riled up.

The parking at UNLV is terrible. They charge us too much for parking permits, yet they do not provide enough parking spaces that are accessible.

Torry

The best thing is probably basketball. People think I settled for UNLV I spend most of my time at the Student Union or the Library The administration is good at covering loose ends I was accused of cheating at the Department of Communications The pride at school seems dwindling but then again Im comparing it to the pride of an Edmonton Oilers fan in Edmonton. Thats real pride.

Amanda

The best thing about UNLV is the atmosphere, there are so many different people, its really cool. I would change some of the buildings. I believe that the school is just right. Some people react differently when I tell them that I go to UNLV, Some people don't react nicely as if I were to tell them if I went to Yale. I spend most of my time in the student union with my friends. I don't think there is alot of school pride.
