University of Nevada-Las Vegas Top Questions

I wished they had more information about some of the courses that they are offering.

I wish that I knew how big the school really is and how many students are going in the campus because of the parking.

I wish I had known how certain people do not respond to issues in a timely matter.

I wish I knew how expensive college is before I started. I should have applied for more scholarships, it would be helping my family and I now if i did. I applied for so many, but I only recieved two scholarships. My parents are paying for my education out of their pocket and they have taken out a loan. My scholarship money is only helping a little on college costs. Before I came to this school I wish someone would have told me how expensive it is.

I really would have like to know how similar college classes are to high school classes. Much of the material that is covered in college classes are basically a repeat of what we learned in high school, just as a faster pace, and even still the pace is not as bad as people make it seem, it just takes time to get use to. If I would have known this I would have been more willing to take college classes as early as high school in order to avoid repeating things I have already learned.

I wish I knew how competitive the nursing program could be, I was not aware that the process of selecting nursing students could come down to a fraction of a point. I have come so close to being accepted for two semesters in a row, only to be told that I had to reapply. I was counting on this program to start my career however they changed the testing process halfway through my education process and made it easier for some students than others. The testing process has not been fair and that has been disappointing.

I wish I had not been so lazy when beggining college. I wish I signed up for more classes than just the minimum. I also wish that I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life so I did not waste money on classes I didn't need.

Before I came to UNLV, I wish that I knew that everyone on campus make the school much greater than what UNLV is given credit for. UNLV is a great school that has a great and helpful faculty, there are many opportunities such as clubs and orgainizations that students can join, and also that the school is very serious about helping students graduate with their degrees. UNLV is a much greater school than what others say it is to be.

I wished I had known exactly what I was getting into. When attending any university, it's best to know that studying is your best friend. Depending on the certain disipline you are majoring in, it's important to work hard and focus on your education. College is nothing like k-12 education. In college, you have to learn, not just memorize.

I wish i would have known that everything has a fee for something. In the music department you have to purchase a 50 dollor card to use the practice room, get a music locker, and get a piano pay a piano player for voice lessions. This is my first semester because I'm a transfer student, and everything else is good about my school, except for that.
