University of Nevada-Las Vegas Top Questions

I wish I had known that being in a fraternity was more than just a party life style. Many people tend to stereotype students who join a fraternity but they do more then get into mischief all day. They actually help you with school, encourage you to prosper, and believe in you. Moving to a new state was difficult for me due to the change of population and culture, so rushing a fraternity aided in my change of lifestyle. I believe it's nice to know that there are people you can relate to and call your brothers.

I wish i would have known how difficult attending a unuversity can be. You definitely need to have good study habits to do good. Otherwise it will be difficult for anyone to be prepared for tests who dont know or have good study habits.

The answers to every test I've taken up until this point! ... Just kidding! The only thing I really wish I had known is how much you get back from the work you put into learning. Leaving high school, I was entirely disallusioned with the educational system in las vegas. The teachers were terrible and the classes were nothing but busy work. I coasted through most of highschool and had completely forgot the importance of actual learning. Needless to say, this was a terrible mindset to bring along to college.

I wish I would have had more information about what offices I needed to contact for the task I was trying to complete. For example: I would call registrar for some help on a schedule issue and I would get bounced around to the department in which I was trying to get into, and then the department would transfer me back to the registrar. It seems as if not everyone is on the same page sometimes. Have patients and you will eventually figure out who you really need to talk to.

i wish i knew that there were advisors and how helpful they were

Student life is lacking.

I wish I had known that it was not a traditional university. At the time, that is what I was really looking for. I wanted the old age university with a century of comroderie. My school was more modern and in the developmental stages of traditions. I was great that I had a part in that, but I really wanted the traditional school experience. I also wish that I had known that it was not considered to be a preferred school for and engineering degree.

I wish I would have known that you really can not put studying off to the end like you typically could in high school.

I wish i had known what career path i wanted to take, or even the right way i should take classes or sign up to them.

Before I came to this school, I wish that I would have known how much of a challenge it was going to be to fit in since I am from a different area and I know no body that went to this school. Also, I wish that I would have known that I would have to struggle in my classes because of how the teachers taught. Had I known these things, I wouldn't have attended this school to begin with.
