University of Nevada-Reno Top Questions

It's close to home, yet there's so many better resources and educational opportunities that are available.

It is close to downtown Reno, with all of the nightlife such as clubs, casinos, and restaurants. It has a designated area where students graduate called the "Quad." There are many libraries at UNR where people can study. In addition, our library has the MARS, which stores books that haven't been checked out in over seven years in temperature controlled bins, where a robot collects a book in there and sends it down to the main library front desk. My school has more than two hundred fifty clubs and fraternities, so it makes it easy to get involved.

The University of Nevada Reno is located in one of the most beautiful places. Here in Reno, there is every different season. Not far from the campus is the amazing Lake Tahoe and amazing places to ski and snowboard. On campus is even better! The campus is big enough to make you feel like you're at a huge uinveristy but still small enough not to get lost amoung all the people. Walking to class you will see at least 10 people you know but also see many new faces.

UNR was somewhat of a college town, the perfect amount of students and others living their lives in the area. I never had an issue finding somewhere to live and it was always within ten minutes of campus without having to get on the freeway. The campus was so close to downtown that there was plenty of fun things to do at a low cost. Part of the campus was old, original buildings built with beautiful red brick and surreounded by nature. Then, there was the brand new part of campus that was also built so architectually savvy and beautiful.

What is unique about my school compared to other schools is the scale and diversity of the campus. A tier one school, the university of Nevada, Reno has a relatively small number of students when compared to other universities, and yet has such a large and expansive campus. The campus houses multiple faculties such as department buildings to help students of any major, different libraries that specialize in different areas of study, and multiple recreational buildings for students to take part in.

We have huge school spirit!

I originally was considering top-level ivy league schools, but even with some of the highest scholarships offered, I could not afford these universities. The University of Nevada is within my financial bouds and still provides a great education. I feel very welcomed here, and I feel like there is a lot of involvement on campus. There are so many clubs available, so many activities to take part in, and it's a Tier 1 University. All of these points, plus the low financial obligation makes it a great school to attend.

I personaly feel that everyone at the University of Nevada, Reno is more like a family than just a school. We all come together during so many different events that happen on campus and around town.

University of Nevada has a strong Honors Program and a small-town atmosphere.

Their program for women going into any science field is very supportive and broad. I want to go into Biochemistry research and there are many research projects and labs being worked on that an undergraduate student like me can be a part of. These experiances will prepare me for any future career.
