University of Nevada-Reno Top Questions

Colin Kapernick graduated from my school.

When I brag to my friends about my school, I share about what is discussed in class. One time, I asked my friends about this scenario. An acorn grows into an oak tree. What is the main source of the additional mass present in the oak tree? 1.) Water from the soil 2.) Minerals from the soil 3.) Carbon-dioxide in the air 4.) Light. Most people choose light to be the main source for plant growth, but it's actually the carbon from the air. I brag to my friends about what I learn.

I brag most about our journalism program since the program is in the top ten programs in the country. Another thing I brag about would have to be our football team and school spirit. We have the whole city cheering on our school year round. We also have our quarterback from 2010 playing in this years superbowl. GO KAEPERNICK!!!

The campus life, such as student activities, greek life, etc.

I really like to brag about the way the campus looks. The architecture and nature really make it stand out in the middle of downtown Reno, which makes me feel like I'm in the best place I can be, and it helps keep me driven in my studies. The teachers here also have a strong affinity for helping students achieve their academic and career goals, and it is aparent that they recognize students' successes as a reflection of their success in their work. Being that UNR is the city's closest university, there is a strong sense of pride.

WHen I tell my friends about my school I brag most about how involved the whole campus is. Many of the students who attend the university are very involved, making those around them to be as well; ultimately creating a fun enviornment to learn in.

The disability department and advisors are wonderful. They are caring, not only about you as an individual, but they care about your past, present, and future. They want you to be successful during your college experience and after. What I found most helpful is that they did their very best to accomodate your needs. The staff takes time to listen to you and any concerns you may have about something. It is because of the disability center that I have, and am succeeding in my college experience.

The small class sizes. I am often in classes of thirty students or less.

Being in a sorority, being so close to Lake Tahoe, and the great night life that Reno has.

This is Nevada's first and oldest university campus! UNR is full of rich history and is conveniently located in the City of Reno. The grounds are so beautiful and it is a pleasure to walk from class-to-class and enjoy the many manifestations of modern and classic archetecture. The faculty and staff that I have encountered have always been extremely friendly, professional, knowlegable and desirous of my success. The Matthewson-IGT Knowledge Center is always available to assist me with computing, research and study; it is a state-of-the-art Library that I absolutely love to visit!
