University of Nevada-Reno Top Questions

I think the worst thing about this school is how much the students focus on partying rather than studying and doing well in school. I understand that it's college and people go crazy but I am a Christian and it's hard for me to connect with the majority of the students here because all they want to do is party and I would rather go to a movie or hang out. It's the thing I don't like the most because it is hard for me to make friends and have that goood college experience.

I don’t think there is a “worst” thing about my school but if I have to pick something it would be that they don’t offer enough summer classes. That being said, they do offer a fair amount but I’m running out of classes to take that I actually need to graduate. The ones they do offer I have already taken or won’t be able to enroll in because I’m junior status and not senior. I know teachers need a summer too but I want to learn!

It's a big school. It's tough learning where everything is and who to seek help from in terms of advisers. But everyone is very helpful and friendly enough to point individuals in the right direction to obtain the aid they need.

The class sizes- they are very large, I put the effort in to get to know the professors but it can be hard to learn in class sometimes.

The worst thing would have to be the campus itself. It is very spread out and involves a lot of walking.

In my school, there are many people to contact, each of them is for different administrations. Just like any other school, they try to help out all of the students as much as they can, but with so many of us, its hard to help us all. So it is up to us to help ourselves, just like its a huge buffet of all these different options. With enough research and evaluation, you can find the right people to talk to and the right questions to ask them, a lot is acomplished within a few scheduled meetings. It works out.

In short, The University of Nevada, Reno can be considered a party school, to worsen the situation the surrounding area can very easily be consider far worse. Distraction from the pursuit of higher learning

Some professors/employers have no loyalty to their staff and students; and employ individuals who have a history of sexual harrassament at facilities, putting staff at risk.

The worst thing about my school would probably be the fact that most students think that they have to drink in order to have a good time. Certain people don't think others are cool unless they drink. Football games are often viewed by people who drink alcohol.In recent years a few changes have been made, such as a hotline that people can call to report rowdy behavior due to alcohol at footbal games. There is an alcohol counseling center at UNR, but very few people use it because they don't think they have a drinking problem.

The worst thing about UNR was the dead of winter when it snowed. The snow was beautiful but walking through a hilly campus with snow and ice was terrifying!
