University of Nevada-Reno Top Questions

The worst possible thing that I can think of regarding my school is that the cafeteria is not my favorite place to eat on campus. Besides that I have no complaints about the University of Nevada-Reno.

The worst thing about my school is the parking. There does not seem like there is enough parking for all of the students, and the layout is very inconvient for students.

This isn't a knock on the school, but I don't really care for the surrounding city of Reno. I really enjoy the campus though.

The worst thing about this school honestly is parking. Passes are ridiculously expensive and are still inconvenient for what you pay.

The only thing I have encountered that has been unpleasant at the school are some of the older teachers. They aren't nice when you try to talk about cetain things to them and they don't give you second chances even if there is a legitament reason for doing something; lets say if you miss class but you have a note or it was a family emergency they dont care.

A lot of our budget is being cut so we're losing big departments and major student-academic-oriented centers. With the budget being cut, our tuition is increasing. As a community, we're losing a lot of the necessary parts of a university, like tutoring centers. I think that if we had more of a budget, or if less was being cut, we would be a better university. Also because our budget is being cut and our tuition is being raised, we've lost a good sense of community.

The area surrounding the campus. It's not completely safe, in fact it's actually in one of the worse parts of Reno, despite the actualy university being quite nice.

The worst thing for UNR is their online support both for signing up for classes as well as for the online campus. If you are in a situation like I was this past winter where you are out of town and trying to sign up for classes but there is a problem with your username/password it is very hard to get help. It took weeks of constant attempts in order to get someone that could actually assist me in aloowing me access to class regstration. By the time I finally got access, many of the classes were already full.

I suppose the worst about my school is the administration part of applying for classes and financial aid and scholarships. It feels like a maze of paperwork and phone calls to do the simplest things, and it is very frustrating. Every semester I go through this big confusing mess just to register and pay for classes. You would think that a University that has been around doing the same thing for over 100 years would have it figured out by now without being complicated. I wouldn’t trade my schooling for anything, and the good far exceeds the bad.

The worst thing about Nevada is that Reno is not a very "college" town. Most stores and restaraunts are not easily walkable from campus. Alot of students find they have to have a car or take taxis to get from one side of town to the other.
