University of Nevada-Reno Top Questions

The kind of person who confines themselves to one way of living and cannot tolerate those who differ from them would not like the diversity present.

Honestly, this school is pretty much perfect for any kind of person. This school is very diverse, you will definately be able to find a group of people that you can relate with. The only downside is that in the winter it can get cold, so if you don't like the cold, then the area probably isn't for you. Other than that, there are plenty of things to do here so its a great school for pretty much any kind of person.

I would say anyone who doesnt like going to school with a lot of people. The class sizes can be really large.

I believe that anyone who genuinely wants to attend college and to pursue a degree could attend UNR. You shouldn't attend any college, and especially one as committed to education as UNR, if you are only interested in partying and having the "college experience." Going to college is a serious committment, and you need to treat it as such. Those who are unmotivated and uniterested should not attend; there are those that desire nothing more than to be in college, and their experience and learning is diminished by people who don't want to be there.

Any person who can not find the determination to finish what they have started. Attending this school, or any school for that matter, will be a likely waste of time and money.

Although UNR offers many programs and opportunities to fit any type of student, I would say a student who isn't passionate about their major and committed to their academics, should apply elsewhere. The professors really challenge each student and expect a lot from them. They have a passion for teaching and expect the students to have that same passion for what they are learning. I am encouraged by their enthusiasm to teach and it makes me want to work harder, a quality that all UNR students should have.

I would not dream of offering subjective restrictions on a potential student. Any student who feels so inclined should consider this school.

For as costly as this school is and the large amount of students that attend this school, I would advise someone who isn't going to take their education seriously to attend another school. If a person is going to attend this school and all they do is simply party and blow off classes, they are stealing another student's chance to attend this school that wants genuinely wants to obtain an education and would actually take their schooling seriously. Also, with all the money being wasted, that person might as well throw their money in the gutter.

I think anyone has the right to attend this ( or any other) school . However whether they attend or not, it is a personal choice

Someone who should not attend this school would be the type of person who loves the sun and warm weather. Reno is very warm during the summer and the first month of the school year, but during the rest of the school year, the weather gets really cold, windy, cloudy and unpredictable. Also, someone who does not like snow should definitely not attend this school. I have personally realized that weather can affect one's mood, so the type of person who is not too fond of dark, cloudy weather should not attend this school.
