University of Nevada-Reno Top Questions

The type of person that should not attend UNR is someone who is lazy and unwilling to work. Although it's not an Ivy League school, UNR's classes are tough and really get you to think. Only serious students should come here.

I think that someone who is looking for the classic, movie scene "college experience" in which they leave their family to live on a massive campus with masses of new and diverse populations of students who are all very close knit in their own way may not find exactly what they are looking for at UNR

If you're not interested in attending a 4 year college

The type of person who should not attend this school is a person who does not like cold and unpredictable weather. Every day the weather changes and you never know if tomorrow is going to be warm and sunny or if it is going to be snowing and windy. Also, a person who is not taking their education serious should not attend this school. The university gives out a numerous amount of scholarships and having good grades can make attending the school the next year alot easier. School spirit is also important.

Despite having an energetic student body and an active social culture, UNR is certainly not for those who are just looking to 'have a good time' while they're in school. Dedication and academic performance always come first for UNR students/organizations.

I think any kind of person should attend this school. A person looking for a fun social life to go along with thier studies because the UNR campus and community is very fun and always has something going on. There is very strong sense of community at this school and there is a lot of culture and community activites in the surrounding area of Reno. UNR is also is good for someone looking for a good education.

The kind of person that should not attend the University of Nevada, Reno is someone who does not or cannot appreciate the beauty of the campus, cannot recognize the advancements of the structures, buildings, and technology over the years, and cannot take their education seriously, because the University of Nevada, Reno is a place to learn, and to grow.

Those who love living in a big and lively city should not attend UNR because the only thing flash in Reno is the downtown. The city aroun the campus does not offer much enjoyment and variety for entertainment. Reno is very local and the most exciting aspects of Reno are the casinos and shops at the downtown. Many people find Reno to boring, thus making social life a big disappointment.

The kind of person that shouldn't attend this school is the type of person who really loves the big city and isn't much of an outdoors-y type. Reno is driving distance from Lake Tahoe, which is a well known area for all kinds of outdoors activities. There is a small downtown area to Reno, but it is quaint and unlike a large city like New York or Chicago. I would also not advice this school to any one who cannot be in the cold and snow, because there is normally a lot of that!!

I think a person that should not go to the University of Nevada, Reno is someone that doesn't enjoy the outdoors or being involved in the school's activities and sporting events. If you don't like all the seasons of the year (majority of the school year is snowy and chilly) then I would consider a different school. If you aren't going to college to get a good education and be an outstanding student, all the while having fun and getting the true college experience, this college isn't for you. Otherwise anyone can come!
