What's the most frustrating thing about University of Nevada-Reno?

Mercedes

That it was so difficult for me to get all of my transfer things straight.

Amanda

The most frustrating thing about UNR is that some of the professors are "on loan" from other universities, and they are just awful. They don't really teach the classes and don't engage with the students. This is mostly true in the liberal arts school from what I can tell. Some of these classes are a huge waste of my time and money. UNR has really stopped caring for their liberal arts and agriculture schools in order to focus on STEM research, wich affects our ability to receive quality education.

Michael

Trying to find off campus housing that I was comfortable with was probably the most frustrating thing I have found since I started attending UNR.

Kory

The most frustrating thing about my school is probably the cost of textbooks, and other "required" wesites and such, and then they are never used.

Martina

Career advisement is poor and or lacking.

Richard

Driving is difficult during the winter due to the ice.

Gary

Our financial aid system is by far the most frustrating thing about our school. Especially because my whole being at this university depends upon my financial aid. It could definitely run smoother by being easier accessible and faster.

Gabrielle

There isn't any major frustration that comes to mind concerning my school; however, there are a few small frustrations that I sometimes encounter. The number of female engineers, predominantly chemical engineers like myself, is extremely low. Being one of three girls in most of my classes is often difficult, and there are few faculty members in my department that are female that I could seek guidance from. Parking on campus is also either exceptionally hard to find or exceptionally expensive. This occasionally deters students from staying or lingering on campus.

Kirby

The most frustrating thing about my school is that is can be hard to make tutoring appointments for harder classes. For example, last semester it was hard to make tutoring appointments for Chemistry since it was in high demand. However, for easier classes, it was not too difficult to recieve one-on-one help.

The University of Nevada, Reno offers the scenic beauty, water sports, skiing, snowboarding, and hiking offered by the Sierras and Lake Tahoe. However, the nearest city outside of Reno is San Francisco, a three hour drive. While students often take trips to San Francisco, Las Vegas, and even Seattle, it isn't a particularly simple matter.
