Most Helpful Review for University of Nevada-Reno

  • Review by: Jessica from Reno, NV
  • 35 out of 36 people found this review helpful

My college experience thus far has taught me to work hard, how to prioritize my time better, and how to enjoy a full college experience. Classes here are lots of work, in order to succeed I had to learn great study habits, become friends with my professors, and know that there is always help somewhere in the university. I never once felt overwhelmed or overworked and I soon realized that the University of Nevada, Reno has helped me learn not only inside the classrooms, but outside of them as well.

    UNR is a diverse campus with lots of areas to study in. The campus had ample places to study and most professors are willing to help students out of class.

    A great education at an affordable price. Amazing location with access to beautiful mountains, an amazing lake and killer skiing. Small classes and hands on instruction.

    The University of Nevada, Reno is a great school to better one's education, make long lasting friendships, and to get involved it many ways. Living in the resident halls has allowed me to become more social and learn more about myself. I would choose this school over and over again because it has helped to improve my life in so many ways.

    Overall, this is a great university that offers an amazing affordable education. This school isn't as expensive as others, but the education that you get here is valuable. The campus is beautiful and Reno has great four-season weather.

    UNr has a great engineering program but DR.Wang is a hard man to approach and can often be demeaning. UNR has an amazing campus and I miss it everyday but the clubs and organizations there are weak and need help, the winter sports club does not plan any skiing trips. The Nevada RA's are incredibly mean and tend to target kids that they think are causing problems, I had my room searched three times for no reason, the RA would just come to the door with cops and search my room because he thought our room smelt like weed, I DON'T SMOKE.

    The campus is so beautiful! It can get very warm in the summer so if your dorm doesn't have air conditioner, bring a fan!

    When applying for colleges, The University of Nevada Reno was not one of my top choices. But when I came to take a tour of campus I completely fell in love with the school and it's programs. This university is the absolute best.

    University of Nevada Reno is one of the best under rated public universities that you can attend. From its top notch education department, out of the park Journalism school, to the LEED certified buildings to help maintain the world we live in and enjoy.

    UNR is an awesome college. UNR gives you the best college experience. There is nothing like being apart of the Wolf Pack and knowing you are right where you belong.

    The university of Nevada, Reno, is a beautiful campus that offers great programs in nursing, engineering and business. I do not recommend the school if you are straying from those areas of study.
