| - People have always asked me why UNLV? Is it because a lot of Hawaii kids go to this school.
NO. I decided to go to this school because of the WUE scholarship. I paid as much as if I went to a school in Hawaii. In fact, I tried to run away from the Hawaiians. Haha.
Social: It's up to you (student) to make the best out of your experience at UNLV. You can be one of those who just goes to class, someone who gets involved in school or just not go to class at all. What I enjoyed was getting involed. Yes, I was in a fraternity. A business one, though. I always looked forward to those 15 minute breaks between classes and you get to see people you know.
Academinc: Professors in the 100-200 classes are generally not caring about their students. Once you get into your junior/senior year, the professors are the ones who will care about their students. I'm a marketing major, (or was, LOL I don't know how to word that). All of my marketing professors cared about their students and how could they emphasize our learning. I've kept in touch with them and I feel so much smarter knowing what Qualitative Marketing Research is, haha.
PROS:
Student Union - best meet up place with friends. They have various fast food restaurants in there. I can't believe I ate Panda Express almost every day. Gross.
Lied Library (Club Lied) - this library is seriously like a club. Every hangs out here, bring you food and just rage. Plus finals week, they close at 2 am. Just like a nighclub.
Academic - I definitely lucked out in getting all my required courses done before they started doing the budget cuts. I was able to take all the marketing professors that specialized in certain subjects (Sports Marketing, Retail Marketing, etc) before they got cut/fired. IF UNLV decides to hire them back again, it's a great learning experience...but don't ask me anything about Sports Marketing cause I don't do sports. haha.
CONS:
Parking - when I started back in '07, OMG, parking was a biznatch. Since then, they have built the Tropicana Garage and that eased up the parking a little bit. Passes still costs an arm, a leg and a torso.
Pricing/Tuition - Expensive if you paid out of state with no scholarship! Even if you're in state! I was under out of state tuition but I still paid low enough because of my scholarship.
Neighborhood - Ok, it's not a college town. Inside UNLV: amazing, outside UNLV: scary. You're on the east side. I remember seeing a cop arrest people on the street a couple times in a month.
**If you decide to go to this school, do your research first. Is this right for you? Lifestyle? Academic?
