The financial aid office is a disaster. Always the run around and no one knows the answers. Doesn't make you feel too confident when the officials are unsure. Super hard to go to school because of the lack of support and communication. I've often felt like I'm fighting to go to school, and this isn't a third world country. Like many, I'm taking out loan after loan which means that I'm paying them a lot of money to attend, so why aren't they making it easier for me as far as paper-work and communication?
The professors are 100% hit or miss. I've had INCREDIBLE professors or terribly bad shouldn't be doing this for a job professors. No in-between.
Good luck. Consider UNLV. It's closer to civilization anyway. Nevada State is literally an exit before Boulder City.
