The school itself is very modern and as such looks very beautiful. My personal favorite area is manzanita lake. Most of the professors are very helpful and eager to help you learn. Also, there are plenty of different places to eat on campus, with a pretty good variety. Overall, I have enjoyed my experience as a student.

The campus is a wonderful place to take a Sunday morning walk especially during a pandemic. Animals and fowl were claiming the walks and the lake their own. And how in the world did the coyote know he was safe during his morning walk!

Je$u$ h christ onna stick, dem racial history o this institution is all over the place. read stated influences under one star reviews if ya have any doubts... which leads me to my point: 1 star for havin muy very little info available on Jon Bilbao Basque Library and its research options into local cultura, (that aint Anglo based). Basque energy/labor built a majority this whole f*kn bioregion after all.

Handled pandemic super poorly. Started charging more and offering less services. As a homeless student I heavily relied on these services. After finding out I was homeless, they offered free stay at the dorms. This quickly turned into taking out a loan to pay them. Not comfortable taking out the loan because I had COVID and was falling behind in my classes. Knowing this they offered me the most useless degree possible because my military benefits were running out. They went on to suggest that I use the wifi available at school to complete classes instead of helping me find housing. Should have just stuck to construction. Then I wouldnt be a homeless veteran. Thanks UNR.

This institution is disorganized. They supposed to give me back my grants from fafsa, but they rather charge me for the classes. One of the transfer specialist never answered me back by email and calls. The advisors didnt direct in a good way. I think they only care about themselves getting paid without caring for their students to succeed. The professors were helpful and caring thats the only one good thing about U.N.R.

Review №33

Not a good university to go to for engineering. Ended up transferring to a different university closer to home 3 years into my degree program because cost of living kept increasing while wages stagnated in Reno. After seeing the difference in quality of education and seeing what it looks like when a University actually invests in their engineering programs, the difference is like day and night. UNR spends too much of students tuition money on sports and not enough on academics and it is frustrating. Please dont waste your time at this school. Find some place that will give you your moneys worth.

While Im not a student of UNR, the resource called the Knowledge Center (also the library) is and excellent place to do research as well as charge any and all of the electronic devices. You can also get online if you have a working phone number and email address that you have to use to get access. The WiFi connection is very fast. My understanding about the education with UNR is that is excellent and affordable.

Nice campus, cheaper for Nevada residents which is also nice.When moving my son into his dorm we encountered an issue that I addressed in a Google review. My son informed me that shortly after leaving my review, the issue was resolved by the UNR faculty/staff.It is very important for any parent to know that their child is safe, and that they do not have any problems when they are away at a college, hours or great distances away. UNR faculty/staff showed me that if there is an issue, no matter how big or small it may seem, it will be resolved or at least addressed in a quick fashion. I find comfort in knowing UNR took the time to find my son and assist him.I have another son that attended UNR last year, and is attending again this year. The staff took the time to contact him and find out if he had any issues needing to be addressed as well. He had an amazing first year of college at this campus last year. Staff were quick to provide him answers/assistance to any questions or needs he had in the past, and their promptness this time shows things have not changed. My son spoke very highly of all his professors and all of the staff there last year.Both of my sons have expressed how nicely organized, and how well taken care of the campus is. Both have spoken of how easy it is to find their way around campus, being a first year students not familiar with the layout.I would strongly recommend this campus to any parents, or anyone looking for a college/University to attend. To anyone else, you can find peace of mind knowing your loved one attending UNR can find assistance when you may be so far away.THANK YOU TO ALL STAFF AT UNR.

Just graduated. You can nitpick anything, but I have to say my time at this University was life changing for all the right reasons. Id say you learn about 50% in class, and the other half youll learn outside of the classroom. I was very active and took advantage of everything the University of Nevada had to offer such as the large amount of film equipment and breadth of computer programs to play with. I could ramble on, but the simple answer is the school is the perfect size. Not too big, not too small, just right. The campus is beautiful and has a good amount of history to it. If you come in expecting to have the teachers prepare for everything in the real world, youre gonna have a bad time. And that happen at pretty much any school. So get out there, explore, and enjoy.Also, lots of bar crawls when youre old enough ;)

I attended class here in the evenings and during the day. I had been here when the campus was nearly empty and when it was full and bustling. It was always cozy and comfortable. Most of the professors are fabulous and truly care about the students. They recognize the symbiotic relationship between student and teacher. That makes the learning experience extraordinary! UNR established a foundation for me to move forward with confidence. Im thankful to have attended.

My son graduated from this school. I am obviously proud of his determination, and I am also grateful for the work-study arrangements, grants, and scholarships that have helped to reduce the cost of tuition. However, seeing him struggle with his professional life saddens me.The community, county, and state in which this institution is located could be more probable sources of some reasons for his problem than the university itself (aside from philosophy and biology professors as well as members of library staff who, instead of doing their jobs, have made unnecessary criticisms). But recent and current conditions make me occasionally wonder whether his postsecondary education from this place is a worthwhile investment.

Review №58

The education is adequate, but ridiculous rules are in place specifically intended to maximize revenue, placing an unfair burden on the students.1. Sons previous college missed sending the transcript in by 1 day forcing my son to miss reciprocity and was told there was no recourse---cost: an additional $17,000/ year.2. Math major requires an additional minor adding 2 years to a degree program that would have been 2 years beyond his Associates in Math.3. Credits from the University of Minnesota (Main Campus) and UC credit transfer program transferred in as elective credits instead of covering identical requirements. I cant understand how credits acceptable to UC-Berkeley are not given as much weight as an inferior class taught by a less talented professor.4. In the 4 years my son has attended, he has been assigned 4 different advisors as one after another leaves the school in search of a better place to work.5. Every SINGLE TIME I visit Reno, I meet another parent pulling their child from the school because of shenanigans the school is pulling with Financial Aid, course schedules or Major requirements.Finally, Im sorry but you cant create a valid major only offering a popular class (one that fulfills multiple Major requirements or is required in order to take another class) one ONCE EVERY 2 YEARS. That means if you miss getting in due to full enrollment once, it throws your entire major or minor off by 2 WHOLE YEARS.My suggestion to anyone looking here, look at the news surrounding the travesty of Nevadas higher education system that believes it is not only above the law, but capable of making its own laws without Congressional oversight. Avoid this college like the plague. I really wish it had come up in my Google searches 4 years ago when my son chose this school.Post Script. Just take a look at the grammar and content of the alumni in their reviews. Is this really where you want your children going to school?

This school, which is not one of them but the best school in US, is full of bureaucracy and discrimination is every where. The senior faculty will depress young working staff; the title IX is a joke. No body cares about your career. Students are all arrogant and try to exploit each other. No matter it is working or studying, it is definitely one of the worst place.

I am a transfer student and am having a difficult time getting settled. I talked to many KIDS who run the Admissions and Records department. One of the girls there was just down right extremely rude. Its like they dont want me to take classes there. They got annoyed everytime I called and asked a question. Financial Aid was okay butnone of their documents open online. I left messages upon messages as well as emails to the advising department for Health Sciences to fix my issue with a hold I had. It took them a couple of days to fix it, which I understand because it was the beginning of the semester, but then never called me to tell me that it is fixed or tell me what I should do or anything.Other then that the Social Work department was very patient with me in explaining what all I need to do to take the next step in my education. They were very helpful and is an amazing program. I havent started classes yet so hopefully the next three semesters will smooth out for me and I learn more of ropes there..... class of 2020 here I come!!!

The school has been known for being a Nazi sympathizing institution for employing & enrolling Peter Cvjetanovic. After calling their office to see what resources would be given to students of color, they referred me to simply review the Presidents statement. This provides no sense of reassurance or the will to progress after making a disgusting mistake.

All UNR cares about is profit they will make money from you directly or indirectly. Their parking is ridiculous I’ve never seen anything more monopolized than their parking system $500 a semester for parking in the garage!! When it comes to parking tickets they’re on it! Might as well pay the people who give you the ticket since that probably covers their labor cost lol. For being such a beautiful school I just hate this the most. I mean can’t do anything about it it’s a business after all. 😏

I couldnt have asked for a better college experience. Great community for anyone who is new to town and recently campus has been looking sharp with new facilities. Ive always felt relatively safe around campus and town, except for 4th street.Academically speaking its a great school for the price (compared to California schools). The Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy emphasis is sub-par. They should really reevaluate the program, since there is so much potential but not the best direction. The general EE degree is great, though. I would do it all over again here.

I graduated in 2012 after transferring from TMCC. It was a pleasant experience, and the professors were knowledgeable. But being a non traditional student (in my 30s and working all day) I could never get into any of the classes that I really wanted to take and had to settle for what was available at night. This was especially evident in the CS department, which has great instructors... they just need to offer more courses in the evenings. Even at the Masters level... I did not complete my Masters because the courses are not available if you work during the day. I found myself working on a Masters degree that I wasnt even interested in just because of the schedule, and then lost interest. Think outside of the box UNR!

Review №88

This university is big enough to provide a tier 1 education yet professors still find time for students. I spent my junior and senior years here and most of my professors still can find time to give me some advice while I prepare for graduate school.Some people and the media have pointed out that Mr. Peter Cvjetanovic is a student at UNR, he does receive some protection under the first amendment which is why he was not expelled. But also remember that Colin Kapernick was a quarterback for the UNR Wolf Pack before he graduated and went pro.I feel that Mr. Kapernick has made a much greater impact than Cvjetanovic. On the nation and in history. By exercising his first amendment rights which are also protected. Sometimes we have to tolerate seeing and hearing things we dont want to protect our own rights. That is something I learned at UNR.

Im shocked at the things I have learned about this University! They condone hate speech and white supremacy! One of the KKK/White Supremacists that participated in the rally in Charlottesville attends this school and also works there! His name is PETER CVJETANOVIC. The President of this school accepts and condones this behavior and seems proud of it. I have spoken to several alumni and they seem to say the same things. They were intimidated by white supremacists, and hate speech ran rampant in their classrooms.THIS NEEDS TO STOP AND SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED! What is happening to our society?

The worst school ever..as well as the city..Dont be deceived by their advertisements like the cheapest school, close to San Fransisco or Lake Tahoe! The city su..s. They get a lot of money naming them as fees for different, not important stuffs..even as a graduate student with graduate assistantship you pay a lot of money out of your own pocket. In addition, they are struggling to have some international students to improve their rankings, and once they get them they will look at them as slaves..Having them work for 24/7..Be careful!

Review №94

This is by far the WORST University to go to. The Finacial aid, cashiers office, and admissions is all run by students who have absolutely no idea what theyre doing. The teachers assume youve been a UNR student all your life and just go right into it without explaining much of anything. The mathematics department is a joke. Teachers and TAs teach different from the other so you are basically left confused and told by admissions to just go to our tutoring center and the tutors also teach different. Dont expect to pass your math class, especially if thats your weakest subject. Also your financial aid is never done on time and good luck getting thru to the Finacial aide department on the phone or email. Talked to 6 different people all told me different things to do, I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. And not one single person I talked to told me I need 15 credits to get a certain grant. I asked several times why I havent gotten my grant yet and they all said grants and loans were already dispersed, please allow 5-10 business days for funds to arrive. If I could give only one piece of advice to up and coming students, Id tell them to go somewhere else for school.

The Veteran Service Office here treats veterans terribly. The certifying official(Terina Caserto) for UNR is extremely condescending, sarcastic, and apathetic to the needs of veterans. If you are a veteran like I am, find another school in NV like UNLV that cares about its vets.
