    Overall, UNLV gives you a lot of benefits for the cost. It's not as cheap as some other schools out there, but sometimes one gets what one pays for.

    Unfortunately, with the recent budget cuts prices have risen, and it can certainly be felt as each dollar you pay gets you less distance in your strides towards paying tuition. Even with the increases though, I found the tuition cost to be manageable.

    Textbooks are a bit of a different story. The UNLV bookstore charges quite a lot, so it would probably be a good idea to buy your textbooks at a different store online. Unfortunately, however, many UNLV courses use custom editions of certain books with content additions and removals, which can be hard to find. Therefore in those cases you need to either get lucky on eBay or, sadly, pay full price at the bookstore. read full review
