    When entering UNR, never feel the need to become overwhelmed or overworked. There is help everywhere for every question you might have. If a class becomes too difficult, talk to your professor, they are there to help you, so do not feel like you have to endure it, the professors enjoy to help the students. Tutoring or any extra curricular activity can be found very easily all you need is to ask around. Besides that, have an open mind to college, it should be more than just hard work, but you should also enjoy every minute of it! read full review

    The University of Nevada, Reno is definitely one of the biggest bargains out there when it comes to higher education. For out-of-state students, yearly expenses at UNR amount to less than half that of most private universities. Those coming from nearby states can also take advantage of the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program or the Good Neighbor Program. Although tuition has recently increased due to the state budget crisis, tuition remains low for Nevada residents. For those meeting the state academic requirements, the Millennium Scholarship offers further tuition discounts. Additionally, the university offers multiple academic merit scholarships, including extremely generous scholarships for National Merit Scholars.

    Despite being a public school with relatively low tuition, the university offers high quality academic programs to its students. There are about 150 different programs to choose from, so the options are virtually limitless and many students pursue double majors. Some of the degree programs are even nationally recognized. For instance, UNR offers a chemistry degree certified by the American Chemical Society. The academic facilities are also of high caliber. Last fall, the university opened a beautiful new student union and library. In addition, a new math and science center is scheduled to open next spring. The new library, also known as the Knowledge Center, has an enormous computer lab called @One. This computer lab, which has an uncanny resemblance to the Star Wars Cantina, is open late and has an abundance of computers, so having your own is not necessary. It’s a great place to study.
