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

Make sure you take advantage of the fact that the advisers are there to help you. Just like your counciler in high school. I was a little confused in the beginning, but once i asked for help i was pointed in the right direction. Also make sure you have your priorities straight. So many students lose focus on there studies because they choose their social life over school. Your scholarships can be taken aways just as easy as they were given to you. I really want to make that clear to all the Nevada residents on the millenium scholarship. Lastly, don't be afraid to experience new things. Your in college now and on the road of your life's journey, know what you want out of it. read full review
