What Students Are Saying
Be ready to think as you learn; that is, don't come to UNLV expecting to have to just sit down and take notes on powerpoint presentations as the professor simply reads off each item on the list and then sends you on your way after an hour and fifteen happens to go by.
UNLV courses tend to favor critical thinking; that is, one must actually think and make connections about what's being taught. Notes are still important, but you'll be taking notes on the professors' explanations just as much as anything else. Thus, being able to type dictation is very helpful.

Adam from Las Vegas, NV
UNLV is a really good school. There are great teachers, some may be graduate students so they know what you are going through and may be even more helpful than professors. I would recommend this school to anyone.
Joan from Henderson, NV
UNLV is whatever you make it. If you want to create those fun memories that you always hear alumni talk about, you have to make it happen for yourself. Get involved, whether it be through sororities or fraternities, clubs, or performing arts or sports. If you spend it just doing your academics, (which is how I spent a good portion of my first semester) you will find that college isn't really as fun as you may have expected.
Carey from Las Vegas, NV
Don't slack off too much. I mean, it is college and with a lower quantity but higher quality of assignments its easy to forget and get wrapped up in other things besides school. The city has a lot to offer as means of entertainment and the campus has just as much to offer in helping you through your courses.
Richard from Las Vegas, NV
Make sure that you enroll on myUNLV as soon as possible. Otherwise, you'll end up on a wait list for a class which you really need. Also, make sure you take placement tests for subjects in which they are available, or else you will end up in a class that is too easy or too hard for you.
Aubrey from Henderson, NV
Come to class and get the best out of the education (you are paying for it). There are so many resources here to get hands on experience for your future and take advantage of it. Not every school has an environment like this.
Annabel from Chicago, IL
When choosing professors, go for the elder ones. I don't mean any offense or am discriminating. I just found it more challenging from professors who have more experience in their field. TA's (teaching assistants) are students getting their master's so they have their academic life to worry about as well. Also, take advantage of all the free events they hold because they almost always give out free stuff too. The campus is pretty huge so you should always have someone with you as well, especially during the night. And always get to class early if you're parking! The parking garage will always fill up within 15-20 minutes of class starting. It saved me from being late and always getting the seat I wanted in class!
Jenny from Las Vegas, NV
The biggest insight tip that I have for prospective students is to become involved on campus. That is the key to having an enjoyable college experience. As far as academics go, form study sessions and use all of the resources the Academic Success Center on campus offers. Professors are also there to help, although they may seem intimidating at times, they're probably the best resource you can have. Stay on top of your game and you'll be fine.
Monica from North Las Vegas, NV
Don't get so wrapped up on being 21 in Las Vegas. Take your time and enjoy yourself while you're still under 21. Have fun and stay out of trouble.
Louis from Chicago, IL
The thing I recommend most is being involved, but that would apply for any where you go. Take part in class and make friends. Having a friend in your class is helpful for when you miss a class or need someone to study with or get help with homework. Take part in events on campus. If you don't want to be in a club, there are always things you can attend. Also, make use of the gym! It's already paid for in your tuition. The gym practically has everything and they also offer a variety of classes to take.
