I would like to go there, but I haven't found much about opinions on it. Good school, bad school? If you are/were a student, that would be amazing! (But if you aren't, I'd still like to hear from you!)

actually to determine good/bad school is hard. it depends on us if we get a high marks and good result it means that school is good but fr those who failed=bad school. but my cousin went there to study and now as i know he really have a good job- my opinion it's really gud school

Depends on what you plan to have as a major. UNLV is not a top tier school, but a good school. Not only the education, but the area you will live in.

Here is the lowdown on UNLV from a former student. If you plan to major in hotel administration, hospitality management, management, marketing, business, international business, finance, economics, math, accounting, business computer systems management, gaming, travel and tourism- this is the school for you!! If you are planning to major in social work, psychology, counseling, biology, chemistry, physics, pre-law, pre-med- you would be best served elsewhere because you will be taught by all graduate students and will not have any opportunity to get hands on training- e.g. research assistant, lab assistant, internships, etc. If you are planning to major in nutrition sciences this is a good school though because it prepares you for graduate level training and to become a registered dietitian.

I've lived in Las Vegas, and have gone to UNLV for 4 years. What Dorethy said above is true about the majors, so I'll give a little different type of information. Good or bad, UNLV is a school that doesn't get a lot of funding. In fact, right now, we're fighting a proposed 8% decrease in funding.... that means less scholarships, less teachers, less classes, less class sections... it hurts on ALL fronts. Construction here is a major problem. In Vegas, we do as "Las Vegans" do.... tear down and re-build. Projects are abundant on campus, and that's not changing any time soon. In the last 4 years I've been on campus, I've seen (MSU, WRIGHT, Desert, Rec Center, Urban, Parking, SciTech) 7 construction projects, those NOT including the road construction around campus. Traveling to school is a nightmare, and most of the students are commuters (living off campus) Also, Parking in a horrible issue that has not been resolved in over 5 years. There aren't enough spaces for students, and the construction of new buildings on parking lots doesn't help. On another note, people on campus are very apathetic. We have over 23,000 students, but when it came to student elections this year, only about 1000 voted at all. Partly because we feel our student government accomplishes nothing, but partly because our school doesn't a solid identity. With most people commuting to school, participation in clubs and drives is very disappointing. No one wants to stay longer at school if they have to drive back home, or to a job. So... UNLV is very much like a larger community college.. people come to classes, but don't stick around for much else. Any other info you would like to know, don't hesitate to ask. I'd be more than willing to help ya out.
