| UNLV- University Of Nevada, Las Vegas? I go to a private school right now. I am a freshman and i want to start looking at college's. The university of Nevada, Las Vegas came to my attention. Do they have good acedemics? I want to study law. Also i want to play soccer in college i made my varsity team this year as a freshman and its a very skilled team and im on a very skilled club team. Also i go to nationals for futsal. So that leads to my other question, how good is there soccer? Division? If this all is good do you know if they have any soccer camps over the summer so i have a chance to meet the coach? Whats the students average highschool gpa??? Cheers! Tanner J. Las Vegas - 1 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 : Sorry but UNLV is NOT known for soccer or football or other sports. It was known for basketball many years ago when Jerry Tarkanian was coach. As far as the academics, they are average. UNLV is best known for the Hotel Administration because of the tourist industry |

Pharmacy Major... in Las Vegas or anywhere in Nevada?
| Pharmacy Major... in Las Vegas or anywhere in Nevada? I'm going to be a senior this coming fall in high school in Las Vegas, NV. Can anyone please help me with the information on universities and their courses to be a pharmacists? What courses should be taken? Which college/University? What is my best offer? Higher Education (University +) - 1 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 : I believe the University of Southern Nevada is your only choice for a PharmD program. Here's their website: http://www.usn.edu/pharmacy/ You'll need to take all the Science and Math (calculus) classes your high school offers, and do well in them (at least an A), plus an over average of 90% or better will get your foot in the door. If you take a look at USN's pre-requisite, they require college credits to be done first before you apply to the program. Just make sure you do well in the pre-req courses, score well on the PCAT and you should be good. All the best!! |

Not in Vegas, baby! Probably can if you live on a farm where there's not bus service. But you have school buses here so the answer is NO
3 :
Special circumstances probably mean something like you being the only person in your household that can drive - like if a parent became unable to drive due to illness and needed your assistance to get to doctors appointments or the hospital. Or if you worked on a farm as the family business, you might get special permission. Just because your parents go to work early probably won't qualify - since you can always just take a bus, bicycle or walk. Although inconvenient, it isn't an emergency situation, so special circumstances won't apply to you.

Moving to Las Vegas Nevada and need some questions about the city answered.?
Moving to Las Vegas Nevada and need some questions about the city answered.?
Moving with 2 other of my friends to Las Vegas in August, we are all 22 and was wondering where the best places to live would be close to the strip (within 2 miles). Obviously Vegas is not a place to go to start a family and we have no plans on doing so in the near future, we will probably finish school out there eventually but can't transfer there for a year after we move there because of out of state tuition being so high. I know its hard to find a job anywhere in the U.S. right now but how hard is it in Las Vegas? What's the Pro's and Con's about Las Vegas (besides the obvious, crime, gambling, drug addictions)... im talking like spending money / not being able to find a job / weather. We live in Ohio right now to where the spring and summer is nice but winter sucks and Ohio is boring. Any information about apartments, jobs, weather, anything about Vegas will help. Thanks for the feedback, I live in a 4 bedroom (kinda shitty apartment) and we each pay a little over $500 a month, so over $2000 for the entire apartment, we are right on a campus though. Been looking for a job for awhile here but no one can find one so we are not knew to that. You've been in Las Vegas for a long time, has to be something good about it? But yeah we are looking to try and pay under $500 a month per person for a 3 bedroom.

The unemployment rate in Vegas is among the highest in the Nation. UNLV is a great school, but you won't find much work while you're going to school except fast food places and restaurants, if you're lucky. The weather here is pleasant in the spring, but the summers are Hot, Hot, Hot. Las Vegas is in the Desert you know. Tourism is way down and this town survives on tourists spending and losing money. I don't know what you pay for an apartment there where you live, but here you get what you pay for. Cheap rent ($350 to $500) equals run down and cheap apartment, more expensive ($550 to $950) better acomodations, more expensive yet ($1000 to $1500) best apartments in Vegas. Don't know what you're going to school for, but a lot of people go to school here to get into the hospitality industry, which survives on tourism.

I moved here from Ohio over three years ago and I agree that the weather alone made the move worth it. However the job situation is worse here. They are still laying off all over the place. When a job opens there are 100 well qualified applicants lined up. The job fairs out here are a joke, usually trade schools telling lies how their schooling provides training for waiting jobs that don't exist. The rent situation won't be a problem. You could rent a five bedroom house for that amount of money here. With all the foreclosure and shortsates, investors bought up the properties dirt cheap but are finding no quality renters to rent them so they have to drop the prices. Rule of thumb is the further from the strip the better it is. Stay outside the 215 if possible. Better read over the following web page. Good luck.
5 :
I read the answers given and I agree with most of them. The only suggestion I can give is that you don't want to be 2 miles from the strip. I understand that you want to be close to the action, but the radius all around the strip is such a bad area. If you have a car you can get from one end of Vegas to the other in 30 minutes or less. If you won't have a car we have buses that go all around town and are easy to get to the strip. It will be much cheaper rent wise to move off the strip and you will get a lot better and bigger house or apt. for your buck. A lot of restaurants are hiring servers, if any of you have any experience doing that. But yet again they are all off the strip for those jobs. The weather is nice here, compared to Ohio (I was born in Ohio and raised in Vegas), but it is hot in the summer. Over all I do love it here. And I am raising a family here (2 kids, 1 boy who is 11 great kids and a girl who is almost 2) it is possible if you know where to do it at in town. Vegas is like every other city. We have our bad parts of town and good parts of town. Stay away from living near the strip, that would be a bad part of town to live in LOL. Good luck to you. And BTW for what you are paying in rent right now I am sure you won't have any problem finding a place for that or even less.

From what I hear, Vegas will soon be BYOW (bring your own water). So plan on being thirsty most of the time.

it shouldnt be that hard to fine a place for under 2000 a month, but trust me, you dont want to be that close to the strip. take a look at craigslist in vegas you can probably find a decent 3 br house for that, but jobs being what they are you might want to go alot cheaper until you all have stable jobs. i lived in Riverbend Village Apartments on flamingo and spencer,its not a great area but there are far worse and for the most part the property itself is pretty quiet. it is a straight shot to the strip, just right up flamingo and you are there. there you can expect to pay less than $1000 for a 3br the # is 702-737-0488

I received my BA in Psychology from UNLV in May 2008, and am now working towards my PhD in Physics. I personally think it's a great school - in my years of studying there, I only met one professor who’s class I did not really enjoy, and it was mostly because it was an online class and he was very unfamiliar with computers. The professors are very nice, the counselors are generally willing to discuss your academic goals at a length, and they offer a huge variety of programs – you can pretty much study for anything at that school. There's also a great mixture of people at UNLV - it has fraternities and sororities, but it’s not dominated by the typical college-type culture. There are a lot of people seeking degrees who work full time and have kids – it makes for a really interesting classroom dynamic. I love the school and plan to finish my PhD there. My only complaint would be that the campus, in some areas, isn’t aesthetically pleasing, but the new buildings are very nice and the quality of the education is more important than the façade of the buildings. Good luck :) Hope this helps.

I want to study law. Also i want to play soccer in college i made my varsity team this year as a freshman and its a very skilled team and im on a very skilled club team.

Hoping someone who lives in these areas will have some good things to say about the areas. We have a young child that will be in school but would like to move from the harsh winters and it is also very expensive here in CT.

I live in California, but my father-in-law lives in Fountain Hills Arizona (not far from Phoenix). Winters will definitely be milder than CT. Snow is rare in the Phoenix area. At most, you will see an inch or two. Summers can be extremely hot. Temps can reach 120 degrees easily, but normally the highs hang around 90-100 degrees most days. The thing I had trouble getting used to though is the hot evenings. In CA in the summer, it can be 100 degrees in the day, but by nightfall, it's cooled at least 20 degrees. In AZ, it can still be 100 degrees at 10pm. I was there a couple years ago on July 4th, and the heat was unbearable! As far as children, I believe Phoenix is a nice place to raise them. There are a lot of nice parks and plenty of family-friendly city events, especially during the holidays. Crime is relatively low, but as in all large cities, it does occur to some extent. I I have never seen anyone carrying a gun around, but I've heard that guns may be carried in the open, as long as they are in a holster. It is also acceptable to have a gun in your car if it is not concealed.

I think Phoenix is the way to go. I lived there with my wife and daughter a few years ago. We loved it. There is so much to do in and around Phx for kids and adults. Just look into school systems. I would not have my kids go to Phx schools, but the suburban schools are pretty good. The nice thing is you can choose what school you want your child to go to even if it isn't the closest. That was the case with our daughter. We had to drive her there, but the school was better than the one nearer to our house. If you do decide to move, enjoy the weather and Good Luck!
