Well my layman's opinion is it is a pretty crappy school, but I really have nothing besides heresay to back that up.
2 :
I'm past the college age now but have always heard very good things about UNLV. Just because it's located in a town of casinos doesn't mean the school itself is bad!
3 :
well its repuatible and i mean there in the sweet 16 thats always good
4 :
It is a very good school and Las Vegas is a wonderful city with the largest growing population in about the last ten years in the US. This is one of the best cities in the US

UNLV is a great school w/ a good rep. It's certainly not looked at like a joke, I'd be stoked to get in there.
6 :
UNLV has one of the top rated Hotel/Hospitality departments in the U.S. UNLV is also affordable. People that have told you its a joke have no idea what they are talking about, and I hope it wasnt a LV local. I am a proud UNLV graduate.
7 :
Ranked number one in the world for anyone wanting a career in hotel/restaurant management. Very good school overall.

It's funny you grouped Penn State in with your two Ivy League schools. Penn State isn't even a shadow of ANY Ivy League school.
9 :
It won't be a joke. Most state schools (unless you're in Florida, which accept pretty much anyone who applies without discrimination) are pretty reputable.

It's an amazing school. check out this website for a full story and review: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNLV And it can't be a bad school when its singapore campus is located in the national singapore library, a building that is the equivalent to the US library of congress.

It is a U like any other. Academics taken seriously and your degree would be respected. It is always more what you take from the institution that matters more than the institution as is.

as an out of state unlv student i would like to say that the university is a good school that happens to have a reputation for the hotel college because of the location academics are taken seriously even though we are located in an adult tourist center unlv is like any state university with the academic side as well as the entertainment side many concerts and sporting events take place at the thomas and mack center like the rodeo, nba all star game, and the mountain west conference games unlv may not have a great football team but we are proud of our basketball team the school has many students from various countries and states so how can the school be a joke? depending on your major depends on whether unlv is the right school for you but you should not judge something without proper research
