Its a great opportuninty because even though it isn't top rated it is still a great school and for the price I don't think people should complain that much.

Again, with rare exception the teaching staff are very good. However the social work program is a give away, a person could get an "A" just by attending class and taking a couple of exams. The entire program is a joke in my and many others opinion.Compaired to other classes or majors.I do not understand how the social work program could have possibly been accredited.

I decided to respond to second some of the things that were said previously. I'm giving the university a "positive" review even though some of the things here make me with to give it a "neutral." This is a wonderful, albeit unknown university. The atmosphere would probably improve if there weren't so many commuters and people from the sticks who were just here to get a piece of paper. I guess many public universities have the same problem. The problem is that UNR is a very good mid-western university stuck out in the west. I would have expected the history department here to try to model itself after some of the other midrange west coast universities like Oregon or Washington State, but it really seems most like South Dakota or something of that ilk. I came here from Western Washington University for personal reasons, but I was suprised at how varied their history options were compared to here (they offer Mongolian history and language, for goodness sakes). Look at WWU compared to here--one isn't the state's flagship university, while this one is, yet WWU really seems more like a western university that concentrates on western issues. What this university does do, it does pretty well. I enjoy the history classes here, and I can tell that at least the degree will be taken seriously as I begin to apply to graduate school.

It's obvious that they are trying hard to expand their offerings and hire new faculty with exciting interests such as robotics. I think they'll have to get some more money, but it's a great time to get in on the ground floor here, especially if you're a graduate student. I concur that the school, as a whole, is one of the great unknowns of the West, and, in fact, the country. It does have the typical public school problems, but I went to a top ten public, as well, and found that there will always be a dispartity between the top-notch students and the in-state ones who are just going to get a degree. The general ed requirements are fair, and relevant. One thing I did notice, however, is that the university could do a little more to expand its Asian and Pacific Rim-related courses--it is a Western university, afterall, and could really benefit, as many of the coastal unis have, by offering more of this type of coursework. The campus is incredibly beautiful--probably the prettiest I have ever seen. There is a lot of construction and expansion going on right now, so that's a bit of a downer, but when it's all done, I think it will look just wonderful. The town of Reno and the region surrounding isn't exactly set up for the college student, but if you're into outdoorsy things at all, this entire area can't be beat. Once you turn 21, this is actually a great town to live in. I think the b-ball team's recent success might just show the rest of the country that there's a great school sitting out here in the Washoe. Preparedness: -, Reputation: - Have a Question?
