It is a little secluded.

Mehaki

My classmates are highly inteligent and articulate. They are very helpful and pleasant to be around.

Friendly for the most part. It is "Vegas Baby", so people like to party. Stay away from that and you'll do ok.

Stepheni

My classmates represent numerous people groups and ethnicities including African American, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Polynesian, Australian, English, South African, Peruvian, Latin American, and Native American; everyone is welcoming and willing to share a bit of their culture to help enlighten and include others into a new way of life.

Alanna

My classmates are all trying to do their best.

Amy

UNLV students are accepting, no matter what your past is, where you come from, what you believe all students are welcomed with open arms into the UNLV family.

Whitney

My classmates are very diverse in age and race.

Linda

My classmates are inviting and focused.

Winita

My classmates are vastly diverse.

Jami

There are many different groups on-campus, geared toward all types of students. Personally, I stay clear of the religious students that participate in the free-speech area because they contradict my beliefs, but the groups are available for those who want to join. I really don't think there are any students that would feel out of place here. Students range from all kinds of international backgrounds, all ages, etc. Most of the students are from Vegas or California, but there are still many students from all over the world. Greek life is very prevalent on campus, so seeing people in letters is very common. Otherwise, the environment of the students is just really laid-back and chill.

Zoe

There are all types of students who attend UNLV. They come from all types of socioeconomic backgrounds. There are a lot different styles of people those who dress up everyday for class or just roll out of bed and stumble in as well as the very few that weird ears and fluffy tails and that whole thing. I don't think anyone would not fit in at UNLV except if you were extremely intolerant of different individuals.

Yvette

I attend school with people from all over the United States and around the world, which creates a student body of different ethnicities, values, and behavioral norms.

John

It is one of the most diverse campuses in the nation. Every student can find their place here.

Noe

My classmates are diverse and very easy to get along with.

Bryan

There are a bunch of different kinds of students at unlv. people from all different backgrounds attend but seeing as how this is a university, most of the kids have some kind of money. those who don't get along just fine with those that do. since it is not an ivy league school there is no big gap of wealth between the students. all of the students get along just fine with only a few snide remarks thrown at the frats every now and again. i honestly don't think any student would feel out of place at this school. most students are casual and just wear whatever to class but you get your business student wearing suits every once in a while. nobody really cares but a lot of people dress to impress. students seem to be pretty politically active and aware but then again who knows, they might just be talking out of their butts. i hear a lot of the students talk about how much they will earn one day but it is mostly from kids in a field where they are poised to make a lot of money or from kids who come from a pretty wealthy background.

Dairene

If I had to describe my classmates in one word, it would have to be: determined.

Gregg

They are communters that are serious, for the most part, about their education and want a successful future, but they have a life outside of school.

Brianna

UNLV is a campus filled with diverse students from all different backgrounds. While some of my peers come from the East Coast or even the Eastern World, the majority of my classmates are Nevada locals. Because Las Vegas itself is a fast-growing and innovative city, most people have migrated here further increasing the diversity across the board at UNLV. I really enjoy meeting new people and learning about different cultures and attending UNLV gives me the opportunity to do just that while obtaining my education.

Madison

In the classes that I have taken in the past year, I have been around many classmates.

UNLV's student body is composed of people from all backgrounds and is a very diverse campus. We have not only locals, but students from all 50 states and over 80 countries! UNLV's student body is also very active, not only in club/organization issues, but in issues that affect the university as well. For example, we have had two budget cut rallies which had a great turnout, thanks to the participation of the students.

Kelsey

The student body is pretty open. There are over 200 clubs and groups on campus to get involved with. We as students just need to make the choice to get involved. There is usually always something to do on campus. One of my favorite things to do on campus is go to the basketball games. Everyone is excited to be there, and it really shows.
