What kind of person should not attend this school?

Abalyn

With the diverse and widespread student population UNLV is an ideal school for anyone to go to. There are clubs for members of LGBT groups, African Americans, Hawaiians, Native Americans, students with diverse interests, and so many more. The UNLV campus is such an amazing place for any student. It really allows for expression and a sense of community. There are even clinics for women's health, mental health, and a police station on campus. The University of Nevada, Las Vegas is a welcoming, safe, and fun university that would be perfect for any student.

Vanessa

A person who has a tendency to party or drink too much. Las Vegas is a great city, but it is filled with temptation and also opportunistic people who would love to take advantage of a young college student.

Sabrina

Someone who isn't willing to put themselves out there, apply themselves, and learn. This school is for students who strive to be something greater than what they were when they enrolled. It's for people who want to see a clear difference, between the freshman they were, and the graduate they become.

Amanda

People with money or people with abosolutley none that can get all the federal aid money.

Sofia

A person that does not care for there education.

Maritza

Leslie

I do not believe my school should limit the kind of person that should attend. Everyone is different and have their own form of reacting to new and different situations, their own pace to learn, and most importantly a different level of motivation to learn. Not having the grades in high school or a high enough of SAT or ACT number should not subjectify an individual; maybe after high school they better themselves and learn to appreciate their education more. Regardless, everyone should be given the chance to learn. No excuses.

Students who aren't serious about college shouldn't go to UNLV. This is a college where the students should be serious about their education or even living the college life and enjoying all that college life has to offer.

The type of person that should not attend the University of Nevada- Las Vegas is the type that is not willing to put work into their studies, and also the type of person who does not get into out of class activities and clubs.

If a person really wants to college life, the on campus, pride in the community, then I feel they would not like UNLV. UNLV has many kids who live in Vegas and it is dead on the weekend.

Pashtana

If you don't like big campuses or are very shy, you may fade into the background at UNLV. If you are hung up on attending a school that is already an educational powerhouse, you probably wouldn't like it here either. It's still growing, and while it has made many strides toward refocusingon education, it's not an Ivy.

People who do not like the city life should not attend UNLV. There is alot of diversity at this school, both racially and religiously. Kids who want to be really challenged and earn their grades by hard and challenging work should not attend UNLV.

Pendance

A student should not attend this school if they are not serious about their education and if they can not talk to people around them. You really need to be able to participate in the community to be able to handle this school.

Kristin

I would say people who are not motivated and have no drive to better themelves or their education should not attend UNLV. For the most part, my school is filled with positive energy and dedicated students and teachers. If a person wants to attend our school then I would hope they would have some of the characteristics that I have named and if not, they may be better of at a community college where education is still good but does not have the same to offer as UNLV.

On campus you'll find all types of people, the shy, the loud, the laid-back, and those who are always stressed. Its not hard to find a place where you fit in at all.

Someone who loves wants to be involved with campus activities and campus life...this school is dead...everyone communtes and leaves.
