The typical UNR student is first and foremost a spirited individual. There are few students who do not value and support our renowned football, basketball, and volleyball teams. Not only are games a way for students to cheer on their team, but a way for all of us to socialize and come together every weekend. And while Greek life doesn’t dominate our campus it acts an integral part of the school spirit as well as educating the campus and community on volunteering and giving back. Outside of school there are tons of outdoor sports and activities to partake in.

Ericson

Attend this school if you are very self motovated. The school is cutting must tutoring programs and it is very hard to get help in the engineering deptartment. The liberal arts colleges are a lot more relaxed and pretty easy. If you are into partying and your not going to stay focused there is really nothing stopping you from getting lost and failing everything. No one at the college will say anyting nor suggest counseling, they will just let you fail.

Before academics, I think it is important that outdoorsy people attend this school. It's a beautiful city and campus and that beauty can only be seen if you spend time outside. As for academics, a studen attending UNR must know that while we are not an ivy league school the teachers care the same and the material isn't any easier. You've got to focus, work hard and interact with your fellow students while still leaving some time for fun on your days off.

A type of person that should attend the University of Nevada Reno are the ones who enjoy a good learning environment.
