<p>I'm considering both and they each have interesting qualities to themselves... So, I'm wondering what you all think.. Which University of Nevada is better than the other? Thanks!</p>
<p>In your other thread you were told that the UN schools aren’t very good. You really should either look at your instate choices or maybe Arizona schools…UAz, ASU, or NAU. </p>
<p>If you need a good amount of aid in order to attend ANY of these OOS publics, then none of them will likely work out for you.</p>
<p>I understand that people don’t think highly of the Nevada universities, but I just haven’t heard any reasons from anyone. If anyone went to any of the two, their thoughts would also be appreciated.</p>
<p>NAU, UNR, and UNLV have WUE discounts that bring the list price down to close to in-state CSU cost:
[Western</a> Undergraduate Exchange - Undergraduate Admissions and Orientation - Northern Arizona University](<a href=“Tuition and fees | Northern Arizona University”>Tuition and fees | Northern Arizona University)
[Tuition</a> Discounts: Tuition and Fees: University of Nevada, Reno](<a href=“http://www.unr.edu/tuition-and-fees/tuition-discounts]Tuition”>Western Undergraduate Exchange | Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships | University of Nevada, Reno)
[Western</a> Undergraduate Exchange Program (WUE) | Financial Aid & Scholarships | University of Nevada, Las Vegas](<a href=“http://www.unlv.edu/finaid/scholarships/wue]Western”>Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE))
However, need-based financial aid beyond that may not be too generous – check the net price calculator.</p>
<p>UA and ASU limit WUE discounts to some majors or programs not on the main campus.</p>
<p>If you are a California resident, what would be the problem with attending a state university in California?</p>
<p>I’m looking into a few Cal States, but very doubtful that I would get in, only because my grades aren’t the most competitive, especially if I’m out of their service area. I’m looking into oos schools in addition, just in case.</p>
<p>FWIW Reno is the flagship. The setting in Reno - mountains, lakes nearby trumps Vegas.</p>
<p>If the 3.2 GPA you reported in another thread translates to a similar or higher GPA by the CSU calculation, then (as a California resident) you should be able to get into a non-impacted major at a non-impacted campus. In addition, many impacted campuses and majors are not that competitive. (Did you include Chico, Pomona, and San Francisco in your CSU applications, since they are not major-impacted for the hospitality and tourism management major that you mentioned elsewhere like San Diego and San Jose?)</p>

<p>Disney, are you a senior or junior?</p>
<p>If you’re a senior, where have you applied so far? If you’re a junior, then be sure to apply to some of the CSUs that Ucb mentions in his post. </p>
<p>Disney, what is your budget? how much will your parents’ pay? If they’ll pay up to $25k, you may have other WUE options. If your parents won’t pay much, then the WUE schools probably will not be affordable.</p>
<p>If you’re lowish income, then a CSU will be your best bet since a Cal Grant, Pell Grant, and other gov’t aid will cover most/all basic education costs.</p>
<p>Listen to mom and UCBalumnus. I agree with them completely. Why spend more on some schools that will offer less than most CSUs, which as UCBalumnus said you will likely be accepted to.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies everyone. I am a junior by the way. I just thought it was way harder to get into any CSU’s except the ones in your area now. I didn’t think I would get into any. </p>
<p>@ucbalumnus do you think I could have a chance of getting into Pomona or San Francisco? Pomona looks awesome but I know it’s highly competitive. Also, I didn’t think Chico offers hospitality?</p>
<p>[Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“http://www.assist.org%5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org) shows the following as hospitality management majors, although you need to check them to make sure that they are actually suitable for what you want to study (since some seem to be options within differently-named majors):</p>

<p>It is pretty hard to gauge the selectivity of impacted campuses and majors, as most do not post their impaction thresholds like [url=<a href=“http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/admission/rec-946.html]SJSU[/url”>http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/admission/rec-946.html]SJSU[/url</a>] does.</p>
<p>It does look like the ASSIST list above lists more potential CSU campuses than the impacted majors matrix (i.e. CSUFULL, CSUEB, CSUMB, CSUN and SJSU, in addition to CPP, CSUC, SDSU, and SFSU).</p>
<p>CSU Monterey Bay may be the easiest one to get accepted to.</p>
<p>Actually, I would be surprised if the OP with a 3.2 GPA got zero acceptances if s/he applied to all of the CSUs listed in #11, assuming that s/he otherwise met CSU admission requirements (a-g courses, etc.). CSUEB and CSUMB are not campus impacted for freshmen, and the major is probably not impacted there either (so baseline CSU eligibility will gain admission if that is the case). Even SJSU’s threshold for the hospitality major was not particularly high for the fall 2012 freshman class.</p>
<p>Hmm… Thanks for the info. The only CSU’s I would be interested in attending are Pomona, Fullerton, San Fran, and San Jose… I’ve seen both East Bay and Monterey campuses, and both are not my type of school at all. Not to sound picky, but I just know I wouldn’t like them if I went there.</p>
<p>Do you know that you will not like the other CSUs if you went there? How do you know that you will like UNR, UNLV, or UCF better than the other CSUs?</p>
<p>In any case, you likely have a decent shot at getting into one or more of the four CSUs you like most (maybe even all four), if you keep your grades up and do reasonably well on the SAT or ACT.</p>
<p>I see from another post that you want to work at Disneyland. If so, then apply to CSUFullerton, but if you don’t get in, then go to Fullerton College or another nearby CC and then transfer to CSUF.</p>
<p>CSUF is one of the hardest CSUs to get accepted to, but if you went to Fullerton College first, it would be an easier transfer. </p>
<p>How much will your parents pay for college? If you don’t know, ask them. Some of your plans won’t be possible unless your parents are willing to pay a good bit for college.</p>
<p>University of Nevada: Reno is by far the superior one, compared to UNLV. That’s just my personal opinion though :)</p>
