<p>Does anyone know anything about the University of Nevada Las Vegas or University of Nevada Reno?They are pretty much my two choices since i get a big discount off tuition.I tried to read reviews about them and people generally rated Reno higher than Las Vegas</p>
<p>I live in NV, and I'd actually say that UNLV is the better school. </p>
<p>UNR is an okay school, but it doesn't really stand out in any way. </p>
<p>UNLV has lots of highly regarded programs, and has more of a name in the world.</p>
<p>I like Reno (the town) better than Las Vegas and UNLV is only more known than UNR, in my opinion, because of basketball. Academically I can't discern an overall difference but perhaps departmentally each has better and worse options so if you know your general area(s) of interest, that might help you make your choice. You can check specific department websites and compare the same department/major at each school and perhaps one will appeal more than the other. Otherwise, visit both and choose the one that seems like the better fit for you.</p>
<p>Really? Everyone I know who goes to UNR hates the city of Reno. They all say that it's really run-down.</p>
<p>You're right about the departmental thing though. UNLV shines in hotel management, hospitality, business, communications/journalism, education related fields. UNR has a fairly good journalism school, and slightly more of a liberal arts focus.</p>
