Honest answers from a commuter!

Instate, cheap, full ride + refund. I wanted to save money and literally was given the opportunity to obtain my bachelors for free, and I plan on going to medical school after. It only made sense to get this paid for so I don't add even more debt that I will be getting in medical school.

I love my major and the curriculum. I've learned so much about the field of public health and the nitty gritty sub-division of topics that fall under this whole field of health. It's structured very well at UNLV, but on my pre-med side, I will say the science department needs a lot of help. Too many teachers that don't care and don't care about how you learn the material in their class.

SAT- 1520, ACT-22. I've taken a lot of exams in college, considering I am now the 4th year. This summer I will be studying for the MCAT and taking it around the beginning of fall.

I'm still a 4th year so I'm not sure. Most students although I've seen obtain bachelors and go on to get a masters or professional degree (the people around me are mainly science majors so it makes sense). I know that?s what I will be doing so I'm not sure about connecting graduating individuals to careers right out of a bachelor.

I haven't seen any internship opportunities offered at my school yet. I know there?s classes that require you to obtain internships and help you find them, but I'm not sure if the school itself has any.

A lot of different clubs and organizations for every type of individual, so everything you can think of gets celebrated. The school still needs a lot of time and patience when it comes to inclusion. Not easy being a minority at this PWI that's for sure!

I'm a unique case because I started college paid for (blessed) because of FAFSA, school grants and scholarships. So I basically sign up for classes then right when class is about to start I get the receipt that the payment went through. But it is about 200 something a credit, and your tuition includes insurance for the health center and access to the gym and such.

FAFSA is stressful every year it seems like. Especially when asked for verification. That process is horrendous and scary because I almost had to stop school one semester. But when it does go right, I literally just fill FAFSA out, and I got a scholarship through a program I'm in called TRIO that was very easy to obtain (just requires me to do 40 hours of service a semester).

It depends on the class. The pre-med side says no homework usually. About 3-5 exams and that's about it on your grade for the class (most of the time for science courses. Might have some quizzes sprinkled in). Public health and pre-requisite side say your typical chapters of reading and exams ask you pretty much verbatim about the stuff you've been lectured about. Science/math is a different beast. More conceptual and applying information.

The same type of answer. PBH department faculty are amazing. Professors, advisors, etc. science needs a lot more help, and teachers with good hearts. There's no compassion or real love for their fields sometimes and it's palpable the difference between someone who cares and someone who doesn't.

I'm a commuter! I live at home so I can't properly answer this question. I save a lot of money by still living at home, and I love about 9 minutes away from school with no freeway traffic. I don't have many friends that live in dorms, considering UNLV is considered a commuter school.
