University of Nevada Programs: Tuition fees, Ranking, Scholarships, Application Deadlines & Entry Requirements

Instate can be about $5000 or less. Out-state can go up to $15000 (might be including or excluding room and board.) loans are available depending on one's FAFSA form for the school year. Financial aid is reviewed on an individual basis and aid is determined by that. Pell grant, millennium (instate scholarship) are both common ones and depends on the number of credits a student is taking. 12 credits equal full-time status.

In my hometown, I got brochures and info from high school. Online application to fill out. There was a $60 application fee for prospective students too. It can take 3-6 weeks for a denial/acceptance letter. I applied to 2 colleges including the current one. They were both in my home town, one university and one community. Chose because it's Close to home.

The course curriculum can be little daunting, but the classes broaden the world view. There's a lot of readings and that goes into the courses, though. I always recommend looking into the professors who teach them since not everyone teaches the same.

There are construction fees, gym fees, fine fees, tech fees, online learning fees if taking online courses, student health fees, and lab fees. Some are per credit while others are a flat charge.

As a history major, I feel like I'm taking classes that don't prepare me for my major other than giving me global background information. I am actually changing my major if possible because I feel I am not learning enough.

Our website has a great breakdown of fees and tuition. There are however a lot of small charges that add up.
