Pretty decent school, same teachers you would find at CSN and UNLV. Small school, small classes good overall atmosphere. I like that they want you to get involved unlike my experience with CSN. There are clubs and science colloquiums to attend, guest speaker events that I really like. They have a lot of resources and a huge emphasis on being environmentally friendly.

I had a lot of the same students in my classes which is nice you can make friends easily. The only bad aspect that I can really think of is that their isn't a whole lot of variety in sessions. Not too many night classes nor online classes to pick from like CSN. I will graduate later because they don't offer the classes I need at the times I need them or sometimes not at all. I think that if it is required on the degree they should have more than enough of those classes to accommodate students that work or cannot attend in the morning!

I love Nevada State College for the small class size and the professors who teach here. The professors here really want you to succeed. They are very approachable in class and outside of class. Professors are always available whenever you need them. Nevada State College is very diverse, however the student life is lacking. The school is commuter based. Many students use some sort of transportation to get to school as well as to find places to eat around the school which there isn't any. Nevada State College does not have dorms/housing. The campus food is reasonable for what it is.
Nevada State College is very small compared to most, if not all, colleges in Nevada. Because the school is so small, the classes are also small creating a more beneficial way of learning for individual students. The school does not have much in the way of sports or other activities but they do focus a lot on academics and there are clubs and small events that help students get involved or talk about issues people are facing in today's society. The cost for attending Nevada State is low in comparison to 4-year colleges such as UNLV and UNR as well.
