Nevada State is an amazing state school. They have smaller class sizes and professors are great at communicating, besides office hours most professor have a 24 hour turnaround on emails and returning phone calls. NSC has many bachelor's programs, but not overwhelming and each program has their own set of advisers.
Personal have never had a problem working with advisers, financial aid or registration people. They even offer a few academic scholarships and grants for students who are struggling financially. Last year, I took a workshop for help with my Praxis Test (teaching program admittance test) and the program paid for the class and textbook.
Only problem is it is a smaller college and has certain amount of professors so at times, it is a challenge to get in classes certain times of the day. Also it is close to the freeway (awesome!) but kind of in the middle of no where.
Review Nevada State College
Nevada state college is a great school! There are many helpful resources and people in the school. The teachers are very helpful and the administrators! The one thing is that they should offer more careers and programs. The cafeteria should have more food items to choose from. I love my school and becoming a scorpion!
I am at NSC to work on a career change. As a mother of 2, I love the diversity of students in each class.
My biology teachers have been incredible! The campus is very clean (& new;) and easy to get to.
It's sometimes hard getting into certain classes you need.
I also wish they had childcare on site.
