University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe Reviews
Rating 3.56 out of 5 207 reviews
So far being a university of Nevada Reno student has been good. Being that I am a journalism major, it is a good place for me to be where the journalism college is rated very high.
At first, I did not realize how big the campus was. The first couple classes I was not prepared to walk the half mile to and from one class to another on certain days. But, I have since gotten used to walking plenty and enjoy the landscaping of the campus. I love how there are some artistic qualities on the campus, such as, statues, fountains, gazebo with lots of greenery. The location of the campus is right near downtown Reno and although it is not my favorite it does have access to some accommodations like restaurants and gas stations.
I also like the social events that are continually happening around campus. I don't feel as though I would miss out much. I also like how some of these social events notify you via email that are similar to your degree which is beneficial. Helps to create networks of people for your future career.
And most importantly, I enjoy resources available to your success. Whatever you need to help you succeed is there an readily available to all students.

I loved the campus I thought it was so beautiful and cozy I loved seeing the rooms and beautiful scenery and the programs were very interesting and made me very excited to be apart of such a great school and I never though I would see such a college with an amazing study rooms were very amazing where people can focus and do their home work and seeing alll the computers were very cool and seeing the distances from all of the buildings were interesting to get the perspective on where to see what could be your walking distance and to get a feel about what could be the walking distance I also thought the dorms were nice people seem very giving at this school also very nice and welcoming and it was so beautiful to see everything and the programs looked very interesting to see the difference in the majors were very cool too and it made thing to think about for future which is super close to go there if I hopefully get in I’m very excited
The staff has been helpful with the enrollment process and upperclassmen have also been helpful with answering questions.
The online program at least has professors qualified to teach so there's that. It's also thousands cheaper.
SNU is a small, but very beautiful school located in a beautiful area. All the professors are great and the amount of support provided by the school is amazing as well.
Horrible experience with this school. Very little professionalism and they only seem to care about your money. Counselors seem to change quite often so you will need to stay on top of things yourself if you expect to graduate on time. I thought many classes were quite useless. A sense of arrogance among staff. Beware!
Horrible school. You will be better off at state school. Expensive and very little to show for your money!
If you're looking for a one of a kind college experience that is different from the norm, I would highly recommend Sierra Nevada University. Nestled in Incline Village in the Northern Sierra Nevada's, it offers a plethora of outdoor activities and a vibrant college social life. From paddle boarding on majestic Lake Tahoe to skiing the slopes of Mt. Rose or backpacking the Tahoe Rim Trail, the amount of exploration and opportunities for discovery are seemingly endless. The amount of personal time that the teachers are willing to put into every student is awesome in every sense of the word. I still talk to and check in with professors that I no longer even have. Not because I have a question that I need answered, but simply because of good rapport. If you're looking for a college that truly cares about the success of their students and takes the time to develop one's passions and skills, then you've come to the right place!
Please educate yourself before attending this university. It takes a certain person to love this school enough to stay there for four years. I transferred from this school after two years and believe it was the best decision I ever made. Unless if you are a ski-bum/stoner, you will won’t feel like you belong. Literally all people do at this school is ski and smoke weed/do heavy drugs. It’s a very small school to the point where you know everyone as if they were siblings. The food is awful, the courses are all very poorly taught, with the exception of a few professors. If you are huge on the outdoors and a hippy lifestyle this might not be a bad place for you. All that said, deciding on a college is a big step in life that will ultimately shape who you are as an adult. Attending SNU is not for everyone, I know people who loved it and those who absolutely hated it.
The school is poorly managed. Nobody knows what they are doing . Lack of diversity and mistreatment towards diverse students there. Students there have a cult like mentality. Honestly a waste of money and just not worth it . Please avoid the school at all cost.
Please read! Only go here if you ski/snowboard avidly and are in love with it, you can easily do that everyday with other kids who love it, and you're going to have a great time. If not, please please do something better: It's expensive, the food is barely edible(seriously, i've gone hungry a lot), many of the courses are such a waste of time you'll wonder how its allowed, the school is so small you’ll know everyone's name the first day, socializing happens once or twice a week, and you're really going to wish you went to a school that challenges and stimulates you.
If you're not passionate about snow sports, please take advantage of your college years by going to a school that's going to push you, socially and academically so you learn about your field and are set up for success.however If you are passionate about snow sports, you're going to have the time of your life regardless of how the school is because you'll be busy and theres nothing wrong with that if its your thing.

Stunning campus. Just beautiful. Amazing school culture, strong student involvement, and overall a very happy place. However, academics could be stronger. A lot of teachers are old, forgetful, and disorganized. This makes learning quite difficult and my grades have sometimes suffered from it. It's too expensive for the quality of education being provided. That being said, I love this school. It's a very unique and special place and I would make the same choice to attend now as I did two years ago.
This college was not the best in my opinion. I felt like I didn’t have any growth in my major and no room for growth otherwise. The courses are slim picking and there’s only a few good professors. The housing staff is not very best and it’s hard to reach people in case of an emergency. The dorms are falling apart I guess that can be expected.
It’s extremely expensive and in my opinion not worth it.
If your coming here just to party and live in Tahoe you’ve come to the right place. There’s lots to do if your athletic like rock climbing, skiing, hiking ect. But if your not into stuff like that it can get pretty boring.

Sierra Nevada College had the most beautiful campus ever. It's located a half of a mile away from the beautiful Lake Tahoe shore. The surrounding area had tons of back country access and many ski resorts. It's the ultimate ski college.
Beautiful place to study at. The teachers are passionate about what they do and strive to introduce a new way of learning.
Sierra Nevada College has been amazing with all of my questions and enrollment process. I always look forward to hearing from my instructors or counselors because they’re always positive and ready to help.
