Question/Discussion Has UNR changed?

0 Upvotes

I graduated from UNR in December 2019, ending the decade on a high note. I haven’t took a class since December 2019 and I’m still convinced that at the age of thirty, I will never attend grad school and just work for the rest of my life.

As an alumni, I want to know how much has UNR changed since then. Haws UNR changed? I’m talking about the quality of the classes, the teaching, the academic resources, the campus life, dorms, sororities and fraternities, athletics, and UNR in general.

I’m aware of ai being used in education and has the university been cracking down on ai or has there been reports of ai usage in class. I knew plagiarism is a zero tolerance thing at universities but I’m curious to know if ai is being used or not.

Has COVID affected college life for the worse or not? I graduated just before the pandemic started so I was lucky enough to finish school before everything went down.

While I’m happy I got a diploma from UNR, it has become less of a thing to remember compared to high school. I devoted too much time studying at the library and never join a fraternity because of the toxic environment of them. I don’t know why, but college hasn’t been a part of my life since I graduated. The more I think about it, the less I have a strong connection to it. I still think about my K-12 days more, especially high school and the teachers and coaches who were part of that experience compared to the numerous professors I had.

From starting pre-school in 2001 to graduating from college with a bachelor’s degree in 2019, I was in a classroom non stop and it worn out on me. While there have been ups and downs since I began my post education life in January 2020, I got to experience the joys of it.

So to finish it all up, I’m asking as an alumni how has UNR turned out since then.

Question/Discussion Just applied as an art major, now what?

4 Upvotes

Hi guys I'm figuring out college all by myself and I'm so scared bro

I just applied to UNR as a transfer student from California, and I selected a BA in Art with a sub plan of Digital Media. I plan to minor in Marketing here as well. I just applied today, so I'm waiting for a response or follow up email. For context, I'll be graduating/transferring from my community college in May with an AA in Graphic Design, and my ultimate goal is to land a career in advertising/photo editing.

I guess my biggest questions are what is the major like for other students here? Like what should I know and be prepared for about campus and classes? As far as I'm aware it's actually in Reno, but I just saw something about campus for art being up by Tahoe like hello T-T

If there's anyone who goes here who can help me understand what I'm doing a little bit better I would be super grateful !!!

Does anyone know why it’s just oldies at the Pack Place? The adverts for Rockbot is still up but requested songs do not play here? Do they not actually trust UNR students to select music from a corporate curated playlist?

Job Opportunities Looking for on-campus jobs at UNR

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a Business Administration student at UNR, and I’m currently looking for an on-campus job.
Does anyone know which departments are currently hiring student workers? I’m especially interested in office assistant, front desk, library, or administrative positions.
If you’ve worked on campus before, I’d really appreciate any advice on where to apply or which departments are easier to get hired in. Thank you!!

Rant Don't waste your time here.

19 Upvotes

SERIOUSLY, don't waste your time renting at Elevation at the U. This place has really gone downhill over the last few years and they DO NOT care when tenants bring up concerns/complaints to management. They've changed management and ownership multiple times in the last few years and things have continued to get worse over time.

Current management does not like taking suggestions from tenants. They make a lot of decisions that affect the apartment community without considering residents' concerns and without much explanation for why things are being changed the way they are.

The maintenance guy doesn't respond to requests in a timely manner and sometimes the services provided are rushed or incomplete. Several unnecessary "upgrades" have been made to the property without input from the people who live here (e.g., randomly painting the doors bright colors, putting rocks and flowers everywhere).

They like to say they have a lot of amenities but that's not really the case. We have subpar parking that gets taken up by people who can't afford private parking at the neighboring apartment complexes and students who are rushing to go to class, yet residents struggle to find parking because despite mentioning 24 hour towing, they don't actually enforce it. Often times, this results in unauthorized vehicles taking up parking after management has left for the day and then sneaking out of the parking lot before they come back to the office the following morning. Management needs to be more vigilant about tagging cars that don't belong here and getting them towed regularly instead of suggesting that they could start charging for parking, considering they truly don't have much else to offer residents in terms of amenities. Sure, the proximity to UNR is convenient if you're a student, but that shouldn't mean non-student residents are required to cater to them.

Rent keeps increasing despite not having amenities comparable to the ones provided by the surrounding competitors. Location in itself is NOT an amenity, so it's hard to understand how these absurd rental prices are considered on par with the market when there isn't much being offered to the residents.

TLDR; This apartment complex sucks. Y'all need to do better and start caring about the people who live here.

Question/Discussion Online classes

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a recent transfer to UNR and was wondering if anyone knows if there will be more online classes will be added on to spring quarter as registered gets closer. For my major I need upperclassmen classes which are all on campus currently and was hoping someone knew what the chances of those being converted to online would be. I live an hour away from Reno and am avoiding commuting as much as possible. Any info will be very much appreciated!
