College of Southern Nevada — Attraction in Las Vegas

Wayyy better than High School // Highly recommend // Full Review Below I registered for CSN after high school and this is my experience + advice:

It has its ups and downs but let me tell you: I am an introvert, second to youngest of five siblings in a medium-low income family, and I wasn't certain what I wanted to do career-wise. I was one of those people who didn't even consider CSN an option in high school because people always told me bad things about it, (you've probably heard the same). But I'm glad I didn't listen to them! I'm a current student at CSN and I'm genuinely happy to go to class every. single. day. I cannot stress enough how many resources are available here. People are so quick to write a bad review about one bad experience; out of about 10 experiences, one was meh and two were okay but the rest were great. Just be persistent like, keep asking and emailing and updating and advocating for yourself because it's so worth it!! All my professors are super chill and actually care about their students. If this is a worry for you literally just check ratemyprofessors.com lol. The library is bougie and clean and all the facilities are super accessible for people with disabilities. I swear all the doors have that automatic open button. The student union looks like it's owned by Tony Stark, really clean and modern, with a mini Starbucks/cafeteria inside. Honestly, I don't know if they've gotten more funding or better staff over the years but this school has truly gotten chef's kiss. Oh, and the best part is I got a ton of financial aid so I had way more than enough to buy books and all my supplies. They offer a lot of scholarships and have raffles and stuff for $$$, especially for recent graduating high schoolers, so you probably won't have to pay if you do your FAFSA early and budget the costs. Btw.. All the buildings have huge letters ABC etc, so if you're worried you'll get lost just print the colorful map on their website.

Some other notable things: You get a $10 printing credit per semester, it's like a few cents per page so.. Go to some events, it was hard to meet people bc of the pandemic but I got a ton of free stuff like shirts, water bottles, lanyards, f o o d.. and everyone is super nice at those Don't be worried if you don't have friends! I actually don't feel weird going alone to events or to the library, once again it's super chill everybody minds their business.. Get lost lmao, nobody cares if you're walking around aimlessly so go explore and find a space you like for studying. But don't be afraid to ask for help either!

Overall, a super chill study/hang space to escape from all the crazy ppl in Vegas, a good education (choose your profs. wisely!!), a safe/accessible place for disabled and nervous people, and cheap for the value & services they offer. I don't really write reviews but I do truly recommend...

I am writing this review for the College of Southern Nevada as a whole. Horrible institution; Oh they'll be quick to promote themselves as a college that values all opinions, cares about its students, has knowledgeable administrative staff, caring professors, etc; but once you actually register you'll soon find out its the complete opposite!

I attended all 3 campuses from 2014 - 2017 & got my AS associates here, & it was generally an overall negative experience. Ungrateful and uncaring financial assistance / registration employees who absolutely hate their lives and jobs. Don't believe me? Call them up and ask them questions regarding assistance. Its full of counselors who could care less about the students career path, and give them vague wrong information, which could cause the student having to take a course that doesn't count toward credit ahem, me. out of all the professors I had here I would say 1/4 of all the professors are actually really good instructors and good people that genuinely care about the students which Is why I give them two stars rather than one. Most professors could give less of a damn about the students; how they are doing, course understanding, grades. If you are the type of student who is quite or doesn't conform easily to political correctness then prepare to be stigmatized here by self worshiping pompous, snooty, conceded, huff and puff professors. Their free student tutoring feature is also the bottom of the rung as they employ undergraduate students whom they themselves know just about as much on the topic as you do; few tutors are actually really good and genuinely care though.

I had an overall negative experience here, ow well whats been said is already done, I am glad I am done with this miserable place & never have to step...

I am immensely grateful for my experience at the College of Southern Nevada (CSN). Even though I have graduated from UNLV, I still consider CSN as my alma mater. CSN provided me with numerous opportunities and placed a strong emphasis on prioritizing students. I was privileged to join the Student Ambassador program within the Department of Recruitment & College Connections and had the utmost honor of serving as President for the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. These remarkable opportunities, coupled with navigating a change of major to business, truly inspired me to pursue a career in Human Resources (HR). Without the guidance of the wonderful professors, phenomenal advisors, and supportive coworkers at CSN, I am uncertain where I would be today. I appreciated the diverse age range of students at CSN, with the average student age being 27 during my attendance. Learning from such a varied group enriched my educational experience, fostering countless connections and cherished memories. Upon graduating with my Associate's in Business in 2021, I wished that CSN offered a Bachelor's in Human Resources so I could have continued my education there. However, after completing my Bachelor's at UNLV, I reflect on the profound impact CSN had on shaping my future for the better. I am grateful for choosing community college over directly enrolling at UNLV. Additionally, obtaining numerous scholarships at CSN significantly minimized my out-of-pocket expenses, allowing me to graduate without the burden of financial strain. The experience at CSN remains vivid in my mind even after completing my undergraduate degrees. I wish more people understood the excellence of this institution. Thank you, CSN,...
