College Prowler Take
Campus housing at UNLV has its high and low points. The many buildings and special floors all have their own atmosphere as well as varying degrees of newness. While Tonopah is known for being one of the oldest and largest housing buildings, it is also conveniently located in the middle of campus and is always occupied by a spirited bunch of students, though that spirit can also translate to some late and loud nights. In comparison, the Dayton complex holds the newest campus dorms available; however, it’s on the very edge of the 337-acre campus. Some high points of dorm living at UNLV are the variety of special floors offered and the convenience. With a wide range of choices, the special floors allow students a chance to surround themselves with others who share the same interests and majors. Even though the majority of UNLV students don’t live on campus, all admit to the benefits it offers. If you live on campus, you’re surrounded with the activities and clubs for students and are more likely to participate. And well, you can hit the snooze button a few more times and not be late to class. Students Speak Out

Attempt to get into the honors college and get their dorm floor. It is the nicest floor. Also, the no-substance floors are normally better than the others because the other floors are normally quite disgusting.

Stay out of anything but the Upper Class Complex, Tonopah central and south, or the Dayton Complex. All the others are horrible. And they charge way too much. |

The dorms here are much nicer than the dorms at other schools. I think that the newer Tonapahs, central and south, and Dayton are the best. |

For students from Las Vegas, I would highly recommend living in the dorms because it gives you the college experience, and it’s a great way to meet people. It’s required for freshmen from outside Clark County to live in the dorms, so don’t sign a waiver to get out of it. The dorms are how you meet people. For students who said UNLV doesn’t have a very good social environment, it’s because they haven’t put any effort into getting involved. College in general is what you make of it, so make it the best experience you possibly can.
