UNLV REBELS

University of Nevada, Las Vegas Student Body

College is a big decision. Deciding to come to a new place can be a big step. Finding your way around a huge community can be enlightening, but it's normal to be a little apprehensive. We, as current UNLV students, are here to make it a less overwhelming experience.

This is a blog dedicated to helping future Rebels find their home. With blog posts covering academics, resources, and experiences, our goal is to assist students as they transition into UNLV.

Be sure to explore the site and take a look at all the opportunities that UNLV has to offer from a student perspective.

If you have any questions or concerns, be sure to click the Connect With A Rebel page and we'll help you out!
