UNLV --> University of Nevada - Las Vegas

We had experienced a large influx of students after our national championship in Basketball ('92), and now we are seeing it again, with a massive overhaul of our campus (Hundreds of Millions being spent on the Midtown UNLV project, with new academic centers, student facilities, and amazing landscaping).

Academically, it really is difficult to graduate from UNLV, definitely harder than SUNY Albany, where I did my undergrad. There MBA program, so far, seems to be very intense. (Also, boasting what I perceive, as someone in the business, as the best hospitality and tourism school in the nation)
Yes, there are plenty of opportunities to party (if your over 21 and have $$), but there are just as many opportunities to learn as well.

I have talked with professors, and there is going to be a big push in reducing the number of graduate students teaching classes, and recruiting more Ph D's to come to UNLV to teach.

We are one more national championship away from great notoriety.

P.S. It is one of the cheapest universities in the country for in state tuition; especially graduate school!
