I did my undergrad at UNLV and can say, in all honesty, the majority of professors are AMAZING. Who is your POI?
There is much more to living in Las Vegas than strippers and casinos. Once you get off the strip, it is pretty much like any other suburb in America. Well, except for the occasional neighborhood casino, which house most of the movie theaters and the slot machines in the grocery stores. You will get use to it though. In fact, you won’t even notice it after awhile. Plus Las Vegas is a great place to study cultural anthropology!
I should warn you that the neighborhood right around the university isn’t that nice. I suggest looking for housing a little ways away in Green Valley, Henderson or Silverado Ranch. It will only be a 10-30 minute commute, depending on which area you choose, but it is much nicer. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. Congratulations! You’re going to love it there.
