UNLV is expected to welcome its largest student body ever this fall, surpassing 34,000 students for the first time in university history and marking a fourth consecutive year of enrollment growth. Nearly 7,000 first-year and transfer students will join the Rebel community, including 300 student veterans, active-duty service members, and military family members. More than 88% of first-year students come from Nevada, while California, Hawaii, and Washington are the top home states for out-of-state students. And, more than half of the incoming freshman class will be the first in their family to earn a four-year degree, reflecting UNLV's continued role in expanding educational opportunity and preparing the state's future workforce.
