I chose UNLV because of the diversity and the ability to pursue passions of mine in Jazz and Hospitality. UNLV is a beautiful place and allows for diversity to thrive and continue to grow.

UNLV is an amazing place and it is up to you to utilize everything it has to offer.

I am currently working as the Diversity and Outreach Coordinator for the Residence Hall Association as well as being an orientation leader.

Las Vegas is my hometown and I've always loved it here, I had to move away for a few years in high school and I got so homesick! I chose UNLV so I could come back to my hometown after I had missed it so much.

Find a good balance between social life, work, and academics. You never want to put all your effort in one and neglect the other two!

For several years I lived in the residence halls and even joined Tonopah Leadership Council, the committee for the Tonopah residence building where we planned and organized events! Since my freshman year I've been working on campus for UNLV Dining, so I've become very knowledgeable about the food operations at UNLV and I even work some of the UNLV events at the food stalls!

I am proud to call Las Vegas my home. As a kid, I have always wanted to be Rebel.

Everything will be okay!

Take some time for yourself! You will be studying and working for your classes but don't forget to find time for yourself. Your mental and physical health are very important so try not to push that aside.

I chose UNLV because it is the most diverse university in the United States.

Work hard, keep up with deadlines, but also make sure you give yourself time to have fun and have a balance of school and leisure time.

As an orientation leader, I hope to learn more about UNLV, meet more fellow Rebels, and help incoming students with the college process!

I chose UNLV because while living in Las Vegas for more than half my life, attending UNLV was always such an accomplishment to have in this city. As a first generation student, I really liked the fact that UNLV is the most diverse university in the nation, so I knew there would be plenty of opportunities for me here.

I think something I would have wanted to hear when first starting college is to be patient. I had this idealistic plan in my head as to how college was going to be like, but inevitably plans changed. Expectations don't always come to fruition, and things may take longer as initially planned. If you're patient and open-minded enough, you will make it just fine!

To enhance my college experience, I try my best to break out of my shell and get involved! This past semester, I joined the Mountain Club, an outdoors club where we go hiking, climbing, and biking just to name a few! Don't be afraid to try new things.

I chose it because it was close to home and has great research opportunities.

Time management is everything! Enjoy your time In college get involved and most importantly be a self advocate. You have to advocate for yourself

I try to volunteer as much as possible and I also help run UNLV’s Dance and Twirl club.

I choose UNLV because they are number one in the country for Hospitality Management. If I am going to pay for an education, I wanted to make sure I was going to the best place that could teach me about how to get to where I want to be in the future.

Don't think you have to be perfect, just try to be better than yesterday.

I am the Vice President and the National Communications Coordinator for the Residence Hall Association. I am the Associate Director of Campus Life for CSUN. I am a member of the Black Student Organization and the Women of Color Coalition.

I chose UNLV because of its accessibility, affordability, diversity, quality of education, and the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in my desired field of study.

Communicate, communicate, COMMUNICATE! Your professors, faculty, and fellow classmates are here for YOU. Don't be afraid to reach out when you're struggling, need encouragement, or simply want to share your success!

Aside from being an Orientation Leader, I am a member or ANTS (Alliance of Non-Traditional Students), am currently in a production with NCT (Nevada Conservatory Theatre), and attend the productions led by Second Stage; a student-led theatre organization on campus.

I chose UNLV because it's close to home and offered all the educational opportunities and extracurricular activities that I was looking for in a university.

Learn how to balance all the aspects of your life - especially taking care of your physical and mental health. :)

A way that I'm enhancing my college experience is by getting involved with RSO's. I serve on the board of the Filipinx American Student Association and am involved with other RSO's as a general member. It has made my college experience so much more fun and has allowed me to get involved with opportunities that I would never have been offered if I didn't start with my RSO involvement.

To stay close to friends and family.

You're going to mess up and make mistakes, that's fine. College is about learning from those mistakes.

By making friends, going out, bettering myself. I am in a student org called SNDA!
