UNR Nevada Wolf Pack Scenic Vibrant Diverse Inclusive Public

The University of Nevada Reno is a public research institution offering students a National Tier 1 education at an affordable price, a vibrant campus experience, and access to meaningful research opportunities. Founded in 1874, UNR is home to a wide range of degree programs taught by highly accomplished faculty, including top-rated Engineering, Journalism, and MBA programs. UNR also has competitive sports teams known as the Wolf Pack, which participate in the NCAA Division I Mountain West Conference.

Plenty of apartments, townhomes, and single-family homes available for rent surround UNR. To narrow your options, focus on which part of campus you will be frequenting the most. School of Medicine students and faculty may want to concentrate on rentals near campus’ northeastern side whereas Department of English faculty and students might prefer convenience to the southwestern side of campus. UNR is also accessible to I-80, making longer commutes simple.

Access to over 250 student clubs and Downtown Reno’s many amenities in addition to close proximity to Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park ensure there’s never a dull moment at UNR.
