Problem: This is a specialty school with a bare-bones approach to education. NSC has a limited choice of majors: there are not a lot of STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths) majors, and the arts are non-existent save for visual media. NSC is also only a decade old, so no one outside of Clark County will know what you're talking about since you went to an obscure state college. And the fact that it's only 10 or so years old means that there won't be options for extracurriculars or personal enrichment while studying at this campus. There are no gyms, no recreational classes, hardly any interest groups, no sports groups, and absolutely no support for the arts whatsoever. So that means joining an orchestra or a varsity team is out. The few interest groups that are present at NSC struggle to stay alive. I used to be part of the Asian-Pacific Islander Coalition, which was one of the largest and most active groups on campus in terms of community service. Sadly, that group is no more. NSC is looking to fix this problem in the coming years, but it will be a long time until we see the campus becoming more well-rounded. There is also little promotion for their ROTC cross-training partnership with UNLV, so that means a lot of potential military nurses and other health professionals are missing out on a good opportunity to serve our country through this route. ROTC offers scholarships to our students as well, but NSC doesn't even care to promote this correctly. I've been aspiring to join the Air Force sometime now and serve as a medical officer, and I found out too late (around junior year) that NSC does actually have an ROTC program (there was only one other person besides me that knew about it). On the plus side, NSC aids military veterans who are looking to continue their education. The incentives are great and there is good support for them. However, the downside is having to deal with the financial aid office/registrar--this goes for civilians, too. There have been many times when the folks there messed up my credits or payments, and were incompetent at getting things transferred correctly. It seemed that every semester, I was down there, trying to fix these problems. These leaves much to be desired for the student body, which is a bit fractured. Not a lot of school spirit going on, and most treat NSC as just another commuter school. There are a lot of non-traditional students in their 30s and 40s. While the majority are noble folks, there are the few soccer moms who would rather gossip about each other's kids than get actual work done. The 20-somethings that do attend NSC seem to live a pretty transient life on campus due to the commuter status, and connections can be hard to make, although not impossible. Regardless, the professors themselves are mostly good. A few duds here and there, but most of my professors have been nothing short of fantastic. They really care for you to succeed and will go above and beyond to help you reach their goal. They treat their students well, and the small class sizes means more personal time and quality teaching. Overall, the commuter atmosphere and lack of personal enrichment may be detrimental for some, since this is a no-frills school. But for those who have no problem with that, then NSC is a decent school: it is definitely cheaper to attend than UNLV and you get better quality for your money, education-wise.

Problem: It's a ways off the freeway to stop regularly, but we were glad we did. The prices are very reasonable and the portions large for lunch. I had the chicken caesar salad. The strips of chicken were nicely grilled and very thick. Chopped eggs and tomatoes added to the dish. Husband ordered the chicken bruchetta and talked about the blended flavors for hours afterwards. (He is so not a foodie)

Problem: Brought in A tire to get replace; not even to have them put the tire back on the car in at 1:43 right now it's 4:12pm! And they are just now getting us a new tire! Just so we can put the tire back on ourselves! For ONE tire! Come on man... I would give it no starts but yelp won't let me. Maybe we would've been better off taking our ONE tire to discount tires for faster service!

Problem: This was some of the best sushi I have ever had. I had the sushi and sashimi combo and the fish was all very delicious. The california roll had the crab salad instead of just the crab stick, which I love, and the salad has the tasty ginger dressing (yum!) The atmosphere is very cool and trendy, and it is impeccably clean. The hibachi fried rice was very flavorful and not dry at all, perhaps too many bean sprouts. The vegetable tempura was reasonably priced, however, the batter was thicker than what I am used to. There are no specials on Sunday so it was a little expensive, but the quality of the sushi and sashimi has made me a fan!
