I live in Vegas. :D
and obviously in your situation lol

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

I used to. Went to CMHS. Moved to FL about 2 years ago.

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

I live in vegas. huge population of immigrants coming from CA and AZ. I actually have some foreign students in some of my college classes. Unfortunately we still don't have in-state tuition for dreamies.

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

No huh Ed, wrong info. You can get in-state at CSN, and after completing your first 2 years you can transfer to UNLV and still get in-state. Plus, if you did well in High School you get the Millennium Scholarship. Harry Reid did amazing things for us in Nevada.

I get in-state tuition, even tho im from CA. but what I meant was for dreamies out of state, the past 5 years, vegas was the biggest growing city in the U.S. so im sure there are a lot of ppl undocumented moving here. Admissons rep at NSC, told me being undocumented, as well as an out of state student, was really hard to get in-state as far as your 1st yr would go. They needed either a w-2, bank statements or show that your depending on your parents by being claimed on the tax form. It basically boiled down to if you can show you are a resident in nevada for atleast 6 mos. (it used to be a year), at least thats what was told to me. and there was never any doubt in my mind, that harry reid does great things for this state.

Yeah I got the millennium scholarship. I'm going to attend CSN to get my associates in economics then transfer to UNLV to get my Bachelors in Economics.

In state tuition is when you pay less from people coming from out of state right?
:confused:

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

Crap. I didn't really understand what you meant to say, but if you meant to say that it's hard to get in-state right away (coming from another state) that's everywhere. You must live at least a year (in most of the states) in order to apply for in-state.

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

Well what i meant to say, is its even harder for dreamies from out of state, to get in-state tuition.

b/c for dreamies who don't have a w-2, bank statement, or some kind of proof of legal residence some might never get in-state. @ CSN they ask for either a w-2, and a gov't issued ID. they wouldn't accept a passport, from a foreign country, they specifically told me, that even though your passport is not expired, it is not a valid form of ID, b/c it doesn't exactly prove you have been living here. NV high school students are perfectly fine, since you have your school IDs and transcripts. now with matricula's i don't know if that would work.

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

At least you can get it! I've been in FL for 2 years and it's impossible to get in-state, even if you graduated from a FL high school.

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

^^^
ya i heard about FL, its real hard to get instate out their.

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

Has anyone been accepted to UNLV graduate college and is paying in-state tuition? I was accepted as a Nevada resident during my undergrad but I don't know if I can be admitted as a Nevada resident for my graduate studies. Right now I'm taking classes as a nondegree-seeking student. Their application form is online and they're requiring legal documents.

Help is appreciated :)

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

whoa, all day Las Vegas. Wish i was there!!!

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

I recently went to see The Hangover and I've been missing Vegas like crazy! I want to go again soon!!

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

you should talk to the admissions dept. or a counselor. i would highly consider telling them about your situation. Every person that i have met at UNLV or CSN has been helpful and nice. i dont know how your experience was though.

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

Thanks, I'll try doing that. :)

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

Hey Guys i'm curently residing here in Vegas and I'm really glad i found people in the same boat no pun intended. but I never thought it was possible to pursue further education with our situation. Any info as to how to go about would be truly helpful.

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

Well if you have a Diploma, it is easy. Just go to CSN, register, talk to a counselor and tell them about your situation. (Don't worry they don't bite, most if not all will be gladly to help you) After all that, if you haven't took any SAT or ACT tests lately I would suggest taking the placement tests so they know in what classes you can strife for. (Well it's basically required lol)

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

Sin City baby! Yea! I don't live in Las Vegas, but I like to visit from time to time. lol

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

well its not required to take it, at least at CSN. you take an english placement and math placement tests. this will allow them to figure out, what level they will place you in. some ppl place lower than college level. so instead of taking the class and wasting 200$. they re-take it in 4 mos. which you are allowed to do, anytime.

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

nevermid .

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

hey bud! from what i hear, if your parents are claiming you in their taxes then you should have been issued an ITIN #. if so, i think that would be sufficient, although dont quote me on it.

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

what school are you going to??

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

He is most likely going to CSN
College of southern Nevada

Re: Anyone living in Vegas?
 

HI! I was wondering anyone who has the millennium scholarship. How much per credit does it pay on CSN? I know it varies.

Edit: Nvm i found out lol
