There's something for everyone here with 3 main campuses across the valley. It's the largest college/university in NV. Dedicated teachers & students FIRST!

Great school to start your college journey and awesome professors.
Overall 4.9
It's a nice campus to get adjusted to how a college and its courses work (it's cheaper than taking core classes at UNLV/UNR/NSC, too). If you strive to enroll in courses with good teachers (with + reviews), you'll enjoy your stay here. They have a small gym for students & lots of food options in all of their campuses. I loved being a part of CSN.
Overall 4.8
An amazing school to attend, especially if you are new to college and are struggling to find a major. The Henderson location makes me feel safe and the staff are really nice.
Overall 4.8
This is a school for humans to achieve and to especially be more human. This is not a place for the priviledged and pampered. This school prepares people to be contributors and have a happier life.
Bad reviews
Overall 1
No, the negative reviews are NOT from students who are lazy. The negative reviews are because of how poorly managed this school is. Even students with perfect academic stats, who work hard as much as they can, have had bad experiences with faculty and professors.

This school makes Springfield (Simpsons) Community College. No, that wasn't a complement.
Overall 1.2
If you are in high school at the moment and plan to stay in Las Vegas, use this opportunity to apply for universities and skip this utterly, UTTERLY awful school. The academic advisors are no help, their hours at their cafeterias are a joke (and expensive for mediocre food), and the teachers are apathetic. Do NOT go to this garbage school.
Overall 1.3
CSN’s nursing program is horrendous! Majority of the instructors don’t know how to properly teach, nor do they know how to communicate clearly to the students. The program as whole is a disorganized mess.
Overall 1.4
Teachers are literally not helpful at all
Overall 1.6
The main focus is adding new students. No focus on student enrichment, success after graduation, customer service, or even proper ADA services etc. The staff is unprofessional, offer no help, give condescending directives, and treat us like high schoolers. Also, the locations seem to only follow certain communities. No REAL sustainability efforts.
Overall 1.7
CSN is not the end all be all of community colleges. Yet when you go on any of the campuses students and professors alike will tell you another story. Its community college for a reason, and unfortunately most that go here don't realize that once they get their certificate or degree its over. There is no academic encouragement from CSN whatsoever!
Overall 1.8
Your better of going to a trade school than this joke of a campus
Overall 1.8
There are a handful of Professors that are good at this school. Most teachers are part-time and are turned over rapidly. The teachers do not care about the students as much as they care about the politics involved with the school. Racism is rampant and no one does a thing to help students in need. Unfortunate for a school receiving federal funds
Overall 1.9
where do i begin when talking about my experience at CSN. i started the college with hopes of getting my degree in the 2 years they promised.. 5 years later this school has me questioning my confidence as a student and as a person. I have been put through hell and back by this school. Save your mental health, time, and energy and go to UNLV.
