Reno is a vibrant community that has something to offer everyone.
Channeling the crystal waters of Lake Tahoe, the Truckee River runs leisurely through downtown Reno. Numerous mountain ranges rise ruggedly from the desert basin, providing stunning views and unmatched sunsets. When you breathe the crisp mountain air and smell the hint of sagebrush on the breeze, you'll know you're in Reno.
Discover everything the region has to offer and maybe a bit more. We think you'll come to find the Reno-Tahoe region is a place you'll want to call home.
Far from Vegas, close to home
Reno is packed full of amazing things to do, setting it apart from many other small cities. We've got world renowned chefs, balloon races, rib cookoffs, Hot August Nights, amazing coffee shops, walks along the gorgeous river (and whitewater park) and so much more.
Reno is called The Biggest Little City for a reason. We are a mecca for tech industry and home to many great businesses - but we're small enough to connect on a personal level.
Tahoe is as vibrant as you
With America's most beautiful alpine lake only minutes from campus, our students can enjoy outdoor recreation activities unmatched by any other college or university in the world.
Lake Tahoe is a 45-minute drive from The University, but it feels a world away. The proximity of Lake Tahoe and the High Sierras is just one reason Reno-Tahoe is known as one of the best areas for outdoor sports and recreation. For outdoor activities, you can't beat Lake Tahoe. With snow activities, water sports, hiking, biking, golf, rock climbing, fishing, horseback riding, and so much more, the only limit to what you can do is your imagination.
