“Walking to class and realizing you’re literally a shortcut to the Strip, how easy it is to get an internship at a casino or hotel, that the campus can feel spread out and hot in the summer, and that the party‑city vibe can distract from studying, yet the hands‑on opportunities still make it feel like you’re in a place that rewards hustle more than anything else.”
