About this listen
In the debut episode of College Speaks, UNLV students get real about what college is actually like — beyond the brochures and TikTok highlight reels.
From gap years and changing majors to student loans, financial literacy, confidence, and career uncertainty, this conversation explores whether college is truly “worth it” in 2026. The cast shares honest reflections on navigating adulthood, advisor experiences, pandemic interruptions, pressure to succeed, and the disconnect between students and friends who chose different paths.
You’ll hear perspectives from business majors, aspiring voice actors, broadcasters, and first-generation thinkers wrestling with debt, ambition, and independence. Is college necessary? Is it a business? Does it build confidence? Or are there alternative paths to success?
If you’re a Nevada high school student, a current college student, or someone debating whether higher education is right for you — this episode is for you.
🎓 Real talk. No filters. Just students figuring it out in real time.
