Nevada has a small number of colleges and adult education institutions, only 33 as of 2005, the 11th lowest total of any US state. Nonetheless, nearly 200,000 students attend these schools. People in Nevada don't appear to make much use of dorm rooms. Only 5.4% of students stay in dorms, and this is the lowest percentage of all US states.
Nevada is also one of only six states where less than one in ten of its post-secondary schools require SAT scores for admission. The average SAT score is also the seventh lowest in the country at just over 475. Almost nine out of ten of Nevada's students go to public schools, the seventh highest public enrollment percentage in the country, yet nearly 10% of Nevada's adult students go to for-profit schools (the eighth highest for-profit enrollment in the country). This is a consequence of having nearly no private not-for-profit schools.
The largest college in Nevada is the University of Nevada with more than 44,000 students and locations in Las Vegas and Reno. There is also an unusually large community college, the Community College of Southern Nevada with over 34,000 students. One other college in Nevada also has more than 10,000 students, and that is Truckee Meadows Community College.
