What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
It's like looking into a foggy mirror. As I think of myself as a high school senior there was still so much I needed to learn. I was focused on having fun. I was fearful of leaving home. I let my friends make the majority of my decisions. I wasn't ready to handle the so called "real world"; but I needed to step out of my comfort zone. The advice I would give my near adult hood self would be to realize whats truly important in life. Education, family, being self reliant, choosing to be happy despite our circumstances, those are the things that would matter in the end. I had this false conception that I had to fill my life with things and people who made my life enjoyable for a matter of a few hours. When in reality I was just digging myself into a deep whole of unaccomplished dreams. I would tell myself to not be fearful of change because its shapes us into a contributing member of society. To go out and work hard and one day you will accomplish all you've dreamed.

What is your overall opinion of this school?
Going to UNH I thought it would be too close to home and too large or a campus. The 45minute drive back to Goffstown, NH is just far enough that I can go home whenever I want. As soon as I joined Alpha Phi, the campus went from too big, to almost too small. Joining the Greek community was the best decision I ever made as a freshman. I did not want to do it at all, but I tried it out and am happy I did. The Greek community is a family away from family and I have never doubted my decision since the day I got my Bid into Alpha Phi. The only thing I hate about the UNH campus is the limited parking and amount of tickets my dear friend, Ed the Officer, gives out on a daily basis. I also absolutely hate the size of the gymnasium at the Whitt. It is far too small for the massive amounts of students that are enrolled. Other than those two things, the UNH campus itself is beautiful and the newer academic buildings are incredible. It is close enough to the city, ski mountains, and only 20mins from the beach.

What are the academics like at your school?
As a freshman and sophomore, I always enjoyed the big lecture halls because I had a fear that the professor would pick on me if the classes were smaller. As I found my niche as a recreation management and policy student, the class size decreasing only helped my academics. I hated taking my general education classes, but once I got into the swing of things within my major, I began to thoroughly enjoy my studies.

What are the most popular student activities/groups?
As a freshman, I felt like the party scene was a lot bigger than it is 4 years later. I wish that I took more time to join other organizations such as SCOPE and others during my 4 years at UNH, but joining Alpha Phi allowed me to be involved throughout the campus. I wish that homecoming was a bigger event, and also they still allowed spring weekends. Not only for the partying aspect, but to come together as a campus to just enjoy eachother and the weather. Unversity Days are always fun and I wish it was a possibility to have more every semester. I love how close the university is to the beach, and how it is only a 45minute drive to the city. The train makes communiting to the city easy and safe, and I think it is a huge positive for UNH.

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
The worst thing I consider about my school is that its spoken and written devotion to diversity at the university does not match its actions. Although there are groups centered on issues and learning about diversity, they are all student run. They are typically run by students that fall into the diverse category of that group. I feel that this puts pressure on those students to automatically become activists and fight for themselves, not because they necessarily wanted to, but because the people that gave their word about “promoting diversity” are not following up.

What's unique about your campus?
The best thing about the University of New Hampshire is its location. You have everything you could possible want surrounding you. The ocean is only a fifteen minute drive from campus, or you can be in the mountains after a forty-five minute drive depending on what you are looking for that day. It is located in a beautiful region surrounded by trees and local parks and forests. It is not in a big city by any means, but there is still easy access to Boston and Portland, Maine whenever you want.

What kind of person should not attend this school?
People who are NOT looking for the ideal college experience shouldn't attend this school. This school, to me, is the painted picture of college. Also, while there are plenty of other things to do on campus, people who do not party should not live on campus. It seems that even in the "clean" dorms, you are faced with alcohol and intoxicated students.

What kind of person should attend this school?
UNH is a great school for a somewhat intelligent, but average person. It is easy to blend in the crowd there, and it's not too hard to find a party. This is exactly why more unique, eccentric individuals should come here and liven the place up!
