University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

It is no secret that UNH is not very diverse. Coming from an inner city highschool with a very diverse population it is quite a change. I am not a minority so I cannot say this with certainty, but I do not feel as if UNH would be the most comfortable place for those who are, though there are very many diversity groups on campus. There is definitely a mix of financial backgrounds but a lot more wealthy people than i had expected!

I can't go anywhere without seeing a familiar face. Seeing how this is a University of 12,000 plus, it seems like it's growing smaller by the day.

I feel that overall, UNH is a very homogeneous population. It seems to me that a pretty big majority of this campus are white, middle-class citizens and are probably from New England. I don't feel that different types of students here interact at all. You almost always see the same types of people together and a lot of students feel uncomfortable around groups of students who are different from them.

I don't feel like anyone would be out of place here everyone is very accepting here. The student body is very politcally aware and are mostly left. The only group that I feel has a hard time fitting in here is the greeks for some reason. Greek life has a bad image but I feel most of it is from movies.

Not very racially diverse, mostly white, middle class students from new england or surrounding areas.

I love the atmosphere of the students here. You have the students that get up in the morning and get dressed and ready for the day and others that roll out of bed and wear sweatpants and nobody judges either way. It is however you learn best, whatever makes you most comfortable.

I think that everyone is really tolerant of one another. I find myself smiling at everyone I pass on the sidewalks.

I feel that most students wear what they want to class, and this means sweat pants and sweatshirts alot! Uggs also are a must in the wintery weather.

I think UNH is a very diverse campus and everyone has a place somewhere here. College just as high school has the cliques and the drama. Those two things will always exist. I think here at UNH, there are a lot of students that come from families higher in class, but there are also students who do not.

Being a senior, you really cannot be surprised by anything that goes on at the UNH campus. One thing I love about the student body is that it is a little bit of everything. From personality, to race, to greek or independents, to sports players, to the skaters- there is a wide range of different "groups" that most everyone would fit into. I have been on campuses such as Syracuse, and you are either a greek or an arty type. Here at UNH, its an all around good mix. I think that depending on the type of person you are, there is a "group" on the UNH campus. I do not like to be defined as a "sorority girl," but somehow or another that is where I ended up.
