University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

The campus is filled with different people. This is a great opportunity to meet all different types of people.

I feel the student body is not very diverse, with not a variety of ethnicity, race, and religion. Students dress to class ranging from preppy and stylish to laid back/"hippie." These two different stereotype separate students and the way they interact. Most students come from the New England Area, many from massachusetts and New Hampshire.

I think its a pretty diverse group of people at UNH because it is so big. I think theres a group for everyone, so it works out really well.

i feel like everyone is in place at UNH. the student body is very diverse and includes almost every group you can think of, eventhough some groups are smaller than others. most students wear jeans, flip-flops (or uggs) and a shirt/sweatshirt, sweatpants are also common attires, though some students will dress up a little more. most stuents are from the new england area.

There is not a lot of racial diversity on campus. There are defiantly lots of different economic classes. I really do not think that any student would feel out of place here. There is a niche for everyone. Most UNH students are from MA or NH.

The thing that I love most about UNH is how diverse the student body is. No one singles anyone out, everyone fits in somewhere and no one judges any other student. Everyone is very laid back and relaxed, we all wear sweatpants and sweatshirts and no one cares. I see all different types of students hanging out together that wouldn't seem normal in high school.

I wish that the UNH student body was more diverse. I also wish that they had more campus activities to do.

Politically students are not all that involved. It may seem like they are but it the small college democrats have a loud voice. Like their party the College Republicans tend to be more reserved. I get invited to many many democratic events from anti-republican events, rally s, etc from the college democrats. And nothing from the college republicans. Maybe it is because republicans are less outspoken, or there are just less here on this campus. It is college and colleges are known to be liberal.

I feel that the student body lacks in diversity severely. This is starting to change, however, with the improvement of athletics in respect to other universities. Diversity is an important factor in the student body because it encourages students to interact with people that they may not have in their hometown or high school, gaining for themselves a certain kind of social knowledge that can only be learned through experience.

UNH is not very diverse. Almost all of the students are white. Whoever isn't might feel out of place. Most people are nice here so it shouldn't be a big issue. Being one of the most expensive public schools, I would assume the majority of the student body has to be in the middle class or upper class. Students are mostly from the New Hampshire and the near by states...Vermont, Conn., Mass., NY, NJ, Maine, etc. I think most people here are more democratic and liberal.
