University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

UNH is a typical New England college, which means that there are mostly all white students here. There are also a number of different races and religions though.

There is not enough diversity at all. The only diversity is in the athletic teams, which is pathetic. Not only does UNH lack diversity in the racial aspect, but everyone looks as though they came from a middle to upper class perfect family with a white picket fence, two car garage, with three kids, and a dog; from a suburb. Most students are from Mass or New Hampshire, coming from New York is hard. Because everyone is from Mass and New Hampshire, they're all Red Sox fans, and they generally are mean to NY sports team fans. Students either go to class in A&F looking apparel, or pajamas/UNH wear. Many students are politically active, and I have encountered a wide range of democrats, republicans, and confused people like me.

The student body I feel has a fair amount of diversity. Definitely in the aspect of race but I do not know how much each student varies socially. Most students wear sweatspants to class, especially to the earlier classes. But there are students who do get ready and are put together

I do not feel I am exposed to a very diverse population at UNH but, again, as a nursing major I am basically only exposed to the people in my own senior class. This class includes only three males and about 73 females. Most of the time students wear jeans and sweatshirts to class. Most of the people in the our class have gotten relatively close over the past couple of years, nursing seems to have helped us bond. I feel as though I am unable to describe four tables in the dining hall because it feels as though it has been so long since I have interacted with people other than those in my major.

I feel like the students here are very open minded and excepting but there is not the biggest amount of diversity. I dont think many people would feel out of place. There are a bunch of different groups and clubs where you could meet people that have the same interests as someone new. Different types of students do interact especially in classes but mostly stay with their friends during free time. Most UNH students seem to be from somewhere in New England. Some students are politically aware and some are not involved at all.

I think that UNH is not a very diverse school, but I do not think someone would feel out of place here. Most students wear sweats, or jeans to class. Most students I have met are from the East Coast and mainly New England. I think that a lot of students I have met are politically aware and active. People voice their opinion, as I have seen rally's etc.

There are so many different kinds of students at UNH that no one would feel out of place.

I dont think any student would feel out of place here. There is such a diversity of people on campus. I mean sure, there are minorities, and the population is mostly white, but there is someone from every background here. That's why I love it. Most people are from middle class here. Politically speaking, I think the UNH population is more towards the left than the right.

Honestly, the student body here is not very diverse. The majority of the student population is white. However, there is a great effort on campus to promote diversity among the students. Most of the students at UNH are either from New New Hampshire or Massachusetts. I am from New Jersey, so I am kind of the outkast.

One thing about UNH is that its not especially racially diverse. Because most of its students come from within New Hampshire, and New Hampshire is not a very diverse state anyway. But mostly different types of students interact well with each other.
