This student body tries to be very diverse and seems to be very accepting. Students seem to interact well when in classes but then outside of classes all the teams and clubs seem to stay mostly within their own groups. I dont think anyone would feel out of place at UNH. I feel like it is a big enough school that most people would be able to find their own friends and groups have associate with. There are a lot of students that are very politically aware on this campus and they like to all work together around campus. Some people get dressed very nicely for every class as if they were going to a job interview, but most people just wear scrubs or jeans and hoodies because we have what seems like a long and cold and wet winter.

The student body is somewhat diverse. However, there seems to be more white people than any other race. Different types of students interact though. Most UNH students are from the Northeast however there are a lot of students from other parts of the country. There are all types of financial backgrounds from UNH.

hardly and racial diversity at unh but there is a place for almost every person on this campus with a wide variety of activities that cater to those people that might otherwise feel like an outsider if these activities were not around like multi-cultural sororities or spots teams...

Since being involved in the Greek Community I have become more aware of the Student Organizations on campus and how they give a variety of interests to the individuals of the UNH campus.

There is not an extremely diverse student body at UNH to be honest. It seems to me the majority of students are white and from New England. Though I have met a range of people from other places, races, ethnic backgrounds, and sexual orientations. I know there are student groups for all sorts of things for people to be a part of. Dressing up for class is not a main priority. The going trend for the girls seems to be jeans or leggings with some UGG boots, and a t-shirt or sweatshirt. Going out on the weekends is a dressier affair but I wouldn't worry about prep time for class, I rarely put on makeup during the week. I'm sure some people come from money but I don't really see it as an issue, it's hard to flaunt off how rich your parents are when you're living in the same sized dorm room as everyone else, so everyone comes out pretty equally.

The student body is very large here. There are many different groups of people you can choose to become friends with. THere is someone here for everyone at UNH.

The campus isn't very diverse. Though, i don't know if thats a bad thing. There are plenty of groups for different races, religions, LGBT etc. People tend to stick to what they are comfortable with. People of common races or financial backgrounds tend to stick together.

I think that different types of students do interact however UNH isn't a campus that provides a huge range of diversity in terms of groups on campus. I have become more aware of students campaigning etc as I have become more involved and been out on the campus more.

I have not experienced first-hand any sort of interactions with specific groups of students on campus.

I dont have much experience with different groups around campus. Compared to Umass where i attended my first year of college, the racial differences are far less at UNH. I can't say who would feel out of place if I've never been in their position.
I think that many students are more politically aware than myself but I dont usually talk about it with my friends.
