University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

Describe the students at University of New Hampshire-Main Campus.

Nicole

I have participated in the CONNECT program at UNH. I think that is a good program for students who are scared about entering an interracial school. I did it simply to meet new people. I don't think any certain kind of student would feel out of place, I think UNH is very diverse. About 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of students dress up for class, and about 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} wear sweats. A lot of students are financially well-off, and a lot have great scholarships.

I have never experienced any problems at UNH and I don't think that any student would feel out of place here. Most students dress comfortably to class and wear whatever they feel like wearing. No one judges eachother and everyone interacts with who they choose to. I would say that all of the groups of students get along on campus. Most UNH students are from New Hampshire and Massachusetts and some are from New York and New Jersey. I havent notice any financial backgrounds that are prevalent and I haven't really heard any students talk about how much they'll earn one day.

I dont think any student would feel out of place. Alot of people just wear sweatpants to class. Differeny types of students interact. 4 tables=earthy crunchies, sports players, frat/sorority, other. Alot of people I have met are very well off. Students are politically aware, go both ways I guess.

UNH has many groups that make sure everyone here feels welcomed and accepted. There are new student run organizations being developed always! If you can't find somewhere you feel you fit in, then thats just crazy! There are also many different groups of kids; the jocks, the preps, the punks, the geeks, etc. any type you canthinks of we have it and everyone is accepted and is allowed to wear or act however they want.

For the most part students at UNH are predominatly white middle to upper class. I think that each year there is less and less in-state students coming to UNH. Many are from Mass, Jersey, New York, and Vermont. We just recently had the primary so our campus was overloaded by politicians and supporters. For awhile there wasn't a day that would go by that you wouldn't be hounded by supporters from each canidate.

Ashley

The student body is predominantly white, but there is diversity. There is an organization for everyone, so people can feel comfortable. The MUB has tons of services to make students happy and successful.

there is not a lot of diversity on cmapus, to class I swear sweat pants but eveyrthing is worn, there are students that have a lot of money and who don't i don't think that has a huge impact on how people are treated, a lot of students are very opinionated especially in the greek system

I feel that students dress down for class and just want to be comfortable. I think that most students are from NH and MA and I wish this could change.

Laura

The student body is trying harder to get the word out about diversity and acceptance, but there are still a lot of close-minded people around campus. It's hard to accept diversity when you have very little to go as an example. It's also hard to get involved in these groups unless you're a minority in some way. Most people I think feel awkward to join a LGBT group unless they're LGBT, and the same goes for the Black Student Union and other similar groups. Most students on campus seem to be upper middle-class, but there are many exceptions. It varies since it's a public school, but most students don't seem to be struggling for money.
