University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

i have not had many interactions with racial, religious, LGBT, socioeconomic groups, although i do have some friends of other race and religion. most students wear jeans or sweat pants to class.. however there are a few who tend to go alll out. i would say most students are eitehr from mass or nh but i do know someone as far as las vegas. and yes, being a senior, students always talk about how much they will earn one day.

Most people I have met have been down to earth.

Most students find their own clique second half of freshman year or beginning of sophomore year. If they dont they usually leave. Most students wear casual clothes to class and bundle up in the winter, its not a fashion show here. Being in the greek system has allowed me to get involved in many things however the notification for those not in the greek system is lacking. Most students are from New England with the occasional student athlete from California and Minnesota.

Since i am in a soroity I spend most of my time with the greek community

Personally i have not encountered many different races, religions, or other groups on campus. That is not to say i dont reach outside myself. I have many friends that fit into all of these different categories but i do not see large groups of them. I think that a student of color might feel out of place here solely because the student body only has 10{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} students of color. The four tables in the dining hall, 1. athletes 2. freshman floor friends 3. the students who go to the library everyday and night 4. the dining hall staff I feel as though more than half of the people i meet are from the boston area. Whether it be from the north or south shore or to the west of boston. I feel as though more people i meet are from this area than even from New Hampshire.

There's a lot less diversity than you would expect at a big school but those who are somewhat of a minority definitely get their voices out there through student organizations. I don't think anyone would really feel out of place here and you see people wearing anything and everything to class- basically all groups are covered (the majority wear sweats tho). Most UNH students are from northern New England, but you can't really group them in one way. Students are VERYY politically active (mostly liberal).

UNH is mostly caucasian students but I haven't seen any racism around campus. I think that the only way that students would feel uncomfortable on campus is if they didn't enjoy mixing their group with different races. Most students on campus either wear preppy clothes, sports attire, or just sweats. Surprisingly, most of the students at UNH are from Massachusetts because the reputation here is so prestigious that it has a lot of out-of-staters. Also, most of the students are pretty wealthy because the east coast is so successful. However, students rarely talk about how much they will earn one day.

Most of the students are similar. Not a ton of diversity.

The great thing about UNH is i dont think anyone could ever feel out of place. Every is very laid back and because it is somewhat of a larger school there is someone for everyone. What people wear to class can vary from sweatpants and a sweatshirt to business casual, its all what you feel comfortable in. The majority of students here are from New England, New Hampshire, Mass and Maine.

UNH has a pretty homogeneous population. The average UNH student can be spotted walking to class in blue jeans, flip-flops, a UNH or Greek letter sweatshirt, iPod earbuds intact with a shoulder-bag to carry books. A great deal of students wear sweatpants and baseball caps to class... if for any reason anyone is dressed up more than this, they are usually stared at and questioned, or are assumed to be giving a presentation in one of their classes. It may actually be physically impossible for girls to wear heels while walking around campus due to the terrain of the rocky trails leading to different buildings. Most students are white.
