University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

Like I said we arent very diverse and we dont have major problems with race or religion. We are pretty liberal and open. UNH students are from New England, NY RI NJ. Everyone feels to be on the same level. No one really flaunts money or anything like that.

We're white. yup, white. LGBT is pretty big on campus. so is christians. No one should feel out of place. Well the slutty girls wear short skirts and uggs year round. Everyone else wheres jeans or sweats nothing too fancy. most UNH students are from new england. Not really into polotics except when the canidates come.

DRESS WARM! mini skirts in december don't work in the middle of new hampshire, and invest in some rain boots.

Diversity is really stressed on campus through OMSA and the DSC. Our student body is pretty homogenous overall, but I think the effort they make to educate students about diversity issues is important. Students who care a lot about high fashion or city life would definitely be out of place. The UNH "uniform" is jeans, school or Greek sweatshirts, Uggs, North Face fleeces. Most students are from NH and Mass. Most students are middle class. There's a small group of students that are very politially active, but I'd say the majority is still uninformed/disinterested. I definitely applaud the efforts of the Discovery Series this year by having the theme of Democracy and bringing great speakers to campus. Have presidential candidates visit made a lot more students want to learn more about politics. Occasionally I hear students talk about how much they'll earn one day but these are usually business students.

While there are many different types of personalities at UNH, I feel there could be more racial, religious and cultural diversity.

Sweatshirts and jeans are what most students wear to class.

There is severe lacking in non-minority groups on campus. Students would feel out of place at UNH if they were a nationality outside of caucasion, were LGBT, or of a low sociol-economic status. Most students wear sweatpants, jeans, sweatshits and or T-shirts to class. Different types of students interact but I feel as though there are several groups that don't gravitate outside of their own comfort levels. Frat brothers, Soroity sisters, diligent students, athletic students. Most UNH students are from New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Middle to upper middle class backgrounds are most prevelant. Many students seem to be politically aware. Students seem to be predominantly center.

I have never felt out of place here in my experiences but I cant speak for the whole population here at UNH. The good thing about UNH's size is that chances are there is someone here you will connect with. If the size of the school is overwhelming I definately suggest joining a club that interests you, its great way to meet people.

I havnt had too many interactions with the groups on campus. I dont think that any student would feel out of place here because there is a fairly diverse population. Most students wear jeans and sweatshirts. Different studenst interact pretty often. Most UNH students are from NH, ME, CT, NJ, RI, etc. I feel that middle class students are most prevalent. I think that most students at UNH are Left centered.

Because UNH is in NH, there is not much ethnic diveristy. There are many clubs though for students that have different racial, sexual preferences, or other beliefs to join and find others who share their views. As a lower class student, I have to admit that because of the high cost, UNH does attract many higher class students. It can be hard fitting in when many of your friends do not understand what it is like growing up poor. But one can make the most of it and I believe that anyone can find friends that they can fit in with and trust. The campus is fairly liberal, like most colleges.
