University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

My major is small so i have my classes with all the same people and professors. I hate the options for gen eds.

My professors do my know name and I have enjoyed the opportunity to be in smaller classes with the same professors to build relationships. UNH is a pretty big school however it gets smaller with every activity/group you associate with. It's so much easier to make friends, network, and enjoy your time here if you are involved. It also makes it go by very fast.

Most of my classes are large lectures, however all have a lab portion. I do not believe that my professors in large lectures know my name, but am fairly certain that the TA's in my lab sections do, as they spend the most one on one time with students. Depending on the students major or career goals I would say that students here are fairly competetive in looking for internships, and obtaining honor roll status.

My professors know my name in my smaller classes. My favorite class at this point would have to be my American Wilderness class because its laid back and the professor is awesome, its also the most unique. Students here study a lot I always see students putting time in on the books. I'm a part of the WSBE program and while it is difficult, it's good knowing that I will come out with a respectable degree. The program is definitely geared toward getting a job afterwards and making ties with local businesses now.

Class sizes are okay at UNH. I prefer the smaller classes. I have had 4 "Lecture" Classes so far, with an average of 250 students. This is hard for me, because my teacher doesn't always know how hard I try, and I feel like they have too many students to worry about. I feel like it's harder to keep up with when it comes to work. My communication classes are the hardest. My favorite class so far was Technology, Criminology and Society taught by Kevin O'Shea. I am currently still Undeclared, but I am almost positive that I want to Double Major in Justice Studies (and I don't know the other major yet!) and minor in Spanish. I think that UNH is challenging.. which is a good thing I suppose!

When I first began attending UNH I was majoring in business at the Whittemore School of Business. I recently changed over to Communications this semester because even though WSBE is an excellent school I just didn't see myself pursuing a career in this. My favorite class so far has been Interpersonal because I can relate it to every day life and it is very intriging. I am always studying hard for my classes and the library is always packed so I would say most UNH students study a lot also. Professors of the classes I have taken always provide office hours and help students in and out of class. I think UNH's academic requirements are above average and thats what I love about UNH. I love a challenge and I don't think college should be easy.

I dont think that any of my professors know my name, all my classes are large. I like germs, hated intro to humanities. I study the night before a test. I have only had two classes where attendence even mattered, so participiation doesnt really matter, espeically since the teachers dont know who you are. I dont know if therye competitive, im not. My major is psychology but I am going to drop it, none of the courses have inerested my enough to keep it. I dont spend tiem with professors out of class. No opinion on their requirements.

Since I am a pre-med/ biology major a lot of my classes are huge classes, but the smaller classes I have taken the teachers def. make an effot to get to know you. Class participation is very commong, and all teachers make it obvious that they want their students to succeed. If you are paarticulary close with one teacher, they will help you out even if it's not the class they teach.

I'm currently a business student in the Whittemore School of Business with my focus on Accounting and Management. As you get more involved with your major your classes will get smaller and professors will know your name. As far as gen-eds go most are in huge lecture halls and you use clickers to check in for attendence. In the Whittemore School students are very competitive and will challenge you. My biggest complaint is there isn't very much help in the business school with connections to getting internships, you are basically on your own in that department.

lots of course to choose from. Always different options for times and when you would like to take a course. Met some amazing professors who really care about the students. I never felt lost in the classroom. You can make what you want of it. The course business statistics is ridiculously hard, and most students fail it once.
