University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

Many of my classes are large lecture halls so it is difficult for professors to know my name. My favorite class is french because I like learning a new language. My least favorite class is anthropology because I find it dry. This campus is full of students cramming themselves in the library because they live in the library all day and night. This makes the students very competitive because the grades are so high here. The most unique class I have ever taken has been Mass Communication because it makes the media a much more deeper topic than the superficial conversation that is out there. My major is Communications and I am currently trying to become a business minor. The major is very difficult to get into because it is so popular and the entry level classes have been a challenge.

I am in WSBE, the business school, which is great and challenging. I think the professor for the most part really care about the school and the students. The best part is having professors bring in outside knowledge, contacts and contribute to student organizations.

In some of your classes professors will know you name, that usually will happen in your junior or senior as your classes begin to get more major specific. Students do a lot of studing here, the library is always jammed. Class participation is common and becomes more common as your class get smaller when they become major specific as said before. The most unique class ive taken is one im taken now, Forensic Psychology, its very different then other classes and very interesting.

I think UNH has a pretty good academic system. There are options between large lecture halls and small discussion groups to cater to whatever may suit your individual preferences. My personal major, English/Journalism, is wonderful; I'm close to my professors and feel comfortable talking with my advisor about my future plans and goals.

Most professors know your names after freshman year. Once you get into more personal classes you know professors more because of smaller classes. Students arent really competitive. Communication major is great accept our secretary isnt the most pleasant person in the world. No i dont no spend time with professors out of class. UNH could be better at gearing students toward getting a job.

In the beginning years I had very large classes and the teachers didn't know my name. Now that I'm in the smaller 20 - people classes I wish the teacher didn't know my name. I rarely study, but that's probably why I don't do so well in classes. My favorite class was making babies...probably the easiest class I have ever taken. My least favorite was probably Humanities 401 love and sex in lituratue, sure it sounds like a blast but really it's the dumbest class you'll find on campus, too much reading of old books and finding sex in them. I'm a math ed major and my dept is pretty small i know the name of most of the people in my major so it's pretty ideal.

favorite class: making babies with karen niland least favorite class: anthropology i've never been to a professor's office hours, academic standards aren't too bad.

I think the professors at UNH are AMAZING. I have heard complaints about a few but my personal experiences have been nothing but positive. They are really passionate about their research and are inspiring to students. There are definitely some students that have intellecutal conversations outside of class but the majority don't engage in this after classes are over. I am Spanih major and I am very satisfied with the department. The only complaint I've heard is that the Granada program isn't very well run, but I am chosing to study abroad through a different program. I am also an International Affairs major and am very pleased so far. I think the education at UNH definitely prepares students for a future career.

Yes, professors know mhy name. My favorite class is a literature class. My least favorite was logic. Students study a high amount. Class participation is decent, but not overwhelming. Yes, many students have intellectual conversations outside of the classroom. Students are not competitive. The most unique class I have ever taken was a class called Arts in Society in which we took field trips to see plays and concerts. The English Department is good, although I only really like a few of the professors. The academic requirements are too rigid. I feel it is sometimes more geared towards a career than education for its own sake.

All of my classes have been larger than 50 students; I do not mind though. My professors have all been incredible.
