University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

Some professors know my name. My favorite class right now is called Germs, where we learn about the different microbes and germs that live all around us. Students study a lot at UNH and class participation is common. Intellectual conversations outside of class are not rare, you just have to be at the right place for them. The most unique class I've taken is Sign Language. I am in the psychology department, which is my major. I do not spend time with professors outside of class, unless I am going to visit them during their office hours.

Some proffessors know my name others dont. My favorite class was Nutrition and my least was a kin course. Yes some students are competitive.

I have had a lot of experience with the academics here at UNH. I was suspended for a semester and due to poor grades I was home for the fall semester. I think that UNH is serious about academics, however i think that I could have had a little more warning when I spoke with an advisor about my current situation. I think they are fair with suspensions because it really gave me time to think about what I wanted to do in coming back or not. I think that students on academic suspension should be allowed to take classes at home though.

Academics at UNH are very involved. The classes here are mainly large lectures, so there is not many opportunities to get to know a professor on a one to one basis. My classes do not do group activites or projects to get to meet new people and work as a group. Students are competitive with them selves. I think it is most important to please yourself rather then compete with others. UNH's academic requirments are well planned out. The education is based on learning rather then getting a job. You have many opportunities to take classes and electives that interest you and have nothing to do with your major.

I think the business school is very challenging but I will be well prepared for the real world when I graduate.

Classes depend of the professor you have. My favorite class is gymnastics. my least favorite class is english yes students are competitive the most unique class ive taken is team sports. I am a physical education major. The department is awesome always there to help you out.

I don't have a problem with the acedemics on campus. I knew coming in that I would have some large classes and I have not had a problem in any of them so far. Most of my professors have been easy to talk to and I've enjoyed the majority of my classes.

The big lecture halls everyone worries about aren't as bad as people make them out to be. They really don't seem that big, and you'd be shocked to know that many professors in those lectures do actually know your name sometimes. You also have smaller classes that is better for one on one, but your professors in those big classes are always approachable anyway. I have met with different professors and TAs multiple times for help, and they are pleased to do it. I am a medical laboratory science major. I have to take a lot of big lecture science courses. I am guarenteed a job right when I graduate.

One of the reasons I chose to come to UNH was because I was unsure of what I wanted to study and UNH had such a wide variety of majors. I am in the Honors Program which means that I have the option of taking my general education classes in smaller active classes around the sizes of 15 - 25. It is easy to get to know your professors names in these classes but a little harder in some of the larger classes. It all depends on what you make of it, if you are in a class of 250 people it is up to you to decide whether or not you want to get to know your professors.

At UNH class sizes vary. In some classes you are in a lecture hall with 300 other students, but in other classes your in a small class with 10 other students. Normally, the required (GenEd) classes are fairly large and are lecture style classes. As you get older and start to take more classes that are for your major, class sizes start to get smaller.
