University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

Classes are very hard (major depending) Classes are large in capacity. Majors are competitive. Academic Requirements make sense

I know my professors names but it is extremely difficult to get to know a professor on a first name basis. A lot of their office hours collide with my work hours and outside of class they are impossible to get in touch with. Students are not very competitive, but I feel like a lot of the classes are extremely difficult, and students are just trying to pass each class.

I like how the classes are not too big and the professors know you or atleast your name and some things about you.

I like being a senior in my major (occupational therapy) because we all have the same classes and therefore I now know and are friends with most of the people in my major. I also like how we have such close relationships with our professors and call them on a first name basic

I am going to graduate in May with a BS in Business Administration with options in Marketing and Management. I think that the business program at WSBE is set up in a way that allows you to have many options in choosing your major. They do this by having all business students major in business administration and then you can chose options to concentrate in such as marketing, management, finance, accounting, and entrepenurial. Most students choose 2 which means that there are more options out there for you once you graduate. I have also had a pretty good experience with professors at UNH. My favorite class that I have ever taken was Leadership Assesment and Development with Professor Hassey. I really learned a great deal about myself as a leader throughout the semester and it is knowledge that I can definetly take with me and apply in the future. I would have to say that the education at UNH is geared towards learning there really isn't much help or focus on getting a job. I think that job preparation and placement is something that UNH definitely lacks and needs to improve on.

My professors definitely know my name, given the nature of my major, and my class size remains relatively small. This has its positives because we are able to make class more of a discussion based, rather than a lecture session. They are always available outside of class time and are more than willing to cater to the needs you bring to them.

Academics at UNH are challenging yet interesting. There are a lot of different classes to take outside of your own major and I have had some great experiences in several different classes. My favorite class has been Casino Management, and Communication in the Workplace. My least favorite classes were Communication classes in the rhetoric area. Class participation is definitely common, I believe sometimes UNH students have intellectual conversations outside of class and that they are competitive about academics. I have not spent time with professors outside of class, even though I would like to. I believe the education at UNH is geared toward getting a job and learning for its own sake - depending on what class it is, some are geared toward one or the other.

The classes are managable. It varies between who studies and who doesnt. Usually the library is filled each night, but there are definately the people who dont study.

At UNH, you get out what you put in. The professors are not going to hunt you down if you miss class, it's really up to you to do well. Some of the lectures are really large but the professors are usually easy to access through office hours or scheduling an appointment. The smaller classes I've had I have really gotten to know my professors and they take a genuine interest in the students.

as you get deeper into your major i feel like it is easier to get to know your professors. one upsetting factor of the psychology department was that i have had 3 different advisors in 4 years. i wish i had had one that could have helped me make some better decisions academically earlier on in my college career. I don't think UNH or any college for that matter gets us ready for whats to come after graduation. i don't feel like i am ready to be part of the real world by any means. i wish there were classes on how to do simple things like balance check books and how to look at mortgages and things like that. it may seem like we should already know how to do these everyday things, however it would be helpful to get prepared as our college time is coming to an end. I also think there should be classes on preparing students to take tests like the LSATs and the GREs. In high school everything was geared towards helping you succeed on the SAts. There should be some sort of system like that through your major.
