University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is that the sidewalks and walkways can become really icy and they don't always clear out the ice

In my experience the worst thing about UNH is the adding and dropping classes system. Signing up for classes in the first place is an easy enough task, but it gets really complicated when you decide to add or drop one. The student is required to go to the specific class they want to add and get a signature from the professor; but there's no way to know if the class is full so the student ends up running around to find a class with room that fits into their schedule. That is, if there are any.

UNH is a great school for anyone majoring in Engineering, Business, Nursing, Pre-med, Computer science, etc. However, for students who come to the school Undecided or are majoring in English or one of the soft sciences, it might not be worth it. I will certainly miss UNH, but I have to do what's best for me career-wise, and as an English major looking to make it in the publishing world, UNH did not have much to offer (ex. the campus is in a small town in New Hampshire, so it lacks internship oppurtunites with publishing companies).

Everyone here is very similar. In some ways, this is a good thing because we all can relate to each other. However you don't meet a wide range of people with a wide range of interests.

The lack of available space in the library and the gym during busy hours is a deterent to attend those areas. UNH is a large school with many students in attendance and tere should be better accomadations to students wishing to attend these areas.

The worst thing about my school in my opinion would be the large amounts of people within my classes. I attend a wide variety of lecture classes, and I am used to more one on one learning and smaller class discussions with less people.

There is a lot of separation between the different degree programs within the University. Though this is natural because we are separated because of the directions of our studies I would love to spend more time around people with different degree plans and interests.

UNH is pretty big so it makes it easy to feel lost at times. The best way to feel at home is find clubs and activities that fit your personal interest and life style to find friends that you can really connect with.

I think the worst thing about my school would have to be how loud it gets on the weekends. I know that is not education related but I absolutely hate the weekends for that reason. Most Thursday nights it's hard for me to sleep because everybody is screaming directly outside of my window until three in the morning. I have an important class on Friday's so I tend to appreciate all the sleep I can get. I know loudness on the weekends is expected from a college campus, but it gets old.

The people who think that UNH is only about drinking and frat houses. A lot of UNH is about learning and being social with friends in other ways. If people were to reach out more to their professors they would learn that there are pleanty of opportunities to further your education and knowledge.
