University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

I am very dissapointed that I can not have pets on campus unless it is a fish.

Being at UNH for only one semester, there hasn't been too many frustrating aspects I have encountered, however a frustration of mine and many others is the clearing of sidewalks and paths during and after snow. None of my friends or myself are wheel chair bound, however, those who are, are having horrible experiences traveling to classes this year. Students offer assistance to those who need it, but many times handicapped students are left to struggle on their own. Just recently UNH and Durham police started a service to help, but paths should be taken care of as well.

I wish there were more small classes. My smallest classes are about 28 students. ( Granted this semester I'm in a lot of basic courses that are required and popular) I also wish sophomores didn't get last pick for classes. As a sophomore most students know what classes they need to get into but because we get last pick we rarely get the classes we want or need.

The most frustreating thing about UNH is that the campus is expanding at such a fast rate. While it is great that UNH is seeming to grow, it makes me uncomfortable that we as a college are taking up so much space and that the goal seems to be to keep developing, developing, developing, new buildings and dorms while there are still buildings that remian in disrepair throughout much of the year.

Students do not take academics seriously enough.

Recntly, I have been looking for off-campus housing in the surrounding area but the apartments are very expensive. Living is particulary expensive if it is walking distance from the campus and the only cheap housing near campus are not quality apartments.

The most frustrating thing at UNH tends to be either the size of the gym or professors that are hard to understand. For a student body the size of UNH's, the gym is fairly small and can get very crowded quite often. Concerning the professor's, there are some that do not speak English as their primary language, and can be hard to understand. They are still very knowledgeable , they can just be hard to understand sometimes.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the size of its campus. With over 15,000 students, UNH is the biggest university in all of New Hampshire. With this said, it is often difficult to get from class to class with only 10 minutes available, especially if they are on opposite sides of campus from one another. Not even mentioning any unforeseen events that may occur, such as a teacher holding you late or meeting up with a friend. The size of the campus can be a monstrous problem that may in turn interfere with ones ability to learn.

That it is so far away from a big city or town with a large cultural agenda.

The most frustrating thing about UNH is that students are on their own for everything. They get very little help of guidence about what they should or need to be doing for their major and future. It is frustrating that no one is their to help guide me in the direction I need to be going to succeed and be able to go further with my major. I hear about research and internships from other students but I am never told when I need to begin these things or even where to start.
