University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

Before I attended UNH, I would have wanted to know that I didn't need to bring so many useless knickknacks that would end up never being used (eg. a microwave that sat on top of my used refrigerator collecting dust). Also I would have wanted to know that sometimes you won't have the best roommates, but you should make the best out of the situation and not harp on the negatives.

Because I was a transfer student, it is hard to know who to talk to about becomming more involved in the university. The transfer day was also very difficult because i had never been to the UNH campus before and it was apparent that mst of the other students had been. was unsure of where to go at first but luckily i found a friend of mine to help me out. Being a transfer student at any school is hard, so i hadnt expected to know everything once i got to UNH.

It may seem like commuting from home is the best choice financially, but trust me: live on campus. It’s the best way to make the most of all the free resources that are provided to you through paying for your tuition. You’ll get the most for your dollar, as well as getting the most out of the college experience. Never again will you have as many resources available and catered towards you within walking distance, or automatically live in a community of peers who are in the same situation as you and going through the same things.

I wish I knew more about scholarship and volunteer opportunites available to students. Most opportunities are advertised in dining halls, and they are usually geared towards supporting the Greek community or local businesses.

The one thing that I wish I had known before coming to The University of New Hampshire would be the amount of different types of people on campus. I am able to be friends with a lot of different types of people, and I had not known that beforehand, if I had known that beforehand I would've taken a lot less time to choose The University of New Hampshire. Overall I am very into diversity and meeting new people and UNH is definitely the school for that.

I do not know as I am entering my first year at this school.

The campus is very accepting. Don't be afraid to be yourself and open up: you'll find people just like you in no time.

I wish I knew how large the classes were.

Don't be afraid to take your time and explore. I took some classes at the beginning of my college career because I thought that I needed to get them out of the way. In the long run, the track of courses an individual should take changes with the area of study, so some of them I took for no reason other than I thought it was necessary, and then they didn't end up counting. Just take time and explore a little bit!

I wish I had know that campus life is not for me. I should have been a commuter.
