I wish I knew specific details about the programs, organizations, and clubs UNH has to offer. In doing research on the University i read what the UNH had to offer online. Before gaining acceptance I imagined what I would get involved in, the things that make the college experience more fun. I took advantage of the Student Senate, Intervarsity, and the club my friend invented; the wrestling club. As the year progresses I tend to stumble across clubs, programs, and organizations I wished I became involved in at the begining of the year.

I wish I had known that there were so many clubs and organizations to get involved in, and should have signed up for some that interested me right away. I was a little bit shy however, and thought that it would be easier to get involved once I got acclimated to my classes. Looking back I now think it would have been easier to get acclimated if I had joined a group because then I would have made more friends and could balance my schedule the way I needed to!

Get involved as soon as you get here. It's not easy to meet people so make the effort yourself. I also wish I worked to establish good time management when i began college, as it helps with all aspects of student life.

There is nothing I would of liked of known before going to UNH. I enjoy challenges and surprises, and have enjoyed my time so far here.

I wish I had know that practically the entire school is populated by students from New Hampshire. There is little diversity and students from other areas are often stereotyped.

I kind of wish I knew how big the school was before I decided to go there. I knew how many people there were, but I did not know how spread out the campus was. However now it does not seem so big and making the adjustment was not hard.
Nicole
I wish I had been more aware about the surroundings of this university before I came here. I am not satisfied with the location and would have prefered a location in the city.

In all honesty, I wish I had known to break up with my boyfriend before school. Just visiting with him once a week took time away from meeting other people and making new friends. Though that did come in time, the first month or so is crutial to one's social outbound.

Before coming to the University of New Hampshire i wish i had known how unfocused the Administration and professors were. I have a big feeling that the administration and some professors really only look out for their well being rather than the students' well being. We are all driven to buy books that some teachers don't even crack open. That was a bit disheartening; I wish that was different.
