University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Kendal

I wish I had known that majority of the people are not only white but white suburbans that don't accept other's that may look or act differently than thin, preppy people.

Jessica

I wish I had known how difficult it would be for me to find storage for my things inbetween semesters because I live on the other side of the country. I also wish I had known just how cold it can get in New Hampshire!

Kelly

More about the programs that are offered and the course requirement processes.

Laura

Money will make or break your time at UNH. There are so many hidden fee's and if you have a "hold" on your account (money that you owe) you can't do anything until you have the hold removed.

Karah

Winters are cold...and kind of dark. I wish I knew that I didn't really want to be an art major...but I figured that one out! Also not to go to school with a boyfriend

Kristen

I wish I had known more about what my major (Family Studies) was going to be like. I thought it was going to be more structured twards early childhood education, but it really centers around teaching students who are under five years old, which isn't really what I want to be doing. I was hoping for something more diverse.

Aubrey

I came to school very open minded. I didn't know what to expect. There's nothing that I know of now that I would have wanted to know then.

Christine

I wish I had known how much of a party school UNH really was. And I wish I had known what a party school really meant. I wish I had come visited before I actually attended. I wish I had understood what there was to do besides partying before attending. I wish I had gotten involved with the sober community before attneding. I wish I had know the academic drive and focus of the school was before I attended because it's not that driven or focused. I don't feel very challenged academically or socially.

Keith

I wish I had known the intensity of the coursework before I came to UNH

John

How much it would end up costing me in the end.
