University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

UNH is a typical New England college, which means that there are mostly all white students here. There are also a number of different races and religions though.

There is not enough diversity at all. The only diversity is in the athletic teams, which is pathetic. Not only does UNH lack diversity in the racial aspect, but everyone looks as though they came from a middle to upper class perfect family with a white picket fence, two car garage, with three kids, and a dog; from a suburb. Most students are from Mass or New Hampshire, coming from New York is hard. Because everyone is from Mass and New Hampshire, they're all Red Sox fans, and they generally are mean to NY sports team fans. Students either go to class in A&F looking apparel, or pajamas/UNH wear. Many students are politically active, and I have encountered a wide range of democrats, republicans, and confused people like me.

The student body I feel has a fair amount of diversity. Definitely in the aspect of race but I do not know how much each student varies socially. Most students wear sweatspants to class, especially to the earlier classes. But there are students who do get ready and are put together

I do not feel I am exposed to a very diverse population at UNH but, again, as a nursing major I am basically only exposed to the people in my own senior class. This class includes only three males and about 73 females. Most of the time students wear jeans and sweatshirts to class. Most of the people in the our class have gotten relatively close over the past couple of years, nursing seems to have helped us bond. I feel as though I am unable to describe four tables in the dining hall because it feels as though it has been so long since I have interacted with people other than those in my major.

I feel like the students here are very open minded and excepting but there is not the biggest amount of diversity. I dont think many people would feel out of place. There are a bunch of different groups and clubs where you could meet people that have the same interests as someone new. Different types of students do interact especially in classes but mostly stay with their friends during free time. Most UNH students seem to be from somewhere in New England. Some students are politically aware and some are not involved at all.

I think that UNH is not a very diverse school, but I do not think someone would feel out of place here. Most students wear sweats, or jeans to class. Most students I have met are from the East Coast and mainly New England. I think that a lot of students I have met are politically aware and active. People voice their opinion, as I have seen rally's etc.

There are so many different kinds of students at UNH that no one would feel out of place.

I dont think any student would feel out of place here. There is such a diversity of people on campus. I mean sure, there are minorities, and the population is mostly white, but there is someone from every background here. That's why I love it. Most people are from middle class here. Politically speaking, I think the UNH population is more towards the left than the right.

Honestly, the student body here is not very diverse. The majority of the student population is white. However, there is a great effort on campus to promote diversity among the students. Most of the students at UNH are either from New New Hampshire or Massachusetts. I am from New Jersey, so I am kind of the outkast.

One thing about UNH is that its not especially racially diverse. Because most of its students come from within New Hampshire, and New Hampshire is not a very diverse state anyway. But mostly different types of students interact well with each other.

This student body tries to be very diverse and seems to be very accepting. Students seem to interact well when in classes but then outside of classes all the teams and clubs seem to stay mostly within their own groups. I dont think anyone would feel out of place at UNH. I feel like it is a big enough school that most people would be able to find their own friends and groups have associate with. There are a lot of students that are very politically aware on this campus and they like to all work together around campus. Some people get dressed very nicely for every class as if they were going to a job interview, but most people just wear scrubs or jeans and hoodies because we have what seems like a long and cold and wet winter.

The student body is somewhat diverse. However, there seems to be more white people than any other race. Different types of students interact though. Most UNH students are from the Northeast however there are a lot of students from other parts of the country. There are all types of financial backgrounds from UNH.

hardly and racial diversity at unh but there is a place for almost every person on this campus with a wide variety of activities that cater to those people that might otherwise feel like an outsider if these activities were not around like multi-cultural sororities or spots teams...

Since being involved in the Greek Community I have become more aware of the Student Organizations on campus and how they give a variety of interests to the individuals of the UNH campus.

There is not an extremely diverse student body at UNH to be honest. It seems to me the majority of students are white and from New England. Though I have met a range of people from other places, races, ethnic backgrounds, and sexual orientations. I know there are student groups for all sorts of things for people to be a part of. Dressing up for class is not a main priority. The going trend for the girls seems to be jeans or leggings with some UGG boots, and a t-shirt or sweatshirt. Going out on the weekends is a dressier affair but I wouldn't worry about prep time for class, I rarely put on makeup during the week. I'm sure some people come from money but I don't really see it as an issue, it's hard to flaunt off how rich your parents are when you're living in the same sized dorm room as everyone else, so everyone comes out pretty equally.

The student body is very large here. There are many different groups of people you can choose to become friends with. THere is someone here for everyone at UNH.

The campus isn't very diverse. Though, i don't know if thats a bad thing. There are plenty of groups for different races, religions, LGBT etc. People tend to stick to what they are comfortable with. People of common races or financial backgrounds tend to stick together.

I think that different types of students do interact however UNH isn't a campus that provides a huge range of diversity in terms of groups on campus. I have become more aware of students campaigning etc as I have become more involved and been out on the campus more.

I have not experienced first-hand any sort of interactions with specific groups of students on campus.

I dont have much experience with different groups around campus. Compared to Umass where i attended my first year of college, the racial differences are far less at UNH. I can't say who would feel out of place if I've never been in their position. I think that many students are more politically aware than myself but I dont usually talk about it with my friends.
