University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

Like I said we arent very diverse and we dont have major problems with race or religion. We are pretty liberal and open. UNH students are from New England, NY RI NJ. Everyone feels to be on the same level. No one really flaunts money or anything like that.

We're white. yup, white. LGBT is pretty big on campus. so is christians. No one should feel out of place. Well the slutty girls wear short skirts and uggs year round. Everyone else wheres jeans or sweats nothing too fancy. most UNH students are from new england. Not really into polotics except when the canidates come.

DRESS WARM! mini skirts in december don't work in the middle of new hampshire, and invest in some rain boots.

Diversity is really stressed on campus through OMSA and the DSC. Our student body is pretty homogenous overall, but I think the effort they make to educate students about diversity issues is important. Students who care a lot about high fashion or city life would definitely be out of place. The UNH "uniform" is jeans, school or Greek sweatshirts, Uggs, North Face fleeces. Most students are from NH and Mass. Most students are middle class. There's a small group of students that are very politially active, but I'd say the majority is still uninformed/disinterested. I definitely applaud the efforts of the Discovery Series this year by having the theme of Democracy and bringing great speakers to campus. Have presidential candidates visit made a lot more students want to learn more about politics. Occasionally I hear students talk about how much they'll earn one day but these are usually business students.

While there are many different types of personalities at UNH, I feel there could be more racial, religious and cultural diversity.

Sweatshirts and jeans are what most students wear to class.

There is severe lacking in non-minority groups on campus. Students would feel out of place at UNH if they were a nationality outside of caucasion, were LGBT, or of a low sociol-economic status. Most students wear sweatpants, jeans, sweatshits and or T-shirts to class. Different types of students interact but I feel as though there are several groups that don't gravitate outside of their own comfort levels. Frat brothers, Soroity sisters, diligent students, athletic students. Most UNH students are from New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Middle to upper middle class backgrounds are most prevelant. Many students seem to be politically aware. Students seem to be predominantly center.

I have never felt out of place here in my experiences but I cant speak for the whole population here at UNH. The good thing about UNH's size is that chances are there is someone here you will connect with. If the size of the school is overwhelming I definately suggest joining a club that interests you, its great way to meet people.

I havnt had too many interactions with the groups on campus. I dont think that any student would feel out of place here because there is a fairly diverse population. Most students wear jeans and sweatshirts. Different studenst interact pretty often. Most UNH students are from NH, ME, CT, NJ, RI, etc. I feel that middle class students are most prevalent. I think that most students at UNH are Left centered.

Because UNH is in NH, there is not much ethnic diveristy. There are many clubs though for students that have different racial, sexual preferences, or other beliefs to join and find others who share their views. As a lower class student, I have to admit that because of the high cost, UNH does attract many higher class students. It can be hard fitting in when many of your friends do not understand what it is like growing up poor. But one can make the most of it and I believe that anyone can find friends that they can fit in with and trust. The campus is fairly liberal, like most colleges.

If you're white- welcome to UNH. You'll fit right in. If you are of another race, be prepared to feel a little "outnumbered" if you're not used to it. Most students wear Abercrombie, UGGS, Hollister, Coach/Vera Bradley purses/bags, Northface, Polo, etc... Students do interact- on the weekends- but I can honestly say that this college is as cliquey as my high school was. There's the football players- the rest of the athletes- there's the Meathead Greeks- there's the sorority girls- there are the hippies/outdoor club- and then the rest of us. If there were four dining tables- one would be strictly football players- one would be strictly greeks- and the remaining two would be a mix of regular students. Most UNH kids are from MASS/NH/CT/NY. Most are well off. I am considered the "17{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} poorest" demographically- but it doesnt bother me too much- but that's me personally. I like being financially independent and I like knowing I've worked for what I own. A lot of kids have part time jobs- and most people are pretty chill. Financial background is only relevant when it comes to clothing/the car you do or dont drive/and how often and much you drink at the bar. I would say there's a lot of political activity on campus- theres always stuff going on in front of T-Hall. I would say we may lean towards the liberal side- but its really tight. No- no one really talks about how much they'll earn. If they do- they usually sound cocky, arrogant- and disgusting- so I'm usually quick to walk off at that point in the convo.

I dont think any kind of student would feel out of place at the dining hall. Most students wear sweatpants and sweatshirts to early morning classes.

UGGS, puffy jackets, spandex, sweatshirts are the attire 3/4 of the girls on this campus wear to class. Weekend nights are for dressing up. Most boys dress in the preppy, casual look.

The majority of UNH students are white New Hampshire natives. Having said that, there is a good amount of diversity for being in NH; the MUB has flags for every country represented at UNH and I'm always surprised by how many there are.

UNH is hugely diverse. When I walk to class everyday, I usually hear at least one different language being spoken. There are a lot of clubs on campus that include religious groups, LGBT groups, etc. I have not met a person here at school that can't find a niche to chill with. If there were four tables of students in the dining hall and I had to describe them, I couldn't. Usually athletes eat together, but not always. There are a lot of cliques that you wouldn't expect to see. UNH students come from all over- I'm personally representing MA. :) Students come from overseas, too. Financial backgrounds of students are very diverse, too. Some have received a full boat to come, others struggle to pay. However, UNH does give out a lot of money in scholarships. UNH is a primary state, and there are a lot of political science majors here. Almost all of the presidential candidates come through here at least once, so there is a lot of politically active/aware students. That doesn't mean, however, that YOU have to be politically active. You can just as easily avoid those people as join them.
