University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at University of New Hampshire-Main Campus accurate?

Mary

No, of course, some people are like that, but there are many very intelligent and interesting people here with a wide-range of interests from music to environmental conservation to traveling.

Bridget

UNH is definitely a fun school, however, it's important to say that UNH has so many great things to offer aside from it's social life

Ann

somewhat

Ray

UNH has a lot of activities to offer its not all about partying

Ainsley

Not entirely, some students do drink a lot though.

Megan

NO. Yes there are parties. Yes people go out and get drunk and do really irrisponsible things. But the majority of students either do not go out, or if they do, practice safe drinking habits.

Quinn

Yes. Another stereotype would be backwoods, rural students living in a small college town.

Amanda

Yes to some degree. The number of arrests, drunken injuries, blackout bars, and poor decisions definitely seem to reflect our #7 party status. There are some rich bitches- but if you can learn to look below the surface you will find that most of the girls have beauty AND brains here. The greek system is a little out of control- but it makes you appreciate the nontraditional/nontrendy kids even more. It is sad that there isnt much diversity here- but I think most people expect that when they move to New Hampshire.

Emily

half accurate, half not.

Sarah

I believe they are. While I am not involved in the Greek system, I have numerous friends who are and drinking 3-4 times a week is not even a question.
