University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is that the sidewalks and walkways can become really icy and they don't always clear out the ice

In my experience the worst thing about UNH is the adding and dropping classes system. Signing up for classes in the first place is an easy enough task, but it gets really complicated when you decide to add or drop one. The student is required to go to the specific class they want to add and get a signature from the professor; but there's no way to know if the class is full so the student ends up running around to find a class with room that fits into their schedule. That is, if there are any.

UNH is a great school for anyone majoring in Engineering, Business, Nursing, Pre-med, Computer science, etc. However, for students who come to the school Undecided or are majoring in English or one of the soft sciences, it might not be worth it. I will certainly miss UNH, but I have to do what's best for me career-wise, and as an English major looking to make it in the publishing world, UNH did not have much to offer (ex. the campus is in a small town in New Hampshire, so it lacks internship oppurtunites with publishing companies).

Everyone here is very similar. In some ways, this is a good thing because we all can relate to each other. However you don't meet a wide range of people with a wide range of interests.

The lack of available space in the library and the gym during busy hours is a deterent to attend those areas. UNH is a large school with many students in attendance and tere should be better accomadations to students wishing to attend these areas.

The worst thing about my school in my opinion would be the large amounts of people within my classes. I attend a wide variety of lecture classes, and I am used to more one on one learning and smaller class discussions with less people.

There is a lot of separation between the different degree programs within the University. Though this is natural because we are separated because of the directions of our studies I would love to spend more time around people with different degree plans and interests.

UNH is pretty big so it makes it easy to feel lost at times. The best way to feel at home is find clubs and activities that fit your personal interest and life style to find friends that you can really connect with.

I think the worst thing about my school would have to be how loud it gets on the weekends. I know that is not education related but I absolutely hate the weekends for that reason. Most Thursday nights it's hard for me to sleep because everybody is screaming directly outside of my window until three in the morning. I have an important class on Friday's so I tend to appreciate all the sleep I can get. I know loudness on the weekends is expected from a college campus, but it gets old.

The people who think that UNH is only about drinking and frat houses. A lot of UNH is about learning and being social with friends in other ways. If people were to reach out more to their professors they would learn that there are pleanty of opportunities to further your education and knowledge.

The acohol abuse. There is way too much drinking on this campus and there seems to be a lot of abuse, violence, and sexual things going on as a derivative from it.

The cost of tuition for out-of-state students is very high.

The worst thing I consider about my school is that its spoken and written devotion to diversity at the university does not match its actions. Although there are groups centered on issues and learning about diversity, they are all student run. They are typically run by students that fall into the diverse category of that group. I feel that this puts pressure on those students to automatically become activists and fight for themselves, not because they necessarily wanted to, but because the people that gave their word about “promoting diversity” are not following up.

The best part about being at the University of New Hampshire is that there is always something to do and an assortment of things to pick from. There are always activities, plays and sporting events going on almost every weekend. Being a Division One sports contender mean there is going to be a good game. No matter what time of year it is you can always join a club or intermural sports team to stay involved.

The worst thing about the University of New Hampshire is most likely the billing system it is over complicated and constantly loses track of payments

The worst thing about the University of New Hampshire is the some what poor costumer service that one experiences during a visit at the Buisness office. They aren't always polite and you will find staff members talking about a student that they just had dealings with while you are recieving services.

The worst thing about my school is that the downtown does not have enough diverse venues. It consists mostly of "fast food" restaurants and a couple bars. A decent coffee shop and a few upscale restaurants would be nice.

the worst thing about my school is that everything is far away and the only way to get there on time is to catch a bus (if it comes on time) or walk. There is not too many things that are not good about my college.

I wish the school was a little more competitive. I felt like I was overly prepared compared to my colleagues.

The professors' abilities to teach effectively. They have the knowledge just have difficulty sharing it.
