University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

The worst thing about the University of New Hampshire is that it is a party school. On the weekends this is not a big deal, but when people are out partying on a Thursday night they are loud, even though some other people still have classes on Friday, early classes. It is hard to sleep when people are outside your window yelling and talking.

The worst thing about school is the number of rainy days that occur. This may sound trivial but if you as a freshman come to school without rainboots be prepared for some very soggy socks. While winters are very cold, UNH keeps the dorms very warm and cozy. At the beginning of the year many students go out on the weekends, it becomes more of a pain once the cold weather, mainly snow, and rain hit campus. This does not stop the adamant partiers although the outfits tend to change ever so slightly to contain uggs and slightly warmer coats.

I think the worst thing about UNH is that it is definitely a party school. There really aren't many things to do on a Friday or Saturday night besides partying and drinking. There is always going to be a percentage of the student body that prefers to drink and party on the weekends, but I feel that a lot of students that go out on weekends to party do it out of boredom.

There are no rubrics. I don't know exactly what I'm being graded on and how.

It can be really cold outside which deters people from socializing outside and meeting others during the winter.

The worst thing about the University of New Hampshire is their choices to give the campus a snow day or not. We had one day where the entire state of New Hampshire was closed down, yet UNH remained open and classes were still held. A few years ago, a professor was struck and killed by a car walking to their classes in a brutal snowstorm. You'd think that would be a wake up call for UNH and be more aware of their students' and faculty's safety and well being.

The worst thing about my school is that the size of student body can sometimes make you feel like a statistic. It can be difficult to make a relationship with the admistration. Many of the classes are very large. I have found it possible to go for a semester and never really have a relationship with the teachers. That being said if you are willing to put the effort into becoming acquainted with your teachers can be a rewarding experience.

I love my school and am confident in my college choice, however the only complaint I do have is the lack of personal attention from teachers and advisors. I wish my advisors and teachers had more time to talk with my one on one.

Parking! There is no where to park on campus without getting a ticket and winter parking ban makes it a lot worse! Also that the incidence of campus violence has gone up considerably this year during the weekends. The first two years I was at school I rearly heard of anyone getting beat up and this year it seems after every weekend someone else got beat up and hurt and the cops seem to worry more about drinking than keeping the kids save.

The worst thing about my school is the police because I believe that they spend much of their time looking to give parking tickets to people instead of watching out for the security of students.
