University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

I transferred to this school as a sophmore and was not allowed to live in the dorms(although i was given an on-campus apartment). This made meeting people outside of my major more difficult.

The worst thing about the University of New Hampshire is the lack of diversity. The majority of students come from white, middle-class families. Very few minorities can be seen walking around campus. I feel this doesn't provide students with an accurate depiction of the real world. The real world is filled with people of different colors and socio-economic backgrounds. I feel college is the time to be exposed to the differences of society because you need to learn to accept all types of people. and the only way to achieve this, is to be exposed to it.

The school works very much like a business, meaning that a lot of focus is on how much money they can get out of the state or anyone else. This isn't often seen until you get a job and get to know the full-time workers better. Many full-time workers are not given any benefits at all. Faculty get benefits, of course. It's the staff that are intentionally overlooked.

For the amount of money I spend on housing, I really don't think I am getting what I pay for. Though I have to admit that UNH is making improvements on their housing , now offering more options and newer buildings, but still, our dorms could improve much more. A lot of rooms are small and poorly designed, and I think they are over priced.

I think the financial aid that the school provides could be more specific to need based. I feel that although it is a public institution, there should be more money given to students with more need based.

The worst thing is probably the lack of close parking. Also the off-campus housing prices are VERY high.

The worst thing would probably be the excessive partying. Although I am not involved with this part of campus life, many people do get involved and it can ruin their education.

alcohol policies, they do not solve or prevent anything

The police have cracked down on the party scene alot resulting in a lot of arrests for minor problems.

The worst thing about my highschool, in my opinion, would be the class sizes of most gen-eds. I like to meet people in class, but I can only meet kids in my major since the classes are small, but I was to step outside the box and meet knew people, but it's almost impossible out of a class of 300 kids.
