Kelly

UNH is a beautiful campus. It's the main reason why i fell in love with the school. I think the size it just perfect because it's big enough to not see the same people everyday but its small enough to see familiar faces every where you go. I think the community and atmosphere that the students create here is a very positive and enriching one. I wouldn't change a thing.

Sandra

One thing I'd like to change about UNH is the parking situation. I think that size is just right, not to big and not to small. People who hear that I go to UNH for business know that this is a great school for business. I don't know much about the administration. Yes, there is alot of school pride.

Kirsten

The best thing about UNH is the size. One thing I would change about UNH is the amount of holidays we have, considering we rarely have any, even when there is a blizzard outside. Sometimes when I tell people I got to UNH they act as if they have never heard of it, but most of the time people are glad because they know it's such a great school.I spend most of my time at the Alpha Phi house or at the library. There is always a lot of school pride, no matter where you go. Everywhere I walk I see people sporting UNH gear, and if you go to an athletic event you are bound to find people dressed up and shouting their chants for our teams.

Marisa

I like UNH because all sorts of people come here. It is the perfect size school with a good administration from what I can see. There is alot of school pride when it comes to football and hockey.

Meghan

UNH is a great school in my opinion. I love all of the options and organizations there are to be involved in. There is always something going on either at the MUB or on T-Hall Lawn. So if your not a person who likes to go out and party on the weekends, 9 times out of 10 there is something that they could go to and still experience social aspects without drinking. Even though the school is only 12,000 to 15,000 students, there are always new people to meet and hang out with. The size is fairly good because when walking to class, there could be no one you recognize in ten minutes, but other times you could see 20 people you know. Everyone is very friendly.

Jennifer

The size of UNH is just right. The campus itself is very confined and everything is within walking distance. However, it is not small enough that you know everyone you pass while walking to class. Durham is difinately a college town with an overwhelming amount of school pride. Frequent student complaints here on campus relate to parking situations and ticketing.

Ryan

Everyone at UNH just wants to have fun and have a good time but I think people know how to work hard and do well in school as well.

Bianca

my friends are the best things here its the perfect size it is def a college town most of my time is spent haning with friends or doing work yes there is a lot of school pride

Alex

I like the town of Durham and how it is a college town. It is part of what attracted me to the school. I like how the downtown is mostly for students and its not far to get to places if you need something. On that same note, I like having the opurtunity of the buses if you need to get to the mall, Wal-Mart, or some other place like that.

chelsea

A TON of fun. It has everything you could ever ask for. You could never ever be bored because there is always something going on. The mub has so many great events, there is a club for every kind of sport, you meet so many new people everywhere you go, the whit is really nice, UNH gets a lot of celebrities to visit for us which is awesome, and so much more. The buildings are all nice, and are always renovating and trying to make things better. There are a lot of very good professors, and very few that people tend not to like. The library is beautiful and the town of Durham is a good size for the school. There is a ton of school pride and people are always really impressed when I say that I go here. I am proud to tell people that I go to UNH, and I love telling people about how great it is here.

Jordan

UNH has a beautiful campus for a state school. Although it might be a turn off to some to live in NH, Boston is only a train ride away, the beach is close by and Portsmouth, NH has a lot to offer. I think the campus size is just right because you can always look forward to meeting new people and because it is a larger school there are so many things to get involved with. the school has a lot of spirit when it comes to the hockey games.

Danielle

UNH is a public university with about 15,000 undergraduate students. UNH basically takes up the entire town of Durham with students, faculty, and graduates. My favorite part about UNH besides the social life/night life, would have to be the warm spring days when everyone is outside. I love being on campus on these types of days because everyone is outside playing sports, tanning, blasting music, or just hanging out. Everyone is so exited when the weather gets warm and its a great atmosphere to be in when this time comes.

Kelly

Its a great school overall. Tough to get into on average. Great academics and staff. People and parents are proud to hear about my choice as a UNH student.

Carson

I love the size of UNH, how I am always meeting new people. Also, the choice and variety for classes makes my decision for a major more exact to what I want to do. I do not witness a lot of school pride, I came from a high school that was all about spirit and I feel like UNH is lacking a more spirited atmosphere. I will always remember rushing Alpha Phi, and all the incredible girls I have met through the sorority. I spend most of my time around the house, at work, or downtown.

Brianna

The best thing about UNH is that it is not to big and not to small. It is a very good size so you can find your own group of friends and still meet new people every day/night.

Jillian

The size of the school is perfect, not too large or too small. I Wish there was more UNH pride surrounding all sports and not just hockey. The campus is beautiful and I love how everything is in a close area that you can walk to.

Stephanie

The best thing about UNH is the atmosphere and the campus. At first UNH seems like it is so big but it's really not. It's really well broken down by majors and the size isn't overwhelming at all. Durham is a good college town too because it has a small, nice downtown with plenty of food choices and bars. I would say that the biggest problem at UNH is the parking situation. Especially at the library. You would think that a fairly large state school would have sufficient parking at the library but at UNH it is really scarce.

Abby

This school is a great size, small enough where you know people when you walk around campus but big enough that there are always new people to meet. The location is great also, giving both bar and off-campus housing party scenes. The downfall about UNH is that the regulation of alcohol and social gatherings are so extremely strict that people have a hard time gathering somewhere to spend time.

Carly

I think UNH is just right for the amount of students that attend here. UNH is a gorgeous school filled with brick buildings and green. I spend most of my time on main street. I think the most frequent student complaints is the parking and the size of the gym. The gym is definitely too small for the amount of students. Overall, UNH is a great school and I couldn't imagine my college experience to be anywhere else.

Kate

I love the campus, its pristine and doesn't overwhelm you. If I could change one thing it would be to have a larger gym facility UNH is a large school, but it doesnt feel like a huge state school, UNH can be a very personable experience.
