University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

Before I attended UNH, I would have wanted to know that I didn't need to bring so many useless knickknacks that would end up never being used (eg. a microwave that sat on top of my used refrigerator collecting dust). Also I would have wanted to know that sometimes you won't have the best roommates, but you should make the best out of the situation and not harp on the negatives.

Because I was a transfer student, it is hard to know who to talk to about becomming more involved in the university. The transfer day was also very difficult because i had never been to the UNH campus before and it was apparent that mst of the other students had been. was unsure of where to go at first but luckily i found a friend of mine to help me out. Being a transfer student at any school is hard, so i hadnt expected to know everything once i got to UNH.

It may seem like commuting from home is the best choice financially, but trust me: live on campus. It’s the best way to make the most of all the free resources that are provided to you through paying for your tuition. You’ll get the most for your dollar, as well as getting the most out of the college experience. Never again will you have as many resources available and catered towards you within walking distance, or automatically live in a community of peers who are in the same situation as you and going through the same things.

I wish I knew more about scholarship and volunteer opportunites available to students. Most opportunities are advertised in dining halls, and they are usually geared towards supporting the Greek community or local businesses.

The one thing that I wish I had known before coming to The University of New Hampshire would be the amount of different types of people on campus. I am able to be friends with a lot of different types of people, and I had not known that beforehand, if I had known that beforehand I would've taken a lot less time to choose The University of New Hampshire. Overall I am very into diversity and meeting new people and UNH is definitely the school for that.

I do not know as I am entering my first year at this school.

The campus is very accepting. Don't be afraid to be yourself and open up: you'll find people just like you in no time.

I wish I knew how large the classes were.

Don't be afraid to take your time and explore. I took some classes at the beginning of my college career because I thought that I needed to get them out of the way. In the long run, the track of courses an individual should take changes with the area of study, so some of them I took for no reason other than I thought it was necessary, and then they didn't end up counting. Just take time and explore a little bit!

I wish I had know that campus life is not for me. I should have been a commuter.

I wish I would've known that the registration process, and when you need assistance for signing up for classes is tedious and the weight is placed on your own shoulders. No one really knows what they're talking about.

How challenging the Business school was going to be for me and how comepetitive yet well run the theatre department is

more about how to apply for scholarships and grants.

I wish I had known about the resources available to me when having difficulty with a subject. The University of New Hampshire provides several free tutoring services and the working staff and UNH faculty are more than willing to assist the students. I was initally hesitant about seeking help and admitting I was struggling, but once I realized others want to help me succeed, I took full advantage of the opportunities.

I wish I had known what major I wanted to pick. I just recently decided I want to be a teacher when I graduate and I have found it's very hard to switch into the education major. However it might have been a lot easier when coming from high school switching in when I had a stronger GPA. Other than that I love everything about the University of New Hampshire.

I wish that I had known more about myself and what I really wanted to do with my career. Entering into a large university, I found myself lost and changed my major many times before finding that I could pursue my interest in art and study painting and drawing. I'm not sure if knowing this I would have gone to that school, and maybe my path wouldn't have taken me in the direction it did. I am currently a Graduate student, planning on becoming an Art educator, which I am very exited about.

This school so far has met all my expectations and even more but if there was one thing I wish I knew was that to study abroad there are many limitations and criteria. Study abroad has been my dream since I've been here and will continue on until I meet these criterias.

It is sometimes difficult to transfer into different colleges within UNH. WSBE and CEPS are the most difficult.

Before going to school, I wished that i knew more information about the rescourses that were available during the school year; disability programs, extra help for chemistry, and extra help for biology that could have helped me academically. Also, i wished i knew more about all the programs and clubs that were offered at the university so i too could join and not only be apart of the program but also meet more people.

How ridiculously expensive it is and how everything costs extra money.
