University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Meaghan

The best thing about UNH, is the campus atmopshere. The students and professors made the school so welcoming and make each student feeling as it is there home. At first I was unsure if I would like UNH, but after a short while I felt safe, comfortable and at home in Durham. I think this is all because of the students and atmosphere of the university.

There is always something to do and it is the PERFECT size, 13,000 students. It is 20 minutes from the beach, an hour from the mountains, an hour from Portland and an hour from Boston....great location!

It has a great location, minutes from the beach, the mountains are just north of it, and skiing in the winter is all around you.

Aakriti

The surroundings, the location because it feels like what college is suppose to look like.. its big but not big that you get lost, its a college town but also it has mall, grocery store near by.. you are not secluded but again it feels like the typical college town

Karah

It's hard to explain...but it's perfect. The longer I've been at UNH the more people I've met. It's hard to go anywhere without running into someone. I love it! Food is great, spirit is amazing, transportation super! The only thing I would change would be the out-of-state tuition bill!

Andrea

The best thing about UNH is that everything I ever need is on campus or a short bus ride away.

Emily

The best thing about my school is how safe and how clean the campus and dorms are. I have been to many schools that are filthy and you can't even get around the campus without someone to walk with you. I feel that is not something any wants to deal with.

Amy

I think the size. A big school offers so many opportunities. They are allowing me to go abroad to Australia next semester so easily.

Heidi

When I look around my campus, there is always adventure in store. I know that if I look on a flier somewhere, it will list about ten events that I am interested in going to on or off-campus. I love that there is a mix of athletes, earthy-crunchy people, musicians, artists, and scientists at school and that they can come together, be placed into a dorm together, and love the experience. The diversity of experience and interest is rich at UNH.

daniel

the best thing about it is the social environment. people are willing to socially engage and work together. my friendships from college have been very close and academically engaging. i've had countless discussions about everything from music to philosophy. the campus is also large enough to maintain very large social environment that never feels cramped or limited. there are so many extracurricular activities that there is always something for someone.

Lisa

The best thing about the University of New Hampshire is its location. You have everything you could possible want surrounding you. The ocean is only a fifteen minute drive from campus, or you can be in the mountains after a forty-five minute drive depending on what you are looking for that day. It is located in a beautiful region surrounded by trees and local parks and forests. It is not in a big city by any means, but there is still easy access to Boston and Portland, Maine whenever you want.

Kim

The natural environment

Amy

They best thing is the student involvement. Everyone watches Football and Hockey, we have great concerts and shows such as Dane Cook and Snoop Dogg. There is always something to do whether it be on campus, or head up to Conway for skiing, or over to the beach to swim. Also, Portsmouth is close by and has great shopping and an amazing night life.

Sylvia

The best thing about UNH is probably the atmosphere. For the most part, everyone really does try to get along with everyone else. There's always something to do and you'll always find some really cool people who like what you like.
