University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

I have participated in the CONNECT program at UNH. I think that is a good program for students who are scared about entering an interracial school. I did it simply to meet new people. I don't think any certain kind of student would feel out of place, I think UNH is very diverse. About 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of students dress up for class, and about 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} wear sweats. A lot of students are financially well-off, and a lot have great scholarships.

I have never experienced any problems at UNH and I don't think that any student would feel out of place here. Most students dress comfortably to class and wear whatever they feel like wearing. No one judges eachother and everyone interacts with who they choose to. I would say that all of the groups of students get along on campus. Most UNH students are from New Hampshire and Massachusetts and some are from New York and New Jersey. I havent notice any financial backgrounds that are prevalent and I haven't really heard any students talk about how much they'll earn one day.

I dont think any student would feel out of place. Alot of people just wear sweatpants to class. Differeny types of students interact. 4 tables=earthy crunchies, sports players, frat/sorority, other. Alot of people I have met are very well off. Students are politically aware, go both ways I guess.

UNH has many groups that make sure everyone here feels welcomed and accepted. There are new student run organizations being developed always! If you can't find somewhere you feel you fit in, then thats just crazy! There are also many different groups of kids; the jocks, the preps, the punks, the geeks, etc. any type you canthinks of we have it and everyone is accepted and is allowed to wear or act however they want.

For the most part students at UNH are predominatly white middle to upper class. I think that each year there is less and less in-state students coming to UNH. Many are from Mass, Jersey, New York, and Vermont. We just recently had the primary so our campus was overloaded by politicians and supporters. For awhile there wasn't a day that would go by that you wouldn't be hounded by supporters from each canidate.

The student body is predominantly white, but there is diversity. There is an organization for everyone, so people can feel comfortable. The MUB has tons of services to make students happy and successful.

there is not a lot of diversity on cmapus, to class I swear sweat pants but eveyrthing is worn, there are students that have a lot of money and who don't i don't think that has a huge impact on how people are treated, a lot of students are very opinionated especially in the greek system

I feel that students dress down for class and just want to be comfortable. I think that most students are from NH and MA and I wish this could change.

The student body is trying harder to get the word out about diversity and acceptance, but there are still a lot of close-minded people around campus. It's hard to accept diversity when you have very little to go as an example. It's also hard to get involved in these groups unless you're a minority in some way. Most people I think feel awkward to join a LGBT group unless they're LGBT, and the same goes for the Black Student Union and other similar groups. Most students on campus seem to be upper middle-class, but there are many exceptions. It varies since it's a public school, but most students don't seem to be struggling for money.

i have not had many interactions with racial, religious, LGBT, socioeconomic groups, although i do have some friends of other race and religion. most students wear jeans or sweat pants to class.. however there are a few who tend to go alll out. i would say most students are eitehr from mass or nh but i do know someone as far as las vegas. and yes, being a senior, students always talk about how much they will earn one day.

Most people I have met have been down to earth.

Most students find their own clique second half of freshman year or beginning of sophomore year. If they dont they usually leave. Most students wear casual clothes to class and bundle up in the winter, its not a fashion show here. Being in the greek system has allowed me to get involved in many things however the notification for those not in the greek system is lacking. Most students are from New England with the occasional student athlete from California and Minnesota.

Since i am in a soroity I spend most of my time with the greek community

Personally i have not encountered many different races, religions, or other groups on campus. That is not to say i dont reach outside myself. I have many friends that fit into all of these different categories but i do not see large groups of them. I think that a student of color might feel out of place here solely because the student body only has 10{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} students of color. The four tables in the dining hall, 1. athletes 2. freshman floor friends 3. the students who go to the library everyday and night 4. the dining hall staff I feel as though more than half of the people i meet are from the boston area. Whether it be from the north or south shore or to the west of boston. I feel as though more people i meet are from this area than even from New Hampshire.

There's a lot less diversity than you would expect at a big school but those who are somewhat of a minority definitely get their voices out there through student organizations. I don't think anyone would really feel out of place here and you see people wearing anything and everything to class- basically all groups are covered (the majority wear sweats tho). Most UNH students are from northern New England, but you can't really group them in one way. Students are VERYY politically active (mostly liberal).

UNH is mostly caucasian students but I haven't seen any racism around campus. I think that the only way that students would feel uncomfortable on campus is if they didn't enjoy mixing their group with different races. Most students on campus either wear preppy clothes, sports attire, or just sweats. Surprisingly, most of the students at UNH are from Massachusetts because the reputation here is so prestigious that it has a lot of out-of-staters. Also, most of the students are pretty wealthy because the east coast is so successful. However, students rarely talk about how much they will earn one day.

Most of the students are similar. Not a ton of diversity.

The great thing about UNH is i dont think anyone could ever feel out of place. Every is very laid back and because it is somewhat of a larger school there is someone for everyone. What people wear to class can vary from sweatpants and a sweatshirt to business casual, its all what you feel comfortable in. The majority of students here are from New England, New Hampshire, Mass and Maine.

UNH has a pretty homogeneous population. The average UNH student can be spotted walking to class in blue jeans, flip-flops, a UNH or Greek letter sweatshirt, iPod earbuds intact with a shoulder-bag to carry books. A great deal of students wear sweatpants and baseball caps to class... if for any reason anyone is dressed up more than this, they are usually stared at and questioned, or are assumed to be giving a presentation in one of their classes. It may actually be physically impossible for girls to wear heels while walking around campus due to the terrain of the rocky trails leading to different buildings. Most students are white.

Like I said we arent very diverse and we dont have major problems with race or religion. We are pretty liberal and open. UNH students are from New England, NY RI NJ. Everyone feels to be on the same level. No one really flaunts money or anything like that.

We're white. yup, white. LGBT is pretty big on campus. so is christians. No one should feel out of place. Well the slutty girls wear short skirts and uggs year round. Everyone else wheres jeans or sweats nothing too fancy. most UNH students are from new england. Not really into polotics except when the canidates come.

DRESS WARM! mini skirts in december don't work in the middle of new hampshire, and invest in some rain boots.

Diversity is really stressed on campus through OMSA and the DSC. Our student body is pretty homogenous overall, but I think the effort they make to educate students about diversity issues is important. Students who care a lot about high fashion or city life would definitely be out of place. The UNH "uniform" is jeans, school or Greek sweatshirts, Uggs, North Face fleeces. Most students are from NH and Mass. Most students are middle class. There's a small group of students that are very politially active, but I'd say the majority is still uninformed/disinterested. I definitely applaud the efforts of the Discovery Series this year by having the theme of Democracy and bringing great speakers to campus. Have presidential candidates visit made a lot more students want to learn more about politics. Occasionally I hear students talk about how much they'll earn one day but these are usually business students.

While there are many different types of personalities at UNH, I feel there could be more racial, religious and cultural diversity.

Sweatshirts and jeans are what most students wear to class.

There is severe lacking in non-minority groups on campus. Students would feel out of place at UNH if they were a nationality outside of caucasion, were LGBT, or of a low sociol-economic status. Most students wear sweatpants, jeans, sweatshits and or T-shirts to class. Different types of students interact but I feel as though there are several groups that don't gravitate outside of their own comfort levels. Frat brothers, Soroity sisters, diligent students, athletic students. Most UNH students are from New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Middle to upper middle class backgrounds are most prevelant. Many students seem to be politically aware. Students seem to be predominantly center.

I have never felt out of place here in my experiences but I cant speak for the whole population here at UNH. The good thing about UNH's size is that chances are there is someone here you will connect with. If the size of the school is overwhelming I definately suggest joining a club that interests you, its great way to meet people.

I havnt had too many interactions with the groups on campus. I dont think that any student would feel out of place here because there is a fairly diverse population. Most students wear jeans and sweatshirts. Different studenst interact pretty often. Most UNH students are from NH, ME, CT, NJ, RI, etc. I feel that middle class students are most prevalent. I think that most students at UNH are Left centered.

Because UNH is in NH, there is not much ethnic diveristy. There are many clubs though for students that have different racial, sexual preferences, or other beliefs to join and find others who share their views. As a lower class student, I have to admit that because of the high cost, UNH does attract many higher class students. It can be hard fitting in when many of your friends do not understand what it is like growing up poor. But one can make the most of it and I believe that anyone can find friends that they can fit in with and trust. The campus is fairly liberal, like most colleges.

If you're white- welcome to UNH. You'll fit right in. If you are of another race, be prepared to feel a little "outnumbered" if you're not used to it. Most students wear Abercrombie, UGGS, Hollister, Coach/Vera Bradley purses/bags, Northface, Polo, etc... Students do interact- on the weekends- but I can honestly say that this college is as cliquey as my high school was. There's the football players- the rest of the athletes- there's the Meathead Greeks- there's the sorority girls- there are the hippies/outdoor club- and then the rest of us. If there were four dining tables- one would be strictly football players- one would be strictly greeks- and the remaining two would be a mix of regular students. Most UNH kids are from MASS/NH/CT/NY. Most are well off. I am considered the "17{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} poorest" demographically- but it doesnt bother me too much- but that's me personally. I like being financially independent and I like knowing I've worked for what I own. A lot of kids have part time jobs- and most people are pretty chill. Financial background is only relevant when it comes to clothing/the car you do or dont drive/and how often and much you drink at the bar. I would say there's a lot of political activity on campus- theres always stuff going on in front of T-Hall. I would say we may lean towards the liberal side- but its really tight. No- no one really talks about how much they'll earn. If they do- they usually sound cocky, arrogant- and disgusting- so I'm usually quick to walk off at that point in the convo.

I dont think any kind of student would feel out of place at the dining hall. Most students wear sweatpants and sweatshirts to early morning classes.

UGGS, puffy jackets, spandex, sweatshirts are the attire 3/4 of the girls on this campus wear to class. Weekend nights are for dressing up. Most boys dress in the preppy, casual look.

The majority of UNH students are white New Hampshire natives. Having said that, there is a good amount of diversity for being in NH; the MUB has flags for every country represented at UNH and I'm always surprised by how many there are.

UNH is hugely diverse. When I walk to class everyday, I usually hear at least one different language being spoken. There are a lot of clubs on campus that include religious groups, LGBT groups, etc. I have not met a person here at school that can't find a niche to chill with. If there were four tables of students in the dining hall and I had to describe them, I couldn't. Usually athletes eat together, but not always. There are a lot of cliques that you wouldn't expect to see. UNH students come from all over- I'm personally representing MA. :) Students come from overseas, too. Financial backgrounds of students are very diverse, too. Some have received a full boat to come, others struggle to pay. However, UNH does give out a lot of money in scholarships. UNH is a primary state, and there are a lot of political science majors here. Almost all of the presidential candidates come through here at least once, so there is a lot of politically active/aware students. That doesn't mean, however, that YOU have to be politically active. You can just as easily avoid those people as join them.
