Our school is best known for the tremendous facilities, and the ten different colleges for the majors at our university. I believe our school is also best known for the contributions and additions to the university given by alumni. There is a connection from the day you begin at this university until after you graduate. Another great attribute that this school is known for would be the hockey team we have because of the level of competiveness, and school pride we have at the games is what makes it very well known.

The University of New Hampshire is best known for its beautiful scenery, D1 Hockey and kinestology majors. All around campus, whether it is fall, winter, or spring, the scenery is captivating. The brick buildings around campus give it a unique feel and is very welcoming. When the weather becomes cold and snow begins to fall, the campus lights up and is quite a site to see. For sports, Hockey is huge. The games are intense and are filled with an exciting atomsphere. The student section is alive and entertaining. Lastly, Kinestology is highly known and respected here at UNH.

The first thing most people think of when they hear about The University of New Hampshire is hockey. Our hockey team is one of the best in their division and they are usually nationally ranked. Home hockey games are loud and spirited, the support is really phenomenal. Year after year the skill level displayed by the hockey team hardly wavers. They are a very stable team in terms of success, which kind of speaks for the school itself. While hockey may be big here, the spirit and camaraderie of the students reverberates into everyday life on campus.

I believe my school is best known for its' success in many sports. The hockey team imparticular made the University of New Hampshire very popular as it was in the top five hockey teams of the nation. By having such successful sports it encourages the students of the campus and also outsiders to come and be apart of the experience of athletics. It brings the school together as we support our fellow classmates/friends in their competition.

Their hockey and football teams along with the bsuiness program that we have and the social atmosphere.

Jannelliz

My school is best known for hockey. I'm not much of a hockey fan since I live in an urban area meaning basketball, baseball, football, etc. are bigger, However, when I attended my first University of New Hampshire hockey game I see what all the commotion is about. The game was fun. I loved chanting along to the different creative and funny chants and how much action there was. There wasn't a dull moment. It was also great to see how many people went even alumni or the families from the area.

Joseph

My school is best known for its educational opportunities. Nationally ranked, UNH has some of the best academics compared to all other universities with similar standards. So far, I've recognized these efforts mainly from professors themselves. They seem to take a surprising amount of effort to actually teach and make sure concepts are understood before they move on to something new. Not only that, but they also make themselves available afterhours if any further questions arise. I feel as though these efforts contribute greatly to this university being known for it great academic opportunities for all types of students.

Chelsea

Homecoming will be your best experience of the fall by far. Everyone is so happy and excited to be back at their beloved school, and campus is buzzing with people. The tailgate for the football game is pure craziness, and for those that survive the day. the night ahead has never disappointed. It is amazing to see your friends again that have already graduated and spend time with your favorite people!

While my school is well known for many things, what I know it best for is its education program. It is one of the only schools I have heard of that has a 5-year master's program for teaching. The opportunity UNH gives me to have a higher education than many teachers start out with is one of my biggest reasons for going there. I am excited to gain the extra knowledge UNH offers through its education program.

I think UNH is best known for its school spirit as a whole, and a generally feeling of acceptance. Here there are a thousand different clubs, and extracurricular activities for EVERY category. Here at UNH discrimination is not tolerated, everyone is accepted for who they are and there is a place for every kind of person. That's why its so cool that the campus is so big, there are endless amounts of things to do, clubs to join, events to attend that can make anyone feel apart of something. Theres always something new to try!

There are many farms and local markets in the area, and each year the dining hall holds a harvest dinner highlighting local business. It is important to know your impact on the environment and how you can make a difference.

Stephanie

UNH is best known for it's big school, small town atmosphere. Located in Durham, NH, "Main Street" is exactly as it sounds. It is full of people, shops, and things to do no matter what time of day. If you ask any motor vehicle driver they will tell you that it is the street where stopping at cross-walks is inevitable because groups are always out and about.

I believe that to most people UNH is known for being a party school. However, recently I think this school has come to be known for its school spirit and sense of community. Following a recent assualt of a student on campus on Halloween, I witnessed students rally around one another to try to catch those responsible. That was one of the experiences that made me most proud to attend this school.

Though there is the stereotype of UNH parties, UNH is a great state school that should be best known for its dedicated professors and incredible research opportunities.

Brittney

Its strong focus on academics, especially in the business degree

Natalie

Probably business and engineering....it really has a lot more to offer!

Christina

When thinking of the University of New Hampshire, what comes to mind is partying. UNH students have friends visit expecting to be shown a good time. Greek life at UNH largely impacts the party scene. The fraternities are often a place people go to, whether as a guest or to join, for parties. Although the university is making an attempt to rid UNH of the party school reputation, I feel it has already spent too much time known as that making it difficult to change people's views of it as a "party school".

Ashley

Honestly, most of the students here know UNH for its social life. My freshman year UNH was rated the 7th largest party school by the Princeton Review. However, we also have a lot of school pride and have wonderful athletic programs! Academically, we have the facilities and the staff to become very successful students, it's all a matter of how hard you want to try as a student. I would say that UNH is best known for its opportunities. If there is something you are looking to do, UNH most likely has it!
