University of New Hampshire-Main Campus Top Questions

I think that the most popular organizations are the sports teams. Greek Life is not popular but frat rowe is frequented many weekends for parties. I think that some of the traditions here are pretty cool, but I have not made life long friends nor dated here. I believe that drinking is such a large part of this school becuase its hard to find something else to do.

Popular organizations and clubs on campus are the Greek Life, club teams, and intramureal programs. Athletic events are so much fun, especially football and hockey games. I personally love being a part of the greek system. I would say that the library is packed most nights of the week and weekend, but alot of students like to party and have fun on the weekends as well. On a saturday night you can do many things that dont include drinking which consist of mubb theatre movies, hanging out with friends, and grabbing a bite to eat at any of Durhams fine eaterys.

Being involved in the executive board of Alpha Chi Omega has helped me to expand my boundries and engulf myself in a new experience

I think UNH offers a lot of different entertaining things. I think the best club is Scope who provides us with such awesome concerts like SNOOP-A-LOOP!

A group I'm involved with is Alpha Phi. Joining a greek organization is a great way to meet people and to be more involved on campus. Many of the events, fundraisers, and community service I have been involved in was due to alpha phi. Students in the freshman dorms leave their doors open, but not too much in other dorms. Hockey games and football games are pretty popular althetic events, but that's about it. I met my closest friends through my major and the greek community. If I'm awake at 2am on a Tuesday I am studying. People usually party on Thursdays and Saturdays. Friday nights arent as big for partying but people still go out. To me, fraternities/sororities are important because I am in one. This is where the majority of my friends are so I spend a lot of my time there. Last Friday, I went to my friend's apartment, then to the bar, then to one of the fraternities with my girlfriends to visit our guy friends there. On Saturday, I went to one of my guy friend's house because he was having a party. On sunday, I spent most of the day doing homework in the library.

Greek life is very popular at UNH. I am involved with the Greek Sorority Alpha Phi. In the dorms, students left their doors open at the beginning of the year to make friends. Athletic events are very popular because UNH is very good at sports. I met my closest friends in class and in my sorority. If I'm awake at 2 am on a Tuesday it is because I am studying for an exam. People usually party on Friday and Saturday nights. Fraternities and Sororities are great because it forms a close knit community of students who are always there for eachother and work hard to raise money for charity. Last weekend I hung out in the dorm one night watching a movie with my girlfriends and the next night I went to a Lacrosse house.

Every single day there is some kind of event happening. Whether is a music performance brought by the Entertainment group (SCOPE), or a yoga class being taught by Health Services, you can find something to do. Most events are free for students, if they aren't free, it won't be more than fifteen dollars. There is a great theatre program that puts on shows and recitals, and there are many intramural sports teams offered through Campus Recreation. Every year UNH holds an event called SolarFest. As you can imagine, it is an event run completely off solar power. Students gather on a lawn and enjoy live music and dancing while enjoying the sunshine and the good it brings. Top bands usually perform at SolarFest, and they even allow students bands to join the lineup. UNH also has many chem-free, and alternative events on the weekends. Every semester is an Alcohol Awareness Weekend where many organizations put on events students can attend rather than going out drinking. This year I hosted "Wildcat Idol," a singing competition in which first place wins $200. We had a great turn out, and it was great knowing that those people made the choice to be there and watch. Getting involved is the best way to meet people. I am in several organizations and most of my friends are in those clubs or groups. Being part of a group with people who have similar interests as you makes the social aspect of school much easier for some. The groups do not discriminate against anyone, and there aren't many restrictions for joining (some have application processes).

I think that Greek life is very popular and the main sports teams such as football and hockey. I am involved with a sorority and I think that it is very enjoyable. When I lived in the dorm most of the time people's doors were open. Athletic events are kind of popular, I think football and hockey are the most popular. Most students go to those games but I've never really heard of any other sports games that people really go to. I don't think guest speakers are very popular. I met my closet friends freshman year when I was in the freshman dorms. I also met my best friends when I joined a sorority. If it's 2 am and I am awake I am most likely hanging out with my roommates watching tv or talking. I don't really do many things off campus, I prefer to stay on campus.

I feel as though the greek system is a large group on campus, for I am a part of Alpha Phi. Joinging a sorority is an amaazing experience for I was able to meet a great deal of new people and become more involved than I ever thought I would. There are so many opportunities within leadership experiences that if you want to take advantage of them you are able too. I know that another the sports teams are another huge group here at UNH. Last weekend I went o bowling with my sisters as an event to bond. This sschool is not always about drinking which everyone else i thinking.

Greek Life and Sports. I love being involved with the Greek Community, it makes you more involved with the school and community service and philanthropic events.

when I lived in the dorms most stuents didn't leave their doors opened....I am in a sorority...dating scene here is horrid.....tuesday is bar night at UNH so people are coming home from the bar....fraternities/soroities account account for only 10{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of UNH population...

I am in the sorority Alpha Phi. I also love the athletic events, such as football and hockey games. I have never been to a theater or guest speaker event. I met my closest friends from Alpha Phi.

I'm a member of Chi Omega, a sorority on campus so greek life is very important to me. Prior to joining I did not like UNH at all, I couldn't find my niche....but now I love UNH! People generally go out thurs-sat, maybe taking a night off. For 21+ Tuesdays are also big if you dont have early class on wednesday. On saturday if I don't want to drink, which is often, I like to go out to dinner in Portsmouth, go see a movie, or mayeb just stay in with friends and get ice cream!

Go GREEK!

I am involved in a sorority on campus. I wouldn't necessarily call it a popular organization as most students who aren't involved in the Greek community have a negative stereotype towards it. I met all of my closest friends through this as joining a chapter opens many doors to meet new people.

I am involved in my sorority Alpha Chi Omega. And it is the best thing ever. We do many philanthropies that raise a great deal of money for charities. Many people on campus hate us and we are trying very hard to make that more of a positive image. Hockey is a very important athletic event here and it usually gets sold out. We do unfortunately have too many outside people that come and buy tickets and take up valuable student space but everyone loves going to games.

Greek Life is growing and doing great things for the UNH community.

I am involved in Greek Life at UNH, I am a sister of Chi Omega and no matter what other people say I think that it is a great type of organization to be in. People who are not in one and choose to look negatively on Greek Life, simply do not see or realize that there is a lot more to what we do than what they hear and choose to believe. It is a great way to get involved with the campus, make friends and also learn to balance and organize for your future. We have weekly meetings to attend and functions to go to and put on. It makes for a hectic but fun schedule.

I love the activities that I get to do with the girls in my sorority. It's awesome to get around Durham and do things, and to help other community groups. I also really like the social life that comes attached to being part of the Greek community. For me, this doesnt mean the partying and drinking (which we don't do as much of as people seem to think) but more the moment when you walk into class on the first day and see a friendly face, or a group of people from otehr houses that welcome you to sit with them. It's the same way all across campus -- it's great being part of a huge community and still being about to be individual.

I'm a member of Chi Omega Sorority, and it is awesome! I really wanted to get involved with an organization upon my arrival at college and Chi O really met my standards. I love the amount of time we put into supporting different campus activities and philanthropies, as well as the number of community service we do. I am involved a lot more than I ever would be if i didn't join, and have met some amazing girls!

The most popular organizations here on campus have to be the sports teams and greek. I am currently in the pledging process for Alpha Chi Omega and I love it. Mens football and mens ice hockey games are very popular here on campus. Partying here on campus is definitely a big deal to many students. The social scene is definitely not lacking.

As a freshman, I felt like the party scene was a lot bigger than it is 4 years later. I wish that I took more time to join other organizations such as SCOPE and others during my 4 years at UNH, but joining Alpha Phi allowed me to be involved throughout the campus. I wish that homecoming was a bigger event, and also they still allowed spring weekends. Not only for the partying aspect, but to come together as a campus to just enjoy eachother and the weather. Unversity Days are always fun and I wish it was a possibility to have more every semester. I love how close the university is to the beach, and how it is only a 45minute drive to the city. The train makes communiting to the city easy and safe, and I think it is a huge positive for UNH.

The social life is great. The movies and mall are so close to just go with your friends. They have so many intramural sports to participate in. The gym is open at all times which is so great. The dorms for the most part are really great. Joining a sorority is a really great option too. Relay for Life is a big event on campus which is so fun. The sports teams are very good here, so there is always a game to go too. There are always performances for like 10 bucks that anyone can go to.

The most popular organizations on campus are sports teams and Greek Life. I am involved in the Alpha Phi sorority, which is where I met my closest friends. We have many social gathers, rituals, and community service events that we participate in. Greek life is not a HUGE part of this campus, but being Greek makes you feel like you are in your own little community. People party on the regular, but not nearly as much as previous years. You can participate in many MUB events on the weekend that do not involve drinking.

I'm in Chi Omega and I love every minute of it. I think Greek life is extremely important on campus and helps to provide a lot of events and community service for Durham.

greek life and athletics are popular at UNH. Hockey and football are the best. I've met my friends freshmen year in my dorm, in classes and through my involvment in grreklife and other organizations. at 2 am on a tuesday i am usually back from the bar continuing a game of beer pong and drinking with friends. people party a lot, Thursdays are the best party nights, bars have specails on tuesdays and thursdays. friday and saturdays are also fun people go to parties at fraternities and apartments. its also fun to go to portsmouth and dover.

Since I am in a Greek house I would have to say that Greek Life or sports are the most popular on UNH campus.

Going Greek was probably one of the best choices I could've made coming here to UNH. Alpha Chi Omega has already taught me so much about sisterhood, giving back to the community and friendship that is completely different from my own. No one outside of the Greek system understands why I would go through the 6 week process and pay all that extra money just to be apart of some club. But they will never understand that it's not about the money, it's about the experience I share with amazing girls that I would've never met. These girls will be apart of my life years after college, where as some friends stop talking just after their first year.

I think that their should be more campus activities besides going out all the time on the weekend.

Also I feel that many student ORGs keep this campus alive. There is always something going on on campus. Either it be Snoop Dogg performing, a CAB Carnival, or Euphoria Detetions there is always something go on in the MUB. If not you can catch a movie for 2 dollars, or go an play pool in the wildcat den.

I think that athletics are probably the most popular organizations on campus, tied closely with Greek life. The successes of the football and hockey programs have certainly encouraged the student body to focus greatly on athletics and support the UNH Wildcats.

There is always something going on entertainment wise. There are sports events, CAB events, comedians, concerts, lectures, etc. Greek life makes up about 8{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the campus. There are parties every weekend to go to, Thursday-Sunday. Living in dorms, some people keep their doors open and others don't. It depends what hall you are in. The smaller dorms seem to be more into the open door thing. The only time I go off campus is to go to the mall or out to eat. People go to Portsmouth and Boston sometimes. Most of my friends are people who live on my floor or people I meet at class. Clubs are a great way to meet people too.

The most popular organizations on campus are sororities and fraternities. We also have a number of popular clubs too.

Club teams seem very popular, but sometimes hard to get information for (women's lacrosse). In stoke, no one leaves their door open, and are not considerate of their neighbors; but Stoke is a good place to be, other than noisy neighbors. UNH has a great variety of guest speakers, and many opportunities to see live music, and theatre. People are passionate about their music and theatre. Dating scene is bad, most guys cheat on their girlfriends. Greek life is wonderful and very important. Greeks have many philanthropy events that are fun and rewarding, and greek speakers are always a good time. Fraternities also hold many of the parties. Off campus is too annoying to get to.

Greek Life is pretty popular. Even if someone is not part of one. They attend some philanthropies and attend social parties on the weekend. I feel like boy's room leave their door open more frequently. I think it may be because they care less about what people think of their room. I met my closests friends just by living next door to them, I was lucky enough to click with them really well early on. If I am awake at 2am on a Tuesday I am probably in the lounge with some friends doing hw,but mostly chatting. Or on facebook. Or trying to go to bed. Some weekends I go out with my friends. Other weekends I go home to see my family and boyfriend. And sometimes I stay on campus and just order some food and go to the movies.

Some of the organizations that seem to be growing in popularity is the Greek system. I joined Alpha Chi Omega in the spring of my sophomore year and there was a decent turn out but it did not even compare to the amount of girls that came through this past fall and spring. I am so pleased with how the word has gotten out that being part of Greek Life is an amazing experience. I also think sports are gaining popularity, especially football. It does make me sad, however, that at one of the last games I attended I had to go in and watch the game by myself because all of my friends wanted to stay in the parking lot and tailgate. I am afraid the only reason football has grown in popularity is because people finally realized it is an excuse to get up early and drink outside on a nice day. I met my closest friends through nursing. We all have been going through the same stressors for the past four years and at one point last year it clicked that we all have so much in common. I now live with three other nursing majors and we can relate to each other so well because we understand the importance of studying but also being about to go out and have fun every now and then. If I'm awake at 2am on a Tuesday I'm probably just going to bed from being out at the bar. The other option is that I'm up studying or worried that I'm not going to get any sleep that night because I have to get up at 5am on Wednesday for clinical. People in my major probably party once a week. I feel as though other people try to either go out on Tuesdays and Thursdays or on weekend nights. Last weekend I was working Friday night, Saturday during the day so I went to bed early Saturday night, and then on Sunday I went to the library all day and worked Sunday night.

The sports teams and the GREEK life are big on campus but one is not more popular than another. The different groups and clubs all do anything they want around campus. The students in dorms do leave their dorms because there is not much to do in the dorms and they can get boring. There are a lot of people to meet on campus so the dating scene would be pretty open. People seem to party whenever they want during the week. For most students the party starts on Thursday, but for others a lot of the big parties are on Fridays and smaller parties again on Saturdays. There is a lot of stuff at the MUB that doesnt involve drinking like a minimovie theater and different events. Also there is a mall near by or it can be easy to get to portsmouth or boston or up North if your from maine and want to go home. Last weekend I went to parties on Friday and Saturday nights with my friends.

Greeks are the most popular groups on campus I think. Also I hear a lot of people discuss the outing club. I am involved with the Chi Omega sorority and Greek Intervarsity. Greek Intervarsity is a group on campus that gives students and opportunity to explore the idea of who God is and how he can be involved with a college students life. I think there are alot of students who date on campus. I also think there a lot of students who have long distance relationships too. There are things to do that do not involve drinking such as going to the movies, going home, going bowling. I go to the gym off campus, and work off campus, other than that I stay here all the time.

Students in dorms used to leave their doors open in the beginning of the year and as the year progressed, doors would be closed. I gave myself a year without being in a sorority and made those great friends, and then I decided to join a sorority, I made better friends. Not only do you get to meet great girls in your house, but you also get to expand and meet others in both sororities and frats.

In most dorms, the doors are usually open, cracked, or at least unlocked. The hockey games are really popular and next on the list are the football games. Dating scene is alright, lotta good guys, but there are also a lot of scumbags. I have found that I dont like many of the girls here, but then again, I do have about 20 awesome girl-friends. The ratio is good for guys (60{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} girls, 40{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} guys.) I hope I'm not awake on Tuesday, if I am, I'm probably getting back from a bar.

I am involved with a sorority. Greek life at UNH isabout 8{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} and it was something I as always interested about so I decided to go through recruitment. I fell in love with it and have been involved ever since I went through recruitment. Although Greek life here is not a big porition of the campus, I definately recommend going through recruitment in the fall to get a feel about what Greek life is all about. There are always things to do here on the weekends. There are programs in the MUB for free, $2 movies, and hockey games. my friends and I always have something to do. I mean there are usually parties going on, but there are always other things to do too.

Greek life is pretty popular on campus, but not too large. Its about 12-14{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} and the people within it are really close. Its a nice feeling to be able to go to any class no matter which one and see someone else in letters. People in dorms leave their doors open, depending on which dorm. If im awake at 2am on tuesday, im either coming back from the bars or the library, depending on my workload that week. Every year we have a bunch of different things that go on around campus like homecoming and the parade, and a lot of other greek events like the Alpha Chi Omega's Lonni Stern 5K roadrace, Pike's Dream Girl, Lambda Chi's Teeter Totter, and Kappa Delta's Greek God. Last weekend I went to one of the fraternities, spent some time in off-campus apartments, and then came back to my sorority house. Saturday nights that I don't drink are still fun too, a lot of the time i go out to dinner with friends or to the movies.

I wouldnt say any club/team/or group is the most popular on campus. It depends where on campus you are that people are more outgoing. THe hockey team is obviously very popular, along with the GREEK system which seems to be growing in social and educational groups. Students in the dorms do leave their doors open mostly in the Freshmen dorms at the start of the year. ONce every has made their own friends the doors start to close. The hockey and football games are very popular. People seem to party whenever they want here. Tuesday is the bar night for everyone over 21 or who has a fake. Thursday is the start of the weekend. Friday is usually the really good party night and saturday is more relaxed. Last weekend I went to parties on Friday and Saturday. If it is ever a weekend and u dont want to drink you can go to the mall, or the MUB plays movies, or there is always something else happening at the MUB that is fun. Otherwise you could just hang out with other friends and watch movies or go out to dinner.

Sororities, frats, and sports teams are very popular on campus. I am in a sorority and I love it. Students in the dorms sometimes leave their doors open. Off campus I go to movies and the mall.

GREEK life is my thing at UNH. Love my Greek friends - many people party at the local frats but i recently grew out of that stage in my life. Greek life is pretty big on the campus I feel although it makes UNH seem much smaller, which isn't always a good thing because everyone always knows everyones business. but the philanthropy events in the spring are always a blast. Off campus - favorite things are the Kittery Outlets - great shopping like J Crew and Coach. Portsmouth is also great in the spring and summer for shopping at little boutiques, getting ice cream or watching the boats pass under the bridge. very quaint area, but can get old quickly because it is very small.

UNH offers a lot of activities that reach out to many different kinds of interests the students have. I am involved with Greek life and they have offered us a lot through resources in the MUB and internet. Many of the students I have seen through the Campus Activities board, sports games and different events such as fallfest and the blood drive.

Greek system is very large here, but I did not join until my sophomore year, so I didn't know a lot about it, there are a large amount of people who don't join. I know athletics are a big deal and many people join intra-mural teams for fun. The dorms are pretty friendly, Stoke is a great one if you're very social, I personally do not like the freshman dorms but I hear people raving about all the fun they had and the friends they made. I suggest looking up all the dorms on their websites to get a better feel for how they are. I was in a quieter dorm Randall but I didn't have a problem making friends. Sometimes it's great to just hang out with the kids down the hall and grab a pizza and avoid your homework. I go out on the weekends but I always see great fliers for sober events to do at the MUB.

There are many different ways to get involved here at UNH. THere is something for everyone. I personally chose to join a sorority and it helped me meet a lot of new friends and stay involoved on campus.

I am very involved in my sorority and other Greek events around campus. Intramural sports are offered often and are fun to participate in.

I think that certain athletic events such as the hockey and football games are extremely popular among students and surrounding communities. I am glad I joined a sorority because I have built solid friendships with some of the girls as well as being able to take advantage of opportunities such as planning events for the office of Greek Life as the Coordinator of Greek Life Intern. Sometimes Saturday nights are good for relaxing and watching movies/dinner with friends.
