Kate

UNH gets a bad rap for being a big party school, yet, as a student who enjoys going out on the weekends, I don't even find UNH to be that big of a party school. Typically there is nothing spectacular going on around campus on the weekends. But,for some reason, this stereotype is one that has stuck and because of it, UNH students are often times stereotyped as big partiers.

We are are not a very diverse campus, we tend to party a lot (number 7 party school according to Princeton review).

Jackie

It's a party school.

If you're from New Hampshire, it's seen as kind of a last resort to go to UNH. Lots of frat boys and sorority girls which means lots of drinking. Fair share of hippies.

That we are all jocks or blondes that are obsessed with UNH Hockey and beer.

UNH is a party school

Ainsley

UNH students are alcoholics. All they do is drink and party.

Megan

One of the mail stereotypes about UNH and UNH students is partying. People think that students here at UNH do not care about their classes and would rather go out every night and skip classes in the morning. There are students out there who do to that, but they have no respect from the rest and majority of their peers who DO care.

Quinn

Beer drinkers, partiers, hippies

Amanda

#7 party school says a lot- we are fun, we are wild, and we go out to black out. Most of the girls here wear abercrombie, are a size 2, and drive the cars their daddy's bought... there are 10 gorgeous girls to one average guy. Greek life is huge here... it can be pretty overwhelming to be a freshmen if you dont know what you're getting into. There is very little racial diversity, besides the football team and basketball team- most of whom are usually both busy running their game on the field/court and the freshmen girls . Dont be fooled by the fact this school is in the heart of New Hampshire- because this hippy school has gone completely prep.

Emily

That everyone who goes here parties because we are the top 7th party school in the nation.

Sarah

UNH is a non-diverse campus that is known nationwide for its Whittemore school of business. A large portion of the campus is involved in the Greek system and UNH students aren't afraid to party.

Kristin

That everyone is really preppy and that there's no diversity.

Rachel

UNH is stereotyped as a ridiculous party school.
