Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

For most students, UNH was not their first choice. However, many of these same students will tell you that they learned to appreciate UNH and its well-rounded course curriculum, spectacular seasons, local “college town” atmosphere, and myriad of activities for students of all ages. It’s safe to say that UNH is a school that caters to the needs of many different personalities. The campus also encourages students to explore all that they have to offer through many different organizations including the American Students Association, several fraternities and sororities, and the National Society of Minorities in Hospitality. Although the campus has its shortcomings in some areas, the effort of the administration is greatly evident through  renovations of several dormitories and on-campus facilities. This open and accepting environment seems to carry over to the non-student residents of Durham, as well, which is obvious, due to the amount of specials by local businesses geared toward UNH students.

The town of Durham revolves around the students and vice versa. Most students will agree that just about everyone they meet on campus has a great personality and is very good looking. This atmosphere provides a very comforting and
safe campus that genuinely leaves the college experience up to the students.

Diversity at University of New Hampshire

White

There are many kinds of students at UNH, however the population is definitely white. Although that comes from many students being in-state students (most people in NH are white), UNH does a decent job at diversifying accepted students.

Drug Safety at University of New Hampshire

Drinking Is Most Popular

Most students drink, and some student take part in the drug scene. Mostly weed and adderol for "studying". Police seem to be cracking down, or trying to crack down, on the adderol use in the libraries and such. There have been a couple drug busts at frat houses recently for cocaine and such. However, the most noticeable usage is definitely marijuana. I don't see many kids getting caught unless they are stupid about doing it in their dorm rooms. Seems like nobody gets caught in the apartments/off campus housing.

NOT FUN IN RAIN

The transportation system is fast but very annoying.
