Student Author OverviewWhat'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.

Local Atmosphere at University of New Hampshire

Durham, NH

Durham is a small town, but everything you need is close by. There are restaurants, stores, and a grocery store right in downtown. There is also campus buses that are free for students which go to some of the neighboring towns and make stops at the mall, and in Portsmouth if you want a night on the town. Everything you need is only a short walk or free bus ride away!

The social aspect of UNH is really good there is always something to do and there are a ridiculous amount of clubs so no matter what you like it's probably there and if it isn't you can start your own club up

Upperclassman Dorming Is Good

The upperclassmen have a few good options to pick from like the woodsides or gables for apartments or the mills and adams tower for a room with at least a private bathroom and a possible room separate from the rest of your roommates
