Well-Rounded Academics

The academics here are very well-rounded meaning they suite many of the needs for students. Usually in the classes for your major are smaller and more personal so teachers can help the students individually. The general education classes are very large, so easier for students to skip and not get noticed. The professors are very passionate about their work. They like to challenge students and get them to think, which i s what I like about it. My old school was not challenging at all. They workload does get intense around finals, but it is helpful for students to learn schedule planning and organization. There are usually reviews for tests, a writing center to help with papers, and tutors for any subject. There are numerous libraries located around campus so everyone can have a quiet place to study.

Tailored to YOU

I am a Mechanical Engineer, The workload is tough when you haven't taken any APs in high school, The professors are very good, they know how to teach. Everyone in class wants to be there and wants to learn. Professors have office hours like most other schools. They make your time very useful when meeting. There are 2 main tracks starting out, one is precalc, chem, micro, and an elective. The one that I took was Physics 1, Calculus 1, Microecon, and Intro to Mechanical Engineering. I passed the math placement test which puts you in the higher track. There is an honors track, If you place out of classes you can also change your schedule around. The curriculum is great because you can take classes that aren't ridiculous and confusing starting out. You have a chance to get your feet on the ground and slowly go into more rigorous classes. If you want to start out with a heavy load then you can do that to. That was one of the main reasons I chose UNH because there Mech. Engineering program was perfect for me. That is one of the most important things when your choosing a school for engineering. My professors also gave me tips about finding jobs and building your resume, The Internships students have told me about are great opportunities to get hired and have great experience with your field, most people I know with internships are at BAE Systems. There are many clubs that create projects or form study/community service groups like SAE Mini Baja, and Society of Women Engineers. There are also Great tutoring services like the Math Center Located in one of the freshman dorms, Study Skills Tutors at Center for Academic Resources, Physics + Chemistry Societies, and plenty more resources.
