Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The campus police don’t seem to bother the students at UNH very much. As long as you are not acting like a fool or putting yourself and others in danger, you’ll be given free reign over your activities on and around campus. Campus police seem to realize that it is a college campus, and they have to pick and choose their battles. Two things that campus police don’t tolerate are drug offenses and underage drinking, especially in the dorms. Some local officers are even infamous for evicting students from the dorms on the first offense—all the more reason to drink intelligently and responsibly.

Residential Life is also very strict when it comes to dorm life, also evicting students for first-time offenses if they are bad enough. Most of the time, though, students are allowed a second chance. There is a mandatory fine for students caught drinking illegally in the dorms. Due to the fact that UNH has been put under the microscope for recent problems including rioting after hockey games and other sporting events, the campus and local police have been much more present during certain high activity weekends. Overall, students at UNH can enjoy their college experiences if they are smart about their actions.

UNH Policies

UNH tries to make sure everyone follows campus rules through the RA's. Some policies are: no underage drinking, no drugs, no providing alcohol to minors, and no visitors for more than 3 nights. These policies are enforced, but I also notice that people get around them with almost no effort. I rarely hear of underage drinking being noticed even though I know it happens in half the dorms. I haven't heard of anyone being caught with drugs yet, and no one notices visitors unless they are complained about. Although, when people are caught breaking the policies I believe that the repercussions are very fair. They take into account if it is the first time a student is caught and usually give them a second chance depending on how server their actions were. For example, when a few students were caught for the first time drinking underage they were punished but they weren't evicted that time. On the other hand they shut down a fraternity after several cases of underage drinking.

Feeling Safe at School Is So Important

The University of New Hampshire has a very strict policy against risky behaviors. The UNH Campus police are there own police department, aside from the Durham Police. This allows for 24/7 surveillance of the campus and keeps everyone feeling safe. The academic strictness is somewhat large. Academic warning is the most common involvement of the university with individual academics.

Severe Punishments and Threats of Punishments

we have 2 police forces at UNH. one is UNH's own force, the other is the town of Durham's force. they are very strict about underage drinking and will sometimes stop you if your holding a can of soda walking down the street on a weekend. You can also get kicked out of housing on your first offense of underage drinking in your dorm, which is something they make sure to drill into your head on day one. Not to mention the legal situation you would be in! All in all, i suggest if you are going to drink do it elsewhere, because the risks are not worth it!
