Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

UNH administration has long been assigned the difficult task of trying to bring diversity to a small campus in the middle of New England. Generally, New Hampshire is not a state that appeals to diverse students. This may never change because many minority students will have to travel great distances to come here, and will, consequently, be far from their own cultures. On the other hand, most of the multicultural students here are actually long-time New Hampshire residents.

For minority students who do come to UNH, the campus tries very hard to make the transition an easy one. There are many student-run organizations, such as OMSA, that help students keep in touch with their culture and meet new people with similar backgrounds. The multicultural themed dorm is one option, but some students feel that these dorms have a tendency to separate minority students, rather than integrate them into the general student population. While it’s true that UNH may never become a poster school for diversity, students and student administration should continue the attempt to diversify the campus by all means.

Diversity?

Lack of it. Mostly white kids in the middle class sections of New Englands. Athletics and exchange programs bring the largest diversity

Diverse Enough

While there is a huge variety of ethnic groups on campus, there is a predominantly white population. It doesn't bother me at all that there aren't other ethnic groups everywhere i go.

Lack, but Promotion of Diversity

At the University of New Hampshire, there is a lack of diversity. This lack of diversity is sometimes a little discouraging, however, as a student at UNH, I know that I will be educated upon every aspect of diversity from color and ethnicity to sexual orientation. UNH strives to promote education by funding one of the largest offices on campus, the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs. Within this office, every diverse group has a say and can feel welcome.
