Variety and Diversity

I came from a school that didn't have too many social groups and almost no diversity. It is very interesting to attend a bigger school that has people from all over the world and with so many different interests. I see girls with hair dyed every color of the rainbow, guys who are brilliant and sporty, but also enjoy 'geeky' subjects. There are so many different styles around campus! Walking to classes and observing the variety of the people around me is so intersting. And at night the campus becomes alive as girls dress up to go to parties or as girls and guys dress down to go to get a late night snack. There are so many unique groups that I could go on forever describing them.

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.
