There’s something for every type of person, so it’s almost impossible to not find happiness. There’s no doubt about it, The University of New Hampshire is amazing – and here’s 20 reasons why.
You get to live your life long High School Musical Dream. Everyone watched High School Musical growing up and wanted to be a Wildcat since day one. Choosing UNH is the best choice because you get to find out what it truly means to be a Wildcat.
Whether you want a day trip to Boston on Amtrak for $12, or want to hop on Wildcat Transit and be in Portsmouth in 20 minutes, there are endless travel opportunities being at UNH.
At UNH there around 15,000 students enrolled, which allows you to have the experience of big lecture halls but also a classroom of 30 people and know everyone’s name. You can walk from class to class and know people and say hi, or you can walk around a see strangers.
Going to rival D1 hockey games may be the most exciting time at UNH. Seeing the student section filled from bottom to top and overflowing into the other sections is what every Wildcat lives for.
UNH is ranked #22 out of 1,384 colleges in America! Whether its Burrito Night, Sushi Night, or the specialty dinners for the holidays, the dining halls never cease to impress me with the food.
The best thing about UNH is you get the close campus feel with the old brick buildings and your ideal vision of college you see in a movie. There’s also the little downtown with the bars, shops and restaurants if you don’t feel like eating the dining hall food every night.
While partying isn’t for everyone, there’s a place for everyone at UNH and that’s what makes it so amazing.
At UNH you can have a lecture hall with 200 students or a class of 30 and know everyone’s name. No matter what there are great professors that care about you, your education and the section they are teaching. You can never be disappointed with the professors at UNH.
As a freshman going into college is scary, you never know where anything is and you’re afraid if you will ever find “your people.” At UNH I have heard nothing but great stories of the freshman dorms and how close everyone is. It’s great to have a family your freshman year and to be able to live so close to them is even better.
Walking to class is a part of college, something I never really took into account but what is great about UNH is that your farthest walk to a class may be 15 minutes. You may think that is long but you’re gonna need to walk off that Ben and Jerry’s the night before.
Working while at school is important because you will eventually be spending more money than you could possibly be making. UNH is great with giving work studies and lots of places downtown are always hiring.
Recently celebrating 150 years UNH still keeps its traditions alive such as the “Throwing of the fish.” This tradition has been around since the seventies and still gets the crowd screaming at the sight of fish being thrown onto the ice at hockey games.
Whether it’s at a sporting event, assembly or just walking down the street you can always feel the school spirit walking around campus at UNH. Simply because everyday is a great day to be a wildcat!
No matter what your interests are there is something for you at UNH. That’s what makes it so great there’s a variety of clubs and sports to get involved with at UNH.
The great thing about being in New Hampshire is being able to ski and being so close to the mountains. At UNH what makes it so great is that we have shuttles and clubs that take kids to the mountains for the weekend!
Everyone is so involved at UNH the alumni are always around with the different colleges contributing of making the future graduates of UNH that much better.
One of the most important part of college is getting through your first few years and then picking a focus and working towards an internship. At UNH there have been students interning at NESN in Boston and many other locations for students with all areas of focus. What is so great about UNH and the process of internships is they make it so easy, through Hood House and other advisors they are guaranteed to help you find something perfect for you.
At UNH the their are all different degree programs called “colleges”, such as COLA, Paul College, COLSA. These programs are all great and provide wonderful experiences for the students in the programs.
The sunsets at UNH are something you can’t miss out on. The colorful sky with the sun setting right behind T-Hall is simply beautiful and one of the reasons UNH is the best.
From the old brick building, T-Hall and the decorations down town, The University of New Hampshire is the most beautiful campus on Earth!
