Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Math  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright I can speak as a commuter student. First, if you're going to commute expect an extra 10-ish minutes on top of your commute to get from your house to your first class. Whether that's walking from A-lot or taking a bus from another parking lot. Second, many/all of the activities are [late] at night (in addition to some/all of the labs for the 400 level classes), which is good for a person staying on campus or 5 minutes away, not so much for a commuter student with an 8am or 9am class. Because of that I don't know how good the parties/activities are. As for academic advisors, I know I have a good one, meaning he knows what I've taken, need to take, along with advice about what to do with switching stuff around the math major (we have options within the major). The gym is small considering the size of UNH. If you do decide to come here and like to work out, work out in the morning when there's less people and less waiting. The house-keeping staff do do a good job of keeping everything clean, so the campus and buildings are clean. Sometimes it seems like they clean too much... As for how hard the classes are, the first two years are a few courses in your major and a lot of general education courses. The gen-ed courses are easy though but that's only if you keep up with the homework and take notes. Campus Maintenance: A-, Extracurricular Activities: D- Have a Question?

If people did their research ahead of time and fully engaged a university they plan to attend then they know what they'd be getting into. I am surprised about people saying there isn't anything to do in town. That might be true if you aren't 21, but you think you'd research that before you decided to attend. There are beach towns such as Portmouth and other towns like Dover which are 10 minutes away with buses that go to them if you need scenery change. The bar scene started to suck when I left. I was in the GREEK SYSTEM AND BY NO MEANS DOES IT DOMINATE CAMPUS LIFE. ONLY 4-6% MAX OUT OF 15,000+ students are in FRATS or SORORITIES. What I find funny is people leaving comments about how UNH sucks so bad, then why did you stay for 4 years and go to frat parties? The campus layout is good and the campus is fun if you get involved. Some of the classes are huge lecture halls. The advising is non existent and the career services department is deplorable. I visited them on several occasions and they just put me in front of a computer to assess my interests and told me to research the binders in their office. The job fairs were small in comparison with the amount of students who attended them. Overall, it's a good school with good sports. I take grad classes at SNHU now and the learning environment and support is 100 times better than UNH. If you can self advocate and like the clubs and variety that UNH has to offer then it's a good choice. The diversity has gotten better since I was there too. It's a school for students more concerned with the college experience than the outcomes. Campus Aesthetics: A, Useful Schoolwork: D- Have a Question?

If you are workign or living off campus, have a family or anything going on outside of the school, you are going to have a less admirable experience. The faculty has their positions based on research. They do very little of it (unfortunately) and I know very few who are published. That said, teaching is rarely their strong point or their primary interest. The alumni association has very few networks and what you do post-graduation will be of your own initiative. Don't expect UNH to remember you once you are gone or contribute to your success. They were there to give you an education and once you're gone, their job is done.

UNH should really have more to offer biology students, especially seeing as how WSBE has a "wine tasting" [read: complete waste of funding] course. The most serious problem, however, is that so much of the faculty relies on research and their teaching comes in a very very distant second to that. Some teachers obviously hate the teaching aspect of being at a university, and others are completely unqualified to teach the given subject. Anatomy I (that does not include any repro) is taught by an oblivious professor who works in the equine department and knows very little past reproductive physio (dr. b). So many of the biochem professors are absorbed in research that they make little time for students that aren't associated with their labs. Yes- overall, I am glad I went to UNH because I left without debt and did get a good foundation to continue on but unless you are looking to continue your education, UNH isn't going to prepare you for a job after college; nor will they help you find it after you graduate! The career advising center won't meet with alumni and the "alumni association" has no input, there is no networking here-- you get the picture.
