Review of University of New Hampshire at Manchester

from Weare, NH

Describe your college in three sentences.

This is a beautiful school in downtown Manchester. The class size is small and intimate. Because it is a commuter campus I will live at home and save money on room and board.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Check out the school during open house and you can meet your prospective professors. This is what we did (my sister is going here also.) People at the school are knowledgeably and friendly, from the educators and professional staff to the librarian - even the security guards were friendly and helpful,

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

I'll let you know! But the class size is very small so the professors will have more time to spend with their students.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

All of Manchester.......

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There are plenty of clubs and activities at the school, from rock climbing to knitting. Our tour guide started a knitting club. There is a dance studio and rock climbing gym next door. The YMCA is across the street. And then, there is all of Manchester.....

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

When I went with my family to the tour last fall we broke into our majors and had a half hour presentation from a professor in that field. It was awesome and I loved it. I knew then I wanted to be in his class. The classrooms are great. The school is in an old mill that has been beautifully restored. The average class size is small, less than 20 or so students. I can't wait!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The Pandora building - the technical building, is the restored Pandora sweater factory. It is owned by Dean Kamen and UNH rents it. The building is beautifully restored and is completely solar.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Since this is a commuter school obviously you need to live nearby. But if you do, and you want to have great professors in a small class room and save all that money on room and board then check out UNH at Manchester.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are plenty of clubs and activities at the school, from rock climbing to knitting. Our tour guide started a knitting club. There is a dance studio and rock climbing gym next door. The YMCA is across the street. And then, there is all of Manchester.....

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

huh?

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

There are security guards at all entrances. The parking lot is nearby and they will escort you if you run late.
