University of New Haven is an amazing school to attend. Most, if not all, of the teachers here have experience in the classes they are teaching because they have worked in the field. The experience here is one of a kind.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
One tip I would give to a prospective student is to take elective classes that you are interested in. UNH offers so many different and interesting classes; some of these classes could be related to your major and some not. If you take classes that are interesting to you, you will regret in and potentially waste your money.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
As long as one studies, does the homework and pays attention in class they will do well. A lot of the professors post the PowerPoints online but others do not, so one should make sure they take notes and do not rely on them being posted. Additionally, one may have to read for some of their classes so having the textbook is key.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Some of the dorms are better than others but they are all up to date. There are many different types of room set ups; pod, suite, three to a room and four to a room. Additionally, there are a couple apartment style set ups. UNH also has living-learning communities. This is where everyone on your floor is in the same major as you. This is a nice because it makes it easier to have study buddies. It also provides you with a chance to really get to know some of the students you will have classes with for the next four years or so.
In each dorm room, you get a bed, closet, dresser and desk. You need to bring your own vacuum, microwave and sometimes lamps; all the dorms are different when it comes to lighting. Only a few dorm buildings have stoves and those dorm buildings are mostly for upperclassmen.
The only downfall is there is only so many dorms available however; most upperclassmen have to move off campus.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food at UNH is alright but not the best. UNH has two dining halls and four other areas on campus to eat. Most of the time, the food at the dining halls are cold because it is served buffet style, so in order to get a hot meal one needs to get there as soon as they put out the new food. The food at the other locations are much better; but they take a lot longer to get because they are made right then and there. There is not a lot of variety in food choices; you can get a sandwich, salad, pizza and burgers at pretty much any location on campus.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
UNH hosts a lot of fun activities on campus all the time; contests, competitions, barbeques, drive-in movies, carnivals, flash mobs just to name a few. They have two big concerts on campus a year. UNH also provides a lot of bus trips. For example every year they take kids to the Big E and Six Flags. There are a lot of sporting events to attend. There are rec sports teams for kids who want to play sports but are not on the school team. UNH has an amazing gym with an indoor track as well. The gym also holds classes like yoga, kickboxing, spinning, etc. UNH is also located on the Post Rd so there is a lot of things to do off campus as well; shopping, movies, clubs, etc.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
UNH is defiantly on the expensive side but it is totally worth what you pay. The professors are really what makes the price worth it. There are some professors that are super boring but then there are those professors that are very interesting. The interesting professors are the ones who connect what you are learning to what actually happens out in the field. A lot of these professors tell who about the cases they have been involved in or situations they have been in. It really helps you connect to the lesson.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are over hundred clubs on campus. The great thing is all the clubs are so different; if you are interested in something, UNH more than likely has a club devoted to it and if not you can make it happen.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Greek life is huge at UNH. We do not have Greek housing but that does not matter because all the Greeks are so close.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
UNH has amazing campus safety. We have sworn in police officers that are on duty 24/7. They will do anything and everything to make sure you feel safe on campus. We also have blue phones all throughout campus. These phones are there if you are in a situation and need a police officer, all you have to do is get to the phone, hit the button and an officer will be there within a few seconds. UNH also has security guards on campus.
