- Large campus ( Our campus is very big and it is well connected with the campus bus routes.) there are three campuses for UNH, One is In Durham(Main campus), 2nd is in manchester and 3rd one is in Concord Durham campus is the main campus and most of the courses will be offered here except information technology, biotechnology and cybersecurity (These courses will be offered in UNH manchester) and coming to UNH-Concord campus, here they will offer you the LAW courses. Note: These three campuses are far from each other so even UNH won't run any bus routes between three campuses, so if some people who are thinking that we can go from UNH manchester to UNH Durham absolutely no there is no public connectivity you need to figure it out on your own.
- Courses: University offers wide variety of courses with different specialisations, moreover most of the professors offer RA's(In the US, professors are usually involved in a lot of research work, and since they can’t handle everything on their own, they hire students to help out as research assistants. You don’t necessarily need to have all the knowledge beforehand, as long as you’re curious and willing to learn, you can still be a great fit.)if you have any interest in your masters field you can contact professor, if they have any opening position for any research assistantship he will let you know about the procedure of hiring for the position. Most of the professors will have atleast one RA's so my suggestion is to mail professor so you can get a position for RA and here come the fun part if you got selected for RA they will wave off your semester fee or in some cases they will wave off your entire course fee.
- Great community: In one sentence UNH is welcoming community, as i am an international student i was struggled initially with cultural change but later i met great people and they made me feel like I am in my second home ( Note: you can find lot of good communities in university, where I am from india we do have one community called DSA(Desi Students Association) we were part of it and we used to celebrate every festival together in the university and even university is also welcoming for such kind of events.)
Dislikes
- I feel this university is bit expensive depends on your course as I did my masters in business analytics i paid roughly 45000 usd per year, for average middle class indian paying 45000 usd is expensive
- if you are new to US and you don't have friends in US, it is very difficult for you for first time to reach the campus, nearest international airport is boston so from boston to the campus if you book a cab it will costs you more than 100 dollars for one way but you can take bus from airport(C&J bus) then you should get down at portsmouth or Dover( these two places are nearest places where you can find bus terminals from there you have to take a cab. if you follow this procedure you can save 50 dollars) but you can choose one more option our campus has Amtrak connectivity you can take train from boston to UNH directly it might cost you like 25 dollars(I would not recommend for new students).
- Housing: you can find good places near to the campus but you don't have too many options and moreover you won't find too many indians so it is very difficult for you to find a room which is affordable.
Campus Life
-
UNH have 3 campuses
UNH-Durham(Main campus)
UNH-Manchester
UNH-Concord -
I have studies in main campus so we do have everything like library, sports complex, Hospital, Restaurants, Shopping marts everything.
- There will be a event every day and you can't judge weather the event is major or not, each branch will celebrate different events for example international office celebrates atleast 1 event every month and their moto is to international students should not feel alone.
- coming to clubs you can find number of clubs like gaming club, guitar club, asian club, desi club ect.
Accommodation
- I found my accommodation in facebook marketplace but i would suggest to check in websites like Zillow and other property listing sites(if you are single and search for shared room you must check in sulekha.com but if you are group of people and looking for new apartment where you want to live there like 1 year then you must check the facebook marketplace or Zillow)
- My monthly rent was little expensive. It was like 656 dollars per month where my internet, water and sewage bill is included(excluding Electricity).
- Main challenge will be people wont give you lease if you don't have leasing history(people don't know what is leasing history I will explain you simple way as we do have credit score in india and here you will have leasing score on your name, where it will impact the decision weather should they give you approval for lease or not, as we are international students we don't have such score then you will not have more options), My suggestion would be contact with the international office and ask them any leads for nearest properties or property management companies where they are ready to provide you lease without leasing history
- My accommodation is not that far it like 5 min drive from university or 20 min walk.
- most of the indians will prefer staying outside because it is affordable compared to the on campus accommodation
Accommodation
I currently live on campus in a dorm room with one roommate. It's definitely smaller than I am used to, however not too bad at all. Sometimes it's difficult for me to keep a healthy diet because the dining hall food is very good! I overeat often but have been trying to limit myself!
I visited friends at this college during my senior year of high school and fell in love with the campus. The admissions process was fairly simple. I always felt supported and encouraged to apply. I applied to 11 different colleges actually, as I was nervous I would not get accepted into many colleges. I ended up getting accepted to 9 out of 11 colleges but ultimately decided on unh. I felt the program here really supported its students and truly wanted them to succeed and this was massively important to me. I did not feel this at any of the other colleges I was accepted into.
Great Business school for one, but also because of the student body diversity. It was cool to meet so many different and interesting people throughout my time there. It was also close to home, which was a big focal point for me.
