I really like the atmosphere here. People cherish your ideas, respect your ideas, and really encourage you to realize your ideas. If you’ve got an idea and it’s practical, you can always find a way to realize it.


What are your professors like?
The professors are very accessible. You can go to their office and talk to them. They’re friendly, they’re helpful, and they give you very sincere suggestions.
What’s something you really enjoy about UNH?
The professors and everyone else are really focused on sustainability. It’s in every detail of the university, including its energy supply, the courses. Sustainability is really one of UNH’s shining characteristics. It’s an advantage of UNH.
What would you say to an incoming international student?
Finding your own cultural organization on campus is a good way to start, especially if you still feel like you have a language barrier. But don’t just stay with that group forever. Always have an open mind. Always find a different group, an interesting culture.
