Senior: I love the on campus restaurants, bars, and snack shops! The scenery is beautiful all year round and the campus is always beautiful! The theater department hosts a lot of fun shows year round including dances, shows, and concerts which makes it easy to always stay entertained. I have had great encounters with all my professors, Deans, and advisors, who have provided a lot of help through the years. UNH also has alot of class options regardless of your learning style, major, or minor.... Read 2,853 reviews

Junior: Studying at UNH has been a transformative experience for me, both academically and personally. The past few years have been a rollercoaster of emotions, challenges, and growth, and I have learned so much about myself and the world around me. One of the things I liked about UNH is the opportunity to pursue my academic interests and explore new areas of knowledge. I have been able to take courses in diverse fields such as philosophy, psychology, and sociology, and engage in intellectual discussions with my peers and professors. Another aspect of UNH that I enjoyed is the sense of community and belonging. Being part of a diverse campus has allowed me to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures, and make lifelong friendships. I have also been involved in extracurricular activities such as volunteering, clubs, and sports, which have enriched my college experience and helped me develop leadership and teamwork skills....

Sophomore: I transferred to KSC from another NH public college and have enjoyed Keene so much more. The people are so friendly, it's easy to get involved on campus, everyone is extremely welcoming and the community here is incredible. Campus is gorgeous especially in the spring and they just announced a ton of new renovations coming for next fall. The dorms are pretty average but some are really nice (Butler, LLC). I've enjoyed all the classes I've taken and met some great profs. The only bad thing I think is the food but there are options at Lloyd's and the Hoot and Scoot that are better and overall a good variety if you don't like the dining commons food. Come to Keene, you won't regret it!... Read 915 reviews

Junior: What I love is the flexibility of my assignments. I know when homework is due and if I need more time my professors have given me the time I needed. When I started going to school in 2020 at the age of 44, I thought there is no way I can do online learning. I LOVE it! Yes, some classes would have been better in-person but heck the Pandemic took that away as well. lol, Granite State College has made everything easy the environment has been wonderful. I would do it all over again if I had too.... Read 160 reviews

Sophomore: I really love Plymouth State University, it truly is a home away from home! I met many great people and new lifelong friends, especially my amazing roommate! I was initially very nervous about going to a new place, especially a college, but living on campus is a fantastic experience. One I'll truly never forget, there are many great activities to participate in such as the hammocking club. SOAR (outdoor activities), PSU gaming club, intermural sports, Esports, and so much more! Not to mention their fitness facilities are state of the art along with a robotics lab is getting put in! Plymouth State truly is a fantastic place, especially within the Criminal Justice and Forensic. The only thing that would be nice to change is the parking situation since Plymouth is remote, parking is very difficult at times. I feel there should be more parking areas, and Plymouth UPD should be more flexible at times.... Read 943 reviews
