Durham, NH

     

About This Campus

The University of New Hampshire is the state's flagship public institution--a medium-sized "R1" land-grant university. The Durham campus looks and feels like a quintessential small New England town. Student engagement and ©2024 Â鶹´«Ã½, undergraduate research, and recreational & intercollegiate athletics all play important roles in campus life. UNH Dining has won numerous national awards and offers a wide variety of cuisine for every cultural taste or dietary need. Our Residential Life staff prides itself on our wide variety of small residence halls with strong and active communities, dedicated to sustainability and activism. "Every day is a great day to be a Wildcat!"

Location Information

Durham is a classic New England college town. We have one of the safest and most sustainable Â鶹´«Ã½ in the country, surrounded by incredible scenery. Experience the beauty of all four seasons while walking to class, downtown, or through the trails of the 250-acre College Woods. On weekends, you can hop a bus to the quaint communities of Portsmouth and the Atlantic coast, carpool with friends to the iconic White Mountains, or take the train to Boston (from the station right on campus!).

Helpful Information

Course flexibility is required as no class can be guaranteed. All exchange Â鶹´«Ã½s must have a 2.5 GPA and a declared major at their home campus. Students considering applying to UNH through NSE are strongly encouraged to visit our incoming Â鶹´«Ã½ site, and carefully review the list of course restrictions posted there: https://www.unh.edu/nse/incoming-Â鶹´«Ã½s.
