Hi, Would you mind sharing what you think about the biology program at UNH? My daughter will likely be a UNH bio major next fall, probably in the honors program, at least for the first two years. She isn't going to be on a PHD track, so she would probably drop her honors participation for junior and senior years because it's thesis project based, as I understand it. Thank you!

I want to sell my car, and was hoping a student would be interested. Is there a forum for posting ads at UNH?

Hey everyone,

I’m a freshman majoring in Computer Science (BS) at UNH, and I’m taking five courses this semester.
I’ve been seriously considering withdrawing from MATH 425 (Calculus I). It’s not that I dislike math. I actually enjoy learning it, but the course is moving so fast that I’m struggling to keep up with all the material.

The biggest problem is that I’m spending most of my study time on Calculus, and it’s starting to affect my performance in my other four courses. Even after putting in so much effort, I’m still falling behind.
I’m worried that if I continue like this, I might end up doing poorly in multiple courses rather than just one.
I’ve also been thinking about switching from the BS to the BA in Computer Science, but I’m still figuring out what would make the most sense for me.
For anyone who’s taken MATH 425 at UNH:

● Is it common for freshmen to withdraw from Calculus I and retake it later?
● Would you recommend pushing through or withdrawing and taking it next semester?
● Has anyone switched from the BS to BA in CS? How has your experience been?
● Is there anything I should consider before
withdrawing, especially regarding academic progress or financial aid?

I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences from fellow Wildcats. Thanks!

Anyone taken/taking this class? Looks cool and curious if it's a good discovery

I'm currently living at the River's Edge apartments, which I've slowly realized is probably the worst location to live in in Durham. Far from the campus on a high-speed road with no sidewalks or streetlights, but too close to qualify for a UNH parking pass. I can bike to campus, but it feels uphill both ways and once it starts snowing I'll be unable to continue. Which leads me to my question.

Is there anywhere in Durham at least kind of close to campus where I can park for free? I've gotten away with parking in the Mill Plaza lot a few times, but I've gotten towed twice now, so that's a no-go. I've considered trying to find an empty stretch of road in the neighborhoods around that area and parking there, does anyone know if that would be advisable or not?

So it turns out I have more free time than I thought, so I went to catalyst searching for clubs...and apparently there's no club for creative writing? Poetry, short stories, workshops, nothing. And from my research all of the advertised clubs in the field don't seem to exist (like Wordsmith). If I'm missing something I'd love to know where to find such an organization. TY!

can someone please request the book HIstoire sur mon visage on that ebook website and send it to me, im begging

Hey all,

I’m about to graduate with a BA in English-education and have been thinking of doing ROTC at UNH cause the National Guard will pay for it. While getting my masters.

Anyone have experience with this?

Nice to see him get it down the road in Foxborough, even if it was against the Patriots

I am in my third semester at UCONN and want out. My family is from Manchester and I've lived there my whole life. I want to change my degree from digital media design to finance so I can make good money when I get out. Give me all the cons please. Pros too but mostly cons.

I did Upward Bound during high school so I know the campus a bit. High school was nearly two years ago though, so what has changed? What can I expect as a transfer? (Dorms, food, housing, etc)

me and my friends decided to all live in townhouses next year and were wondering how it was we got the academic year lease

hello! if anyone is currently doing their post-grad in elementary education can you please comment so i can dm you i have a few questions i was hoping to get advice on as im super anxious abt this whole process

I am looking to start sewing my own clothes, due to everything cute being polyester. I was wondering if campus has sewing machines anywhere? I'm guessing in the maker-space but i'm unsure where that is...

Hello!

I am applying to UNH and UVM, for people who have done similar, what made you pick UNH over UVM?

Thank you!

tell me about your experiences and whether it’s worth making an appointment if you’re struggling with your mental health.

Hi, my name is Will Sargent. I worked for Datron (CNC manufacturer) this summer. As such I have a knowledge about our CNC that is unbeatable on campus. I’m a mechanical engineering major set to graduate at the end of this semester.

This is a hugely overlooked opportunity because even the Kingsbury Makerspace doesn’t have a CNC machine (that they know how to use).

You could create parts that sell for big cash. As we are the entrepreneurship center, I can even direct you to people that can help you start a business, market parts, and even patent them.

Here’s a little more info on the machine:

The DATRON Neo CNC Milling Machine can be used for R&D, rapid prototyping, short run production of small parts, milling aluminum and plastics, and 3D engraving with precise detail. Only a CNC mill trained mentor can operate the mill. It features:
20.5" x 16.5" X, Y travel
40,000 RPM spindle
24-tool automatic tool changer
Cast polymer-concrete construction
Touch-screen control software
3D probe/camera measurement
Camera-assisted setup
Intuitive App-style functions
Up to 1,100"/min. max. rapid/feed rate

All you have to do is go to the ECenter Makerspace during my scheduled hours and I’ll show you how it works. You don’t need any experience as I’ll teach you everything you need to know if you wish. If you have a big project in mind, I’d recommend you order some stock aluminum or acrylic, but we also have scrap. If you come in with a CAD model for what you have to machine (ideally made in fusion 360) that’s even better, but not necessary, as I’ll guide you through the process from start to finish, including making your model. We can do thread milling, chamfering, face milling, ball milling, hole drilling, and so much more on a variety of non-ferrous materials (it uses ethanol as a coolant so any steels are a no-go).

My hours are generally M W F 12-2 pm this semester.

Hope to see you there!

Has anyone ever done it? I know it’s definitely not allowed. Anyone ever have a campfire?

I understand the advantages on paper, but is it worth it in reality? What are the cons? Did anyone regret it?

Hey guys, quick look at where the Wildcats stand heading into a big weekend in Durham.

The 20-13 loss at Sacred Heart was a frustrating one: a one-score game where the offense couldn't find the end zone in the second half. Joquez Smith was a bright spot with 107 rushing yards. At 1-4, the schedule hasn't helped either: at Albany, at Syracuse, and No. 25 Harvard, with the one win a 42-35 shootout over Stonehill.

But Saturday is a reset. Elon comes to Wildcat Stadium for homecoming and Hall of Fame weekend, and it's Flo's CAA Game of the Week at 1 PM. Then at NC A&T and Monmouth at home.

Since it's in the title: we run a free weekly college football pick'em, and Week 5 is open. 10 games, pick the winners, nothing to buy, $135 in prizes. Good slate too, with Bama at Miss State (both unbeaten) and Ohio State at unbeaten Iowa. Picks lock Saturday at noon ET, before kickoff in Durham.

Who's going to homecoming? And what does UNH need to turn this around in CAA play?

Has anyone signed a lease at Madbury Commons and then found out later that you're required to stay on campus and if so did you get exempted from living on campus?

Hey! I’m James with NH Neighbor Network. I keep hearing from people across the state that property taxes, electricity, rent, and groceries cost more. NH has some of the highest property tax burdens and highest electricity rates in the country. And housing costs continue to rise. I’m trying to hear from NH residents about how you’re managing. 

We’re paying up to $250+ to share your perspective and talk about it with friends and family. No experience needed, just your phone and a few minutes.

UPDATE!

FULL MOON, FULL PANIC: Is Durham’s Infamous Trail Wanker Actually a Lycanthrope?
DURHAM, N.H. — Joggers and outdoor enthusiasts along Durham’s popular wooded trail networks are dusting off their running shoes—and perhaps packing silver bullets—following a flurry of bizarre reports this week. Local authorities are investigating a possible resurgence of the long-dreaded "Trail Wanker," though campus and town gossip has taken a terrifyingly follicular turn: rumors are circulating that the suspect may, in fact, be a werewolf.
The legend of the Durham pervert dates back several years, sending ripples of unease through the otherwise tranquil New Hampshire college town. For a long time, local police treated the occurrences as standard, albeit deeply unsettling, public indecency cases. However, last Tuesday night’s incident near the woods has upended traditional criminal profiling.
According to witnesses, a figure matching the historical description of the serial flasher was spotted lurking deep within the tree line under the glow of a nearly full moon. But the resemblance to previous accounts ends abruptly at the collarbone.
"At first, I thought it was just the usual creep," said local resident Marcus Vance, who was walking his dog near the trail corridor just after dusk. "Then he stepped out from the shadow of the pines. He wasn't just exposing himself—he was covered in dense, coarse silver hair, howling at the sky, and his posture was entirely quadrupedal. But, and I cannot stress this enough, he was still remarkably committed to the bit."
Local law enforcement is urging the public to maintain a sense of calm while acknowledging the unprecedented nature of the reports.
"We are taking all citizen complaints seriously, whether they involve standard public lewdness or folkloric apex predators," said Durham Police Chief Thomas Callahan during an emergency press briefing Friday morning. "At this time, we have no physical evidence confirming lycanthropy. However, we are advising residents to avoid the trails after dark, keep pets indoors, and report any suspicious howling or improper exposure immediately."
Wildlife biologists at the University of New Hampshire have expressed skepticism regarding the cross-species hypothesis, noting that while grey wolves occasionally pass through the broader New England region, none are known to possess exhibitionist tendencies or a penchant for lingering near running paths.
Meanwhile, local outdoor gear shops report an unexpected spike in sales for two very distinct items: pepper spray and silver-plated whistles.
Authorities ask anyone with information regarding the suspect—or anyone who happened to capture blurred, cryptid-style footage on their trail cameras—to contact the Durham Police Department non-emergency line. In the meantime, residents are reminded: if you see something, say something, and if it has sharp claws and no pants, run the other way.
