โš–๏ธFit Profile

๐Ÿ‘ Great Fit If You Are:

1

Nature-integrated learners

if you think best near trees, tidepools, or trails, UNH is your sanctuary.

2

Environmental and marine changemakers

if you want to protect ecosystems, this is a training ground.

3

Community-focused helpers

if your calling is education, social work, or public health, this school is people-first.

4

Applied thinkers

if you learn by doing and want to see your studies help real places, UNH delivers.

5

New Englanders at heart

if you want a regional powerhouse with small-campus feel, this is it.

๐Ÿšจ Not Ideal For:

1

Urban enthusiasts

Durham is calm and forested, not cosmopolitan.

2

Big-brand seekers

UNH is respected regionally, but not a national elite name.

3

Hyper-competitive students

the pace is steady, not cutthroat.

4

STEM theorists

applied environmental and health sciences are strong, but not ultra-abstract.

5

Diversity-maximizers

demographic diversity here is limited compared to urban campuses.
