    If you are a history buff, you have to check out the Portsmouth Athenaeum! The front door is…read moresomewhat hidden but if you walk a little bit up the block from Starbucks you'll find it. Couple flights of stairs or an elevator and you find yourself in the middle of a pretty neat research library. We went to the North End History exhibit and it was super-informative and very interesting. Lots of neat old photos and details about parts of Portsmouth we drive by on a regular basis without realizing their historical significance. Ask for James, ask a few questions, and sit back and laugh as he takes the history of the area and wraps it up in funny and memorable stories and anecdotes. Just a note - finish your food and coffee before visiting. There are some incredibly old books in this place and you don't want to spill!

    When I wandered into the Portsmouth Athenaeum I had a Belle from Beauty and the Beast moment. The…read morelibrary is not as grand as Beast's, but there is something magical about being around really, really old books and stuff. We met a man who was working (or was he just hanging out? not sure) there and was nice enough to give us a special tour of the place! He was so knowledgeable about the history of Portsmouth and was so passionate about the town. I saw some really neat artifacts here, including whale vertebrae...which totally made me squeal in excitement. Just take a visit to the Portsmouth Athenaeum and strike up a conversation. You never know what you will discover!

    I recently attended my first University event. Today I went to "U Day" at the University of New…read moreHampshire in front of Thompson Hall. U Day is an annual event for students to make connections and find clubs that meet their interests. This year the fair took place on September 12th and the weather was exceptional. The dining halls closed early to encourage students to come to the event and grab a bite. There were vegetarian and gluten free options available so that everyone could enjoy food while listening to music and exploring all the clubs the University has to offer. There truly was something for everyone; the organizations ranged from American Sign Language club to United Asian Coalition to Ski and Board club. There were so many people walking around and signing up for clubs that they felt they would enjoy. It was nice to see everyone out enjoying and embracing themselves. I went to this event to get an idea for what was out there in terms of student organizations and I left as a member of a club. I would highly recommend this event to all Freshman and Upperclassmen as well. The event is a great way to celebrate all the varying cultures and interests our students have to offer. Hoy fui a mi primer evento organizado por la universidad y me lo pasé bien. El evento se llama "U Day" y es una forma divertida de ver todos los muchos clubes y organizaciones que UNH tiene para ofrecer. El evento es anual y este año tuvo lugar el 12 de septiembre. Quería ir a este evento porque estaba interesado en estar en un club, pero quería saber más sobre ellos primero. Me sorprendió cuántos había. había un club para todo el mundo cada cultura que se podía imaginar que era celebrada por un club, era tan guay. Recomiendo esto a todo el mundo y le doy una calificación de cinco estrellas.

This is my last college…read moretour and my daughter says she is interested in becoming a veternarian at University of New Hampshire has a great program. I went hoping to not like it, but I loved it! The campus is gorgeous! There are so many spaces for students to enjoy their college experience. From a state of the art athletic facility with a rock climbing wall, emotiinal support dogs, and swimming pool to a facility for hands on learning how to operate a care for cats and dogs. There are horses and a farming courses. There is a phenominal study abroad option where there are established relationships. I found the campus grounds impressive. Dorms are adequate coed style roomy comfortable options. The campus could have a little more diversity but overall it is a friendly accepting place for students to learn and grow. The staff were very well informed, personable, and accepting. We had a nice meal in the main cafeteria which was very good. I ended up really enjoying our time on campus.
