Dorm Life: UNH Style

Which one best suits you?

Dorm Life: UNH Style

It is inevitable that everyone is going to endure the dorm life experience at some point during their college career. For some, living in a dorm may be one of the best parts of your 4 years at university or college. Here at UNH, there is a plethora of dorms to choose from -- each dorm, having their own sense of community and feels.

1. The Sercs

Also, known by their individual names -- Peterson Hall, Haaland Hall, Handler Hall. They have suite style rooms that are clean and updated. These dorms are on the back side of campus and have a wonderful community feel. It is commonly sophomores or juniors who choose to reside in these halls.

2. Congreve Hall

This hall is all about location. Located right in the center of campus, this dorm could not offer anything more. It is right across from T-Hall lawn and has a plethora of windows and a beautiful courtyard. This dorm is highly ranked and the hot spot on campus.

3. Adams Tower West

This dorm originally opened in 2010, where it used to be known as The New England Center Hotel. This dorm is hidden behind Stratford Ave. and right next to the Whittemore Center. These rooms are large triples with a bathroom and wonderful views.

4. Hetzel Hall

This dorm is right off of Main Street, being conveniently next to all the good food places such as The Works and The Durham Market Place. For those who love to be in more of a smaller community, this dorm is for you due to its small numbers of less than 165 residents. This beautiful brick building has spring flowers planted right outside and will make this place feel nothing short of home.

5. Hubbard Hall

This is a coed residence hall for honors students and those who have high expectations in terms of academics. To those who want a quiet and academic based dorm, this one is for you!

6. Stoke Hall

Get ready to have some fun because Stoke is where it's at. This is a freshman/ sophomore based dorm that will give you the opportunity to meet an awesome, outgoing and upbeat group of people. Stoke is also known for being called "The Palace."

7. Christensen/Williamson

These two dorms, located behind Philbrook Dining Hall, are for first year only students. There is nothing more exciting and comforting than knowing you are in the same boat as everyone else -- entering a new school and a new chapter in life. I would highly recommend these dorms to any incoming freshman.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
