Step By Step Guide: UNH Freshman Housing Application
Patrick Poulin

This article provides guidance to incoming first-year students filling out the University Of New Hampshire housing application. Please note that your application may look different than mine based on the options you choose.

WELCOME TO UNH!


1.

Let's get started! Click on the "Visit University Login Page" link at the top of the page.

2.

Log in using your UNH ID and password.

3.

Now that you are logged in you may click the "Housing Application" tab highlighted in the image above.

4.

Click the Academic year you are applying for, in this case it is 2017-2018. Then press "Save and Continue."

5.

Welcome to the 11-step housing application. Press "Save and Continue" to move forward.

6.

Please read the room and board agreement carefully as it contains important information about housing.

7.

To confirm that you agree to the terms of the Room & Board Agreement, input your UNH ID number. If you don't know it you can look it up here. Tip: Keep this number handy as you’ll need it often during your Wildcat career! Press "Agree" to move on.

8.

Select a meal plan for next year.

Press "Save and Continue" to move on.

9.

Would you like to add Dining Dollars to your ID card? Select an amount, or, choose “none” from the drop-down menu. Dining dollars do not carry forward from semester to semester. They can be used at campus convenience stores, vending machines, and retail food locations like Philly Café and the Dairy Bar. Press "Save and Continue" to move on. To learn more about Dining Dollars, go here. Press "Save and Continue" to move on.

10.

If you will need vacation housing during one or more of the break periods, (Winter break, spring break, etc.) enter that here. Press "Save and Continue" to move on.

11.

An important part of the housing application is preferencing in which building or area of campus you would like to live. UNH has many great and unique communities to offer. I suggest doing some research on the halls here, then ranking your community preferences on this page. Press "Save and Continue" to move on.

12.

In this step you will preference the type of room you would like to be assigned to. There are many options such as suites (rooms with a shared bath), and traditional style singles, doubles, triples, built-up triples, and quad rooms. Be sure to rank all of your preferences in order. Press "Save and Continue" to move on.

13.

Enter your personal contact information and your emergency contact's information. You must enter valid contact information in all fields before being able to submit this page. Press "Save and Continue" to move on.

14.

In the case that you don't have a roommate in mind or plans fall through, UNH Housing has put together a brief questionnaire to help them find a good match for you. It is important that you answer this survey as truthfully as possible. Your answers are only viewed by the Housing assignments team for the purposes of roommate matching. Press "Save and Continue" to move on.

15.

This is the roommate request/information page. If you have a specific roommate(s) in mind, this page gets you started. Your intended roommate must also specifically request you on his/her application. All specific roommate requests must be submitted by May 10! If you have no roommate(s) to request, just press "Save and Continue" to move on.

16.

On this page you may request a specific roommate. You and your potential roommate(s) will each give each other your screen names. Your screen name will appear on this page (Mine does not since I have a test account). After you put in their screen name press "Search" to find them. Press "Save and Continue" to move on.

17.

On this page you can voluntarily input medical information. Any information shared here will only be accessed by UNH personnel in the event of an emergency on your behalf. Click "Save and Continue" to move on.

18.

Congratulations! You have successfully completed the UNH Housing Application. Check this summary page over carefully for accuracy. If you have any questions about housing you may contact housing at 603-862-2120 or by email at housing.office@unh.edu.

If you have any other UNH-related questions I would be happy to answer them for you. You can contact me at pmp1004@wildcats.unh.edu or directly on Facebook.

We are excited to welcome you to campus!

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

1. You're tired of school food and have resorted to surviving off junk food and cereal.

2. Your financial aid/money is running out...and chances are it all went to textbooks and takeout.
