    They have a great variety of food that works well for almost everyone. Homemade bread is the best.

    Great tasting food and a variety of choices can be found all around campus in dinning halls and kiosks set around the campus' student focused areas.

    UNH is known for having some of the best campus food in the country. It tastes good (by college food standards), thereâ??s a huge variety, itâ??s buffet-style so youâ??ll get your moneyâ??s worth, and if you want to eat healthy, are vegetarian, or have a gluten allergy, the dining halls have options that will cater to your needs.

    UNH dining is by far the best college food I have had. I am now an undergraduate at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and the food just does not compare.

    Greek life is big here because UNH kids love the party, and the frats are always throwing down, but most students arenâ??t involved in greek life themselves. If you are interested in greek life, though, the fraternities and sororities are well-known and really involved on campus.

    There is Greek Life at UNH and it's pretty stereotypical. They live in nice houses and throw huge parties (sometimes very dangerous for females) which get shut down by the police.
