About University of New Hampshire

Set inside a restored brick mill in the city's historic Millyard, UNH Manchester pairs an urban vibe with the reach of a public research university. Known for applied, hands-on learning across technology, life sciences, communication, and business. You'll find modern labs, a makerspace, media studios, and a library, plus advising, tutoring, counseling, and an active career team.

Student life feels close-knit and commuter-friendly, with clubs, esports, volunteer projects, and quick escapes along the river. The culture is collaborative and practical, less hype, more doing. Career prep shows in internships and client work with nearby companies, healthcare groups, and nonprofits. The city adds coffee-fueled study spots, arts venues, and easy access to mentors. And those brick-and-beam hallways give the place character.
