The University of New Hampshire (UNH) traces its origins to the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, founded in 1866. It was later expanded into a full-fledged university through the efforts of local authorities and received its current name in 1923. It is the largest university in New Hampshire, with its main campus in Durham and an additional campus in Manchester.

UNH is a member of the New England Regional Student Program under the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE), which allows students from other New England states to access specific educational programs at reduced tuition rates.

The university's location is a major advantage, offering proximity to the White Mountains for skiing and easy access to the Atlantic coastline. Additionally, New Hampshire is one of the safest states in the U.S., and the cost of living is lower compared to many other states.

Accommodation:
The University of New Hampshire offers a variety of housing options across its Durham and Manchester campuses. Students can choose from traditional residence halls, apartments, and small residence communities. Accommodation cost: $3,000 – $5,000 per semester, depending on the selected option.
