As the University of New Hampshire gets ready to welcome our #UNHBound students to campus this June for orientation, we wanted to shine the spotlight on our newest class. They are leaders and innovators. Deep thinkers and big dreamers. Problem solvers and communicators. They are ready to inspire this community and make a difference in the world. With their incredible range of interests and goals, they are, above all, Wildcats.
Learn more about our incoming class of new first-year students.
3,000+ first-year students
This is UNH’s biggest first-year class since 2018. What does that mean for you? Energy, enthusiasm and connection. You’ll find your circle – and then keep expanding it.
39 states and 18 countries represented
UNH is a dynamic global community that calls New Hampshire home. No two Wildcats look at the world in exactly the same way, and that range of perspectives makes UNH the place it is.
Average 3.62 GPA
When UNH went test-optional, we were able to celebrate the many ways Wildcats demonstrate their knowledge and skillset – starting with academic leadership in the classroom.
390 honors students
The University Honors Program is one of the many places at UNH where curiosity thrives.
674 first-generation students
Nearly a quarter of UNH’s undergraduate population is first-generation – the first in their family to go to college.
25 Student-Veterans
Student-Veterans lead across campus. The Military & Veteran Services office is their supportive and inclusive home base at UNH.
97 student-athletes
Hard work meets teamwork. Wildcat pride isn’t just about goals scored or milestones achieved – it’s about being part of a community that goes the extra mile.
