5.) Get an early start
Do your best to arrive early to allow plenty of time to park and make your way to the Hamel Recreation Center for event check-in.
6.) Keep an open mind
Remember that Open House is a day dedicated to possibility for your student. Have fun, keep an open mind and enjoy time with your student while anticipating all the opportunities on their horizon.
7.) Take a step back
Encourage your student to lead the way while exploring campus, asking questions and interacting with faculty and staff. They’ll start gaining independence and choosing their own path, which is great practice for starting college.
8.) Slow down
Remember to slow down and take it all in, while deciding whether UNH is the right choice for your student. Fall is one of the most beautiful times on our New England campus, so take in all the sights and sounds of UNH and enjoy your day!
