One of my favorite things about UNH is how many incredible events happen on campus every weekend – there is always something to do! They’re almost all free for students, and you should definitely go to as many as you can since you’ve already paid for them in your tuition. I’ve put together a comprehensive list of the events that will be happening on campus from now until the beginning of October, so try to make time to attend a few!
