• Thanks!New!Hampshire!for!being!you!!

• The!last!question!was!quite!confusing,!I!was!unsure!whether!it!was!asking!if!each!factor!should!

be!rated!on!importance!or!whether!it!was!a!motivator!to!stay!

!

!

• The!only!thing!that!you!forgot!to!ask!me!is!if!I!have!a!disability!or!not,!and!do!I!have!a!mental!

disability.!I!am!ADD!and!ADHD,!but!it’s!not!that!bad,!I!am!usually!just!a!slower!learner,!and!I!

am!a!serious!and!sensitive!man.!

• The!Paul!college!curriculum!needs!to!be!seriously!looked!at.!It!provides!fantastic!opportunities!

for!students.!it!provides!them!to!seniors!mostly!that!are!strung!thin!between!work!school!

internships!and!job!searching!and!should!provide!these!opportunities!earlier!or!after!

graduation!

• The!questions!were!all!geared!towards!someone!who!has!yet!to!get!a!job.!

• The!schools!here!are!progressive!!

• The!Seacoast!area!of!NH!is!one!of!the!most!beautiful!areas!in!New!England!and!positively!

reflects!the!people!who!occupy!it.!

• There!is!not!much!support!for!international!student!in!NH,!or!at!least!I!am!not!aware!of.!

• There!isn't!an!option!for!second!major.!I'm!also!working!on!my!degree!at!the!Thompson!

school.!

• There!needs!to!be!a!better!way!for!students!to!find!jobs!upon!graduation.!Current!resources!

aren’t!very!valuable.!

• This!is!a!very!comprehensive!list!!!The!only!other!thing!I!would!add!next!time!is!a!question!for!

graduating!seniors!to!see!who!(if!anyone)!has!a!job!already!lined!up,!and!whether!it!is!in!NH.!!

Thanks,!Kate!!!!!:[D!

• Through!my!whole!four!years,!my!classes!have!been!wonderful.!The!fields!of!study!have!

always!been!interesting!and!intense!with!knowledge.!Though,!through!my!years,!every!year!

something!has!changed.!Titles!and!requirements!for!certain!fields!of!study,!switching!the!

professional!classes!to!different!grades,!making!the!classes!to!large!and!impersonal,!as!well!as!

additional!classes!added!every!year!after!I!could!have!taken!them.!I!feel!like!I!always!missed!

out!on!things!that!could!have!benefited!me.!As!well!asgetting!ready!for!my!time!after!school.!I!

was!very!excited!for!my!professional!Artist!class,!hoping!it!would!help!me!set!into!the!

professional!world,!but!currently!it!is!a!joke.!almost!40!students!in!one!class...!that!is!not!

helping!us!to!prepare!

• Tuition!rates!for!INSTATE!are!too!high.!

• Under!gender!options!only!male!and!female!were!listed.!!I!am!neither!female!nor!male.!!

Having!a!Genderqueer!option!would!be!appreciated!by!many!LGBTQ*!participants!taking!this!

survey.!

• UNH!didn't!help!me!network!and!met!professionals!as!much!as!I!was!hoping!it!would!

• UNH!was!a!great!institution!to!attend!and!play!division!1!athletics!for!4!years!at!

• Vermont!doesn’t!not!have!a!PA!school!which!is!why!i!chose!to!relocate!to!NH,!being!the!

closest!one!to!where!I!am!from.!

• Volunteering!my!time!to!mission.!

In!the!past!three!years!I!have!gone!to!Haiti!on!a!ten!day!mission!trip!

I!am!very!thankfukl!for!Granite!State!college!working!along!side!me!and!allowing!me!to!go!to!

Haiti!as!well!as!work!full!time!and!be!in!school!full!time!

• Was!it!worth!going!to!school!in!New!Hampshire.!The!answer!is!yes.!

• What!are!some!characteristics!of!your!ideal!place!to!live.!You!should!be!asking!about!what!

young!people!want.!That!way!you!can!provide!that.!

• what!are!you!going!to!do!to!help!me!find!a!job!

• What!I!plan!to!do!if!I!cannot!find!a!job!to!pay!back!student!loans.!It's!a!concern!of!many!

seniors.!

• what!type!of!housing!we!are!looking!for.!maybe!with!a!roommate!or!individual,!home!vs!

apartment!etc.!

!

!

• Where!we!are!from?!

• Whether!or!not!our!colleges!have!helped!us!find!jobs!for!after!graduation.!

• While!I!enjoy!the!different!ways!teachers!help!us!learn!I!believe!with!new!teachers,!there!

should!be!a!curriculum!that!helps!them!understand!we!are!adults!with!jobs!and!families!to!

support.!This!will!help!teachers!and!students!from!being!overwhelmed!and!dopping!classes!

because!lack!of!understanding!on!time!available!for!an!adult!pursuing!higher!education.!

• Yay,!New!Hampshire!!

• Yes,!

I!moved!to!NH!7!years!ago!to!work!as!an!Athletic!Trainer!because!there!were!no!openings!in!

ME.!!I!enjoyed!it!enough!to!purchase!a!house!and!plan!to!stay!in!NH!for!a!while.!!That!why!I!

chose!the!school!i!did![!as!well!as!the!program!being!accelerated!

• You!might!want!to!consider!asking!questions!based!on!the!success!of!their!decision!to!attend!a!

New!Hampshire!University/Collage!

• Your!organization!is!great!!I!want!to!stay!in!NH!and!I!think!other!people!should!too.!Things!
