Dorm preference for freshmen?

Would anyone like to shed light on their opinion regarding the dorm options at UNH? I’m not really sure a freshman really has an option but just in case, what are your thoughts?

Just depends on what your child wants. The huge party dorm is Stoke. The other big freshman dorms are Christianson and Williamson. However, if your child wants an “alcohol and drug free community”, they can request Engelhart and most likely get it. If they are in the College of Engineering and Physical Science, they can request housing in Handler Hall in the InCEPStion floor and most likely get it; it is all freshman; that is what my daughter did and loved it. You can go to the Housing and Residential Life page of the UNH website and see all the options.
