Living at UNH Works for You


Here’s where classic college town meets your new hometown. Charming, safe and community-oriented, downtown Durham packs a lot of punch into its walkable Main Street hub. There are unique local businesses, a well-stocked grocery store and plenty of places to caffeinate. You’re bound to see your peers, faculty and neighbors at your favorite downtown businesses, which means it’s more than a college town adjacent to campus: it’s a town where you’ll belong.

Downtown Durham is less than a five-minute walk from campus, giving you easy access to all it has to offer. Here’s where you’ll find everything from locally-roasted coffee to freshly-made smoothies and diner fare, and start one of your most important UNH journeys: finding the best slice of pizza in town.
