Frosh Faces - Kelsey Juntwait
In a segment new to The New Hampshire, any volunteering freshman who wants to talk about their first experiences at UNH can write about them here in the Frosh Faces blog.
It is designed to be informative for incoming or prospective Wildcats, humorous or compassionate for older students who connect with the stories and a positive space for first-year students who want to get some published writing under their belt in a more informal setting.
This part of the Frosh Faces series is Kelsey Juntwait's story.

I looked at schools in California, North Carolina and Florida – all warm climates – all far from home – all perfect for me. Now you ask, how did I end up at the University of New Hampshire? Well that’s a good question and to be honest, I still don’t even know the answer to it. I moved to Amherst, NH my freshman year of high school. I guess I ended up here at UNH on...
