To my fellow Wildcats in distress,
Breathe. We can get through finals. We’ve done it before, and we can do it again. While all may seem hopeless, the world is not over. Thankfully, UNH provides us with some amazing extra help centers free of charge!

Worth it?
Absolutely yes! I have been to the writing center multiple times and they have been monumentally helpful with the writing process. You can bring in any kind of writing for help. They also sent a note to my professor letting him know that I visited the writing center. If you have a paper to write, make an appointment online right now to visit the writing center.
Resume Review
Located:
Hood House, Room 11
Hours:
Monday through Thursday 12pm to 2pm – Walk in hours, no appointment necessary
Helps with:
Developing resumes, and formatting, re-wording, or changing of current resumes. There are also templates and references online under the Hood House website.
Worth it?:
Yes! Just bring a copy of your resume for the reviews. Employers take about twenty seconds to review a resume, so you really need to make the most of their time. They also send you home with a booklet of sample resumes and cover letters. This is the most helpful resource when applying to jobs or attending career fairs.

CFAR also offers Strategies for Success on Final Exam Sessions that are course related to A&P, Nutrition, BIO 411/412, Chem 403, and MATH 418/425. There is also a Study skills drop-in clinic which provides a peer academic mentor that can provide information on time management, organizing, test taking and more. These are Monday through Wednesday from 4pm to 5:30pm.
Worth it?
CFAR is an amazing resource here at UNH and you should really take advantage of all they offer. If you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed at all, go to CFAR.
