The most popular club on campus? It’s not chess. It’s not ultimate. It’s the Ski and Board Club, founded in 1999. Students pay annual dues of $60 for transportation to Loon Mountain and Sunday River ski resorts, and other social events (i.e. movie nights with ski flicks). For serious skiers, UNH has a tradition in alpine and Nordic racing.

Average early career earnings: $45,900
