Some high-profile visitors rolled through campus during the last week of October, as cast and crew from the Amazon Prime show The College Tour came to Durham to film for an upcoming episode that will feature UNH and is set to air in spring.

The College Tour meets students on the platforms they already use and trust, including Amazon Prime Video and YouTube, and speaks with the voices they most want to hear – students just like them. Each episode is hosted by Alex Boylan and aims to tell the authentic story of life on college campuses. It’s a great opportunity to improve UNH’s visibility among prospective students, but especially students who don't have the time or resources to travel to the university’s beautiful campus for an in-person visit.

Those student voices will come from 10 Wildcats who were chosen to be featured in the episode after submitting audition videos:

  • Emma Barsness ’25
  • David Brown ’26
  • Grace Burcaw ’26
  • Kelsea Carmichael ’25
  • Jayden Cruz ’26
  • Kaitlyn DaSilva ’26
  • Noa Hellquist ’26
  • A.J. Leech ’28
  • Tiffany Marrotte ’25
  • Roman Volpe ’25

Check out our photo gallery for some behind-the-scenes moments from the recent visit and stay tuned for more information about the premier of the full episode, which should debut in April or May. You won’t want to miss it!
