Saint Anselm College is a Catholic liberal arts college in Goffstown, New Hampshire. Founded in 1889 by Abbot Hilary Pfrängle, O.S.B. of Saint Mary's Abbey in Newark, New Jersey, in conjunction with Bishop Denis Mary Bradley, O.S.B. of Manchester, New Hampshire, the college is the third-oldest Catholic college in New England. Named after Saint Anselm of Canterbury, the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1093 to 1109, the college continues to have a fully functioning and independent Benedictine abbey attached to it, Saint Anselm Abbey. According to the college, the student body is selected not only for their academic abilities but also for their personal character. The college’s academic curriculum requires several philosophy and theology courses and the completion of a two-year humanities program — “Portraits of Human Greatness” — which has been nationally recognized. The administration is committed to an anti grade inflation policy. Offering over 30 majors, as well as 23 certificate programs, the college does not allow double majors or minors. Student to faculty ratio is 12:1, as most classes never have over 18 students; 95% of professors hold terminal degrees.
Since the 1950s, the college has played an important role in the “first in the nation” New Hampshire primary, and has served as the national stage for many presidential aspirants and supporters. Presidents John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon each delivered important policy speeches while at the college. The college has been home to several national presidential debates which have attracted extensive media attention. Alumni Hall has become a familiar backdrop for the national media when reporting from the college in both 2004 and 2008. The New Hampshire Institute of Politics, attached to the college, has released several national polls and held hundreds of campaign events throughout the last decade. The Washington Post recently referred to Saint Anselm College as "the Benedictine college with a box seat on America's most riveting political theater".

Hotels Close to University of New Hampshire Manchester
The University of New Hampshire at Manchester (or UNHM) was established in 1985 as the sixth college of the University of New Hampshire. Located in Manchester, UNH Manchester provides associate's, bachelor's, and master's, with special emphasis on programs that address urban issues. UNH Manchester has a collaborative agreement with the neighboring New Hampshire Institute of Art that allows students interested in pursuing a degree in Fine Art to transfer into the Institute's BFA program. The college also has an articulation agreement with the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences campus in Manchester which allows students to dual enroll in the pre-pharmacy or physician assistant programs. UNH Manchester also has established an international partnership with the Institute at Palazzo Rucellai in Florence, Italy, which allows students from its Politics and Society program to study abroad.
Each semester approximately 1,500 students commute to the city campus to take classes in the University Center building, where the college moved during the 1999 through 2001 academic years from its old campus on Hackett Hill near Hooksett, New Hampshire; for more than a decade, the college had maintained both campuses, with the bulk of the campus and most support functions on Hackett Hill and limited class offerings in the former textile mill building. Due to its central location in Manchester, the largest city in the state, UNH Manchester is within a thirty minutes' drive of half the state's population. For this reason, and the lack of on-campus housing, the school considers itself to be the University's "commuter college."
University Center is located at 400 Commercial Street on the banks of the Merrimack River in Manchester's historic millyard. The 75,000-square-foot (7,000 m2) building, built in 1880, formerly housed the machine shop of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company.
UNH Manchester is a college of the University of New Hampshire. The University of New Hampshire is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. Students graduating from UNH Manchester join the more than 130,000 alumni who have graduated from the University of New Hampshire.

Palace Theater
Manchester NH
~11.03 miles from Bow city center
Hotels Close to Palace Theater
The Palace Theatre is a stage production venue in Manchester, New Hampshire, USA.
In June, 1914, Greek immigrant Victor Charas with the help of general contractor Henry Macropol and architect Leon Lempert & Son began construction on the theatre. It was fashioned after its namesake in New York City, and is remarkably similar to; although smaller than, the Big Apple's Palace Theatre.
Construction was completed in under a year. At the time, the theatre was dubbed as the only first-class theatre in New Hampshire that was fireproof and air-conditioned. (In actuality, it was cooled by the use of several fans which blew air over large blocks of ice under the stage.)
The Palace Theatre opened on April 9, 1915. Local press billed the evening as the grandest social occasion of the century and the musical comedy Modern Eve played to a full house. With their bright marquee lights, collectively the theatres of the downtown Manchester were referred to as The Great White Way.
Up to 1930 the Palace had touring vaudeville companies regularly on its stage, with famous performers of the day, including Jimmy Durante, Bob Hope, Harry Houdini, The Marx Brothers, and Red Skelton. Stock companies, such as The Palace players had up to a dozen performances a week.
Vaudeville began to lose public favor toward the end of the 1920s, as silent pictures and talkies drew crowds to the silver screen. The Palace struggled to stay in business, so it adapted and became primarily a movie house from 1930 until the early-1960s.
By the late 1960’s the Palace Theatre was no longer being used as a theatre at all. Instead it was used as classroom space for New Hampshire College. When the school moved to their new campus, the Palace became vacant, and fell into disrepair. Eventually, the seats were removed, the stage equipment was abandoned, and the building was used as a warehouse.
In 1973, two young impresarios - Jon Ogden and Rebecca Gould discovered that Manchester lawyer John McLane had prevailed upon the Norwin S. and Elizabeth N. Bean Foundation to take an option on the Palace in hopes of finding a way to keep it from being sold and torn down. The Bean Foundation funded a feasibility study headed by Ogden and Gould and then agreed to provide $500,000 for the renovation of the theatre. McLane and Gould spearheaded a campaign to provide operating funds for the Palace while Ogden served as the general contractor for the renovation process. On November 2, 1974, the Palace Theatre reopened with its new facade, lighting system, backstage furnishings and new orchestra seating. (Ogden and his staff were still installing the last few seats one half hour before the building officially opened.) Mayor Sylvio Dupuis, a member of the Board of Directors of the newly formed New Hampshire Performing Arts Center, served as emcee at the opening night ceremonies.

Hotels Close to Daniel Webster College
Daniel Webster College (DWC) is a for-profit[1] proprietary college in Nashua, New Hampshire with a professions focus.
It was established as the New England Aeronautical Institute, associated with Boire Field, in 1965, but merged with its Daniel Webster Junior College division in 1978 to become Daniel Webster College.
By the mid-2000s, the college was having financial issues and failing to meet "financial responsibility standards" of the United States Department of Education, a measure of economic viability. In 2009, Daniel Webster College received a score of just 0.5 out of 3 on that scale, with 1.5 considered passing.[5] Faced with the prospect of losing educational accreditation and federal funding, both of which would have forced the school to close,[5][6] it was acquired by ITT Educational Services, Inc., the parent company of the ITT Technical Institutes[7] in June 2009, and subsequently became a for-profit institution.[9]

Holman Stadium is a baseball stadium in Nashua, New Hampshire. It was constructed in 1937 as a multipurpose stadium by the City of Nashua. The stadium is named for Charles Frank Holman, who contributed $55,000 for the project. Holman Stadium, which also was funded by money made available by the federal government during the Great Depression, was dedicated to the youth and people of Nashua in memory of Holman's parents.
Owned by the city, it became home to the Nashua Pride, a baseball team in the independent Atlantic League, in 1998. (In 2006 the Pride switched to the Can-Am League, and in 2008 the team was sold and renamed the American Defenders of New Hampshire). Another non-affiliated team, the Nashua Hawks of the North Atlantic League, played at Holman Stadium earlier in the 1990s. Prior to that, several major league teams had farm teams based in the stadium, including the California Angels, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Brooklyn Dodgers. Official seating capacity is 4,375. Holman Stadium was upgraded in 2002 from a plain seating bowl to a stadium with luxury boxes and a press box on top of the grandstand. It is located in a residential area of Nashua.
Holman hosted what is considered the first integrated U.S. baseball team in the modern era, when Roy Campanella and Don Newcombe played for the then-Nashua Dodgers in 1946.
