There are five different parts of campus where there are dorms. Freshmen can live on East Campus which has five dorms. Russell is for honors students and ROTC, it has double rooms in a Z-shape so each roommate can have their own section of the room if they choose. There's three levels and a common room and kitchen on the first floor that is shared between two buildings. It also has a smaller room called the quiet study lounge. Harrington is an older version of Russell. There are two other dorms I've never been in, but the dorms are in a good location because Perkins student center is there, it's close to the library, and it isn't a far walk from classes. Freshmen can also live on West Campus which has two dorms which are older and have singles and doubles. These dorms have a lot of common rooms and are pretty social, but they'll be knocked down in the next few years because the university is building new freshmen dorms on East Campus. Freshmen can also live on Laird, which is pretty far but has the newest dorms that are suite style. They are known to be less social but very nice. Upperclassmen can live in other dorms on The Green on or on Laird. I think every dorm has a communal kitchen and common area.

If you want a professor to know your name you can make it happen. First year students will find themselves in a class with 300 students so unless you go constantly to the teachers office hours the teacher will never know who you are. My favorite class was computer science for engineers and my least favorite class was chemistry103. I did much better in chemistry but my teacher made computer science much more interesting to learn. Students study according to their major. Im an engineer so I study everyday for a couple of hours at least. In general students take there grades very seriously. Students are not competitive between each other but they aren't between each other willing to help one another. The most unique class has been computer science. Its learning a new language but in a completely different aspect. Im a civil engineer. My advisor is really helpful as well as the department as a whole. They are there to help you get through every class, they do try and get you the degree you want. People do get weeded out though. I have gone to several of my teachers office hours for extra help. They love helping, its there job. They will never turn you away, but instead encourage you to go regardless of your understanding of the material. The school has requirements that force you to learn things outside of your major. I think its great so you can have a greater global education than only from one specific school such as the engineering school. The education is definitely geared towards being able to get out in the real world and get a job. There are constant internship opportunities for anyone that is interested. Opportunities to build up your resume are there for anyone who wants to take advantage of the schools resources.

My classes are about an hour and a half in duration. Most of them are pretty interesting, although some can be boring at times. The professors all have their own little quirks which makes class amusing.

My freshman year, I did all my work from my dorm room, but that has changes a lot this year. My favorite place to go is the library because I feel that I can really focus there. Some other places on campus that are quiet are Perkins student center and the Chapel in Trabant. There are a lot of quiet places to study around campus, all with different atmospheres which is really nice.

The most popular student activities on campus are Greek Life, Athletic Events, and SCAPAB. Over 20 percent of Delaware is involved in Greek Life. I am in a Fraternity and it was the best decision I've ever made. Most of the freshman dorms are extremely social and I am still best friends with the kids who lived on my floor my freshman year. It was like an open door policy whenever you wanted to go into someone else's room. There is always something to do on campus over the weekends and many events that happen during the week if you do not have homework.

I love Delaware. You will too.

loved my college experience at UD! best people and best times!

Freshman year few professors knew my name, but not that I am a senior all my professors know my name. My favorite class is a politics in entertainment communication class. Our professor got her doctorate in political humor and we analyze the new, watch daily show clips, and joke around a lot in class. I hated calc freshman year, it was awful. I study when I have exams, but I don't send all my time doing work. Class participation is common, few intellectual conversations happen outside of class, and you can find your competitive students, but things are not cut throat here. My politics in entertainment communication class is probably my most unique. The comm department is small and competitive. You start for 2 years as a comm interest major and then after taking 4 core courses they put your "comm gpa" against everyone else's and take the top 100. I really like the professors & I like that it is small. I don't spent time with professors outside of class, but I know people that do. The requirements are a fine, a lot of breadth requirements though. I would say the education leans toward getting a job.

-All of my professors know my name, its pretty cool. -HRIM is the best department there is. No question.

Depends on the class. Favorite class- business law was great because I had a really good professor. I strongly disliked my statistics classes- very difficult and dry. Students study various amounts- that is completely by the person. Class participation varies by the class. Depends on the students- many do and many do not. Most unique class- entrepeneurship of business. This was a great class. Economics was my major- I had some great professors who were down to earth and easy to relate to but I didn't love the classes. Usually not but I had coffee with a professor and some classmates for having perfect attendance. The requirements are fair for the most part. I think UD can do more to help students obtain jobs. Push for internships more.

Yes, all my professors know my name. But I think this is because I have smaller classes and am a Senior. My favorite classes have been with Professor McKay Jenkins. Those classes were Literature and the Environment (ENGL480) and Journalism and Genocide (ENGL409). He's an amazing person and he has changed my path in life. I study at least three to five hours a day, but sometimes more. Class participation is common in my classes, but I think this is because I'm in English classes. I think UD students have intellectual conversations out of class. I think it depends on your group of friends, though. Students are not too competitive. The most unique class I've taken is probably Journalism and Genocide. I do spend time with professors outside of class, but I think this is because I'm doing research with Professor Jenkins. I also work at The Review, so I tend to see professors because of that as well. I think UD and the journalism department has definitely prepared me for getting a job. I've already had job offers.

Professors know your name as you get to smaller classes in junior and senior year.

I highly recommend going abroad while at Delaware. The school has a ton of programs around the world. Most students go for a winter session during the month of January. I went to Australia and New Zealand with an English program and it was an experience I will never forget.

BEST TAILGATERS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL AND BEST TEAM IN 1-AA

UD was definately four of the best years of my life. It was not only fun but extremely educational. The faculty are amazing and the people are just as great. It's friendly and reminds me of what a "true college campus" is. I learned a lot and had even more fun. Most importantly, I made some of the best friends I will ever have.

Greek life is fun. Students only live on campus for 2 years. Partying is usually thusday-sat nights -- for juniors and seniors its tues-saturday night : )

UD is a semi-diverse campus, but mostly made up of white students. I think a gay student might feel out of place but I think most students feel like they belong. Most students wear jeans or sweats and sweatshirts. Or you see girls in UGGs, leggings, and their NorthFace jackets, which I think is the unofficial uniform of any college girl. Not me however. I think different types of students interact in class, but outside not really. Most UD students are from Delaware, New Jersey or Eastern P.A. Upper middle class seems to be pretty prevalent around UD. I see a lot of Chanel. I haven't really heard many students talk about how much they will earn one day.
