This was my first and only choice because i had to stay in Delaware. I do like the community that ud is placed in. The campus is big yet quite beautiful . Anyone can feel right at home at this university.

The campus was amazing, it was a mid-sized college, and it was on the east coast.

This video was taken near the fountain on the South Green and features a student answering the questions, “What is your favorite movie?” “What is your favorite class you've taken so far?” and “What do you do with an hour to kill on campus?”

I seem to think that my school is very similar to other state universities around the country. The thing that seems to separate it is that it does not attract people from far away and tends to only attract students from nearby areas.

Stephen

I'm not sure what's unique about my school... honestly, I haven't visited many others. What I can tell you though is when I visited Delaware, I got a feeling that this school was just "right." I can't really explain it; I just knew it was a perfect fit for me. And now that I'm going into my final year, I still feel the exact same way. So I guess that's what's unique: the feeling I get just by being here.

Molly

It is located perfectly in the middle of many big cities, and there is so much to do both on and off campus.

Mike

UD had everything: a winning football tradition, great places to eat in town, fun bars (although some since then are gone), academic programs, several extracurriculars, life-changing study abroad programs, an independent student newspaper, a variety of on-campus eateries and proximity to Philly, Baltimore and the Delaware beaches. My advice to all in-coming Blue Hens is get involved! join clubs, look into Greek life, go to sport games, go to lectures, join political or religious clubs, and do a study abroad program. One bit of advice though: get knowledgeable, learn everything you can about UD before coming, whether it's your degree requirements, student government, places to eat, places to take your parents, what dorms you'd prefer, where important offices or departments are, etc. The more you know ahead of time, the less lost and overwhelmed you'll be when you arrive.

Jordan

I LOVE UD!!!

Kristen

I studied abroad in Australia/New Zealand during the winter session of 2006 and it was by far the best experience of my life. Not only did I learn a lot and see an amazing part of the world, but I met and became friends with people that I know I will be friends with forever. It was also a great experience because coming back and starting the spring semester I had made 35 new friends and there was atleast one of them in everyone of my classes. It was great to know more people around campus and the bump into people everywhere I went. I am the strongest advocate of UD's study abroad program, and I wish that I could have experienced it more than just twice. I do not feel it should be a graduation requirement to study abroad, but I believe everyone who is interested should take full advantage of what UD has to offer because it is very unique and unforgettable.

GO UD! BEST 4 YEARS OF MY LIFE.

Jamie

I loved UD and Dan Mesure! :)

Erika

I think that the Strike policy is incredibly out of control. I also believe that students are afraid to call 911 for a friend that may be in danger (from drinking etc.) because they do not want that friend to get in trouble. This is a horrible thing because it is putting students in serious danger!

Liz

The food!! Delaware needs to improve their oncampus food options. But I hear we are a lot better than other schools...

Caitlin

Delaware is the best. I received an excellent education and created friendships with people that I will hold on to for life.

Nick

Study abroad is very big here. About 40{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of all students study abroad and love it. Many far away out of state students come here because of that reason. Dining halls and athletic facilities for students need to be bigger.

Jen

nope

Megan

Delaware is full of students who didn't get into their first choice. We all agree it's the best choice we never made. Delaware may have been a bit of an accident but it's the best thing that has happened to me.

Lauren

best 4 years ever!

Alex

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

melissa

I love Delaware. It was by far the best four years of my life, and I can truly say that of all of my friends, I had one of the best, if not the best, college experience. It is a great atmosphere to learn in, as well as to live life in. I wouldn't change a single thing about my college experience.

Melanie

Here's my advice-I'm in grad school now and it's not nearly as fun or exciting as college so... DO well in school and be responsible but spend lots of time with friends, make tons of memories, take lots of pictures, party, stay up late, and take the college scene for all it's worth because-I hate to say it-it's over before you know it. Best of luck wherever you may go!

Peter

promote dan mesure.

Brian

Nothing else really. There seems to be the stigma that we're all stuck up, bratty white kids but there's only a handful of kids truly like that. Most people I've met at pretty accepting.

Jimbo

Delaware is an awesome time, and a great school. Managing your time will be your biggest challenge. I realize I had a unique experience because I could get by in classes without trying too hard. Know your limits, and if you can't drink 4 days a week and pass your classes, don't try. You're there for an education, but having a good time is going to come with it. It won't be a good time if you fail out. It's better to stay in one weekend and pass your classes than to go out and ruin your life.

Alexis

UD is an amazing school. It's beauitful as a campus and as a community. I could go into a lot more detail on all the positive things of this school but I don't have the time. There are negatives of course, but what school doesn't have negatives? The positives make up for it x10. The best way I can describe UD is like this: All of my friends attended college. All of them are home now after graduating. All of them never say they miss school, never go visit, never speak about it. I am all UD and they know it. I have decided to stay down here for graduate school because I love it so much. There is no denying the fact that I have had a much better college experience than most of the people I know...thanks to UD.

Julianne

Sometimes I feel like all the people look the same and if you look any different, people look at you weird. I think people at this school take themselves too seriously.

Dan

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.

Lindsey

UD IS THE BEST SCHOOL EVER!!!
