OWU is a great school and I would recommend it to anyone! I have met a lot of my closest friends here and I enjoy it very much! Go Bishops

Delaware is small and the town seems to shut down around 8. The school is known for the academics so thats were most of the focus is. It helps to have a car, in case you need supplies and stuff. OWU prides it self on being old which at times get's lame.

OWU's computer network needs some work, and the wireless at the moment is nigh nonexistent, though they seem to slowly be trying to change that. Computer availability at the library and sparse labs can also sometimes be questionable, particularly around finals week, so printing is no fun. Most annoying is just how often the network seems to go down, particularly with the email system, which has more than once failed to send emails for me and others.

Why would you go to OWU instead of Denison/OSU/Miami/Kenyon?
Delaware grows on you in a strange way. At first the town is creepy, the towney's are drunk and smelly, and you feel like a long way from home. But as you make closer friends and discover great, random things/events about the area and the school, you realize that OWU is the ideal college experience. Like a fine wine, the OWU experience gets better with age.

F*ck Denison, do not go there. Everyone at OWU hates Denison and everyone at Denison hates OWU. It is a fun rivalry which makes all sporting events amazing

Residential life sucks. It took two months to get an outlet fixed in the bath room. Two weeks and several emails to get the lightbulb in the overhead light fixture fixed...I got a 60 dollar ticket for waiting to pick students up for a school sponsored trip...Ah!! What else. Quiet hours are from 11 to 7 but for some reason, the garbage people can come on the floor at 6:30 in the morning, banging garbage cans, talking VERY loudly and whistling. My freshmen year I wrote a letter about obtaining a parking permit because I had secured a job 5 miles off campus and needed a place to park--they refused. The thought of transferring has entered my mind a few times for the soul reason that I can't stand reslife. Oh, I wrote an email about housing for next year about a month ago and they still haven't written me back.
