Overall, the students at this school are very open-minded, so I feel someone who is very close-minded or from a very sheltered background would feel out of place or alienated at this university. However there is such a range of students on campus from so many different backgrounds, ethnicities, races, religious affiliations, etc; but I feel the most prevalent background is white middle and upper class students which leads people to say that our school is not diverse when in reality it very much is. We have thousands of international students from all around the world-- over 200 from Saudi Arabic alone! And this diversity leads students to be very socially and politically aware; peaceful demonstrations and protests are often held on campus on issues generally defined as more left winged liberal topics like abortion, sexual assault and the like.

We are not the most diverse school, but we represent a wide variety of students.

The similiarities found within a group of my peers makes the diversity between us practical unbelievable, yet these likenesses also highlight the beauty and amazement of blending different ideas, perspectives, and beliefs into a familial closeness.

Students from all over the world come to University of Delaware to study. Students are eager to learn about their major as well as making friends. During the week you can find most of them in a study hall reading. On the weekend you can find them participating in extracurricular activities such as intermural volleyball or dance. One characteristic that brings the entire campus together, faculty and students, is their love for sports. Even if an individual doesn't like sports when they first arrive at UD, upon graduation, they will be always rooting for the Blue Hens.

The University of Delaware is, in my own opinion, primarily caucasian. But, I have not met anyone here to this day that is racist towards any ethnicity or religion in any way thus far. People here are very welcoming and accepting of others and it really makes you feel "at home" when you're studying here. Most students are primarily from NJ, NY, DE, and PA.
