Most students are white, from middle-upper income households and are from PA, NJ, NY, DE or MD. If you're a minority, you might have a harder time finding other people in your minority. But, there are a lot of student associations and I think people are accepting. As for LBGT acceptance, Delaware was rated 4.5 out of 5 in the LGBT-Friendly Campus Climate Index by Campus Pride. Haven, the LGBT group is one of the largest student organizations on campus.
Students are somewhat apathetic and care mostly about grades, social lives and groups their involved in.
I think any type of student can find a group of people they fit in with because it's such a big campus.

There is a variety of students on campus here. There are students of every race and religion. Most of the students wear the new and trendy clothes around campus as well as a lot of Delaware gear. Most of the students come from wealthy backgrounds and most of them are from the Northeast.

While UD is not the most diverse campus in the US, there are definitely a lot of different people here. The majority of students here are from Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York, most of them coming from middle class students. There are a lot of diverse social groups on campus, but personally I have not gotten involved in them, but I know people who are in them and love them. To class, if it's very early in the morning, students will be wearing sweatshirts and sweatpants. But usually by mid-day students are in casual clothes like jeans.

Rich, white bros. There's some diversity but it doesn't stick out. That is relative, however. I went to a HS that was 98{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} white so I feel like it's diverse here but, in reality, it isn't.

Kathleen
It is difficult to know everyone in their freshman year, but I would say that a lot of people are silly and like to party, but there are some that are devoted to making their name stick in more educational ways.
Rachael
My classmates are a very eclectic group of people; they all have different heritages, religions, and personal backgrounds as well as varrying personalities, and that, I think, is what makes my classmates the most interesting and the college experience the best.
Frances
My classmates are a very diverse group! There are some that I know since junior high school. These are my confidantes, my support system and the first that I turn to when it is time to relax and have fun. There are others that I met just this year who have made an impression on me. There is one young man who is from Cameroon, Africa. I have learned alot about his country. Another classmate is from China. She cooks authentic Chinese food in a dorm kitchen and it was wonderful! It was unlike anything I had ever tasted!
