Our school is settled in a smaller town with a slower lifestyle. Delaware is a small, close knit state. It's very easy to fit in here and find your place. The campus is easy to walk through and has a historic beauty. It's an academic challenge so you've got to have the self control to study instead of going out to the many bars and restuarants on mainstreet.

The University of Delaware is unique because it provides great opportunities for Delaware residents concerning financial aid. In fact, with programs like the SEEDs program many Delaware residents can obtain their associates degree from the University of Delaware for only the cost of books. The University of Delaware gives Delawareans the edge and is a fabulous place to become immersed in the arts and culture.

I like the location of the campus. It is in Newark, which is a smaller city. It's located only a few minutes from Wilmington and is also very close to other major cities like Philadelphia, Washington, , Baltimore, and New York City.

More opportunities then the small schools I looked at and more friendly and welcoming then the big schools.

I love Delaware. You will too.

The Resident Advising program in the dorms is very poor. There is a lack of peer and faculty support in the living areas. Better support academically. The dorms are poorly policed when it comes to alcohol despite a lot of lip-service from the administration. The school really needs to pay more attention to what goes on in the dorms and socially among the students. Academically things are different. A lot of great majors, great teachers, and great courses. The sports and location of the school are also great. Overall I like it but wish they would pay more attention to the partying and alcohol. It makes it uncomfortable for kids that don't drink.

The University of Delaware offers a wide variety of majors and areas of study. Ranging from majors in Art or Psychology to majors in Biochemistry or Animal Science to majors in International Business or Political Science, there is a wealth of possiblities to appeal to the diverse interests of all UD students. Additionally, UD offeres a multitude of extracirriculuar activites, including intramural and club sports, various clubs and organizations, and volunteer and research opportunities. There is something to appeal to the interests and passions of all students at UD.

It is a large campus with a warmer climate and has a good reputation for being a good school.

What I found unique about my school was that it can be as big or small as you want it to be. For example, if you choose to involve yourself in greek life you feel like you know a lot more people on campus. There are also plenty of different activities to get yourself involved in, we even have a chocolate lover's club! No matter what kind of person you are there are so many people here that you will meet and so many different things you never imagined yourself trying, but once you get here you do!

My school hosts groups of very intelligent students. The administrators at the school strive to do the best for the students and accompany them in their dreams for after college.

University of Delaware is unique in that the variety of people and majors you can choose is endless. There are no limits on what you want to pursue and everyone has the ability to succeed if they take advantage of all the things the University offers. This school takes pride in making it possible for professors and students to work together in the classroom and through research. I never imagined that I would learn so much during my time at University of Delaware! Go Blue Hens!

The University of Delaware is a very large college, so there are endless possibilities when it comes to majors, sports, and campus activities.

University of Delaware was founded by some of the signers of the Declaration and we named a lot of our residence halls after men such as John Dickinson, Caesar Rodney, and George Read.

It is a really nice campus with a lot of opportunities to succeed.

We were the first school to do study abroad. We have a great walking campus in a small college town connected to major cities like Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York. We have an amazing honors program. The people around here are very friendly and the students are supportive of each other (not too cutthroat) but the work is still challenging.

To begin with, the campus is simply beautiful. The Green, which is the central part of the University, is teeming with flowers, tall trees, and fountains. The students here are also generally fair and nice. I have never had an issue with any kind of bullying and name calling. The classes are generally small, with about twenty to thirty students in a class. We have great athletics and our students have great pride in the school. In short, the University of Delaware is a great school that offers alot to everyone.
Brittany
My school is unique because the campus is absolutely gorgeous with its landscaping and brick buildings.
Shelby
Within just a matter of months, the University of Delaware has become my home away from home. I believe that this university is different compared to all other schools because no one else can compete when it comes to the campus, the people, and the comfort level of University of Delaware. I usually get homesick when I am not around my family, however, I have yet to feel this way while being at Delaware. I know I am living in a safe environment, and whether it is the students or teachers, I know I have people I can turn to.

University of Delaware is not what I expected from a typical college. There are many support programs that help students meet their need academically and socially. Many of my professors and councilors have stressed the importance of networking. They also give advice on how to be successful in college . University of Delaware also has a program called FYE (First Year Experience), which is a class that helps freshmen learn more about their majors. University of Delaware has many resources to help students be successful including writing centers and many tutoring opportunity. I thought most colleges were less interactive with students.

Delaware is a very big school, but it has a campus that provides intimacy. There is a good education program, but there is also the green it relax and take in some fresh air. Although there are not too many activities outside of the college to participate in, Delaware keeps its students active.
