University of Delaware Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at University of Delaware accurate?

Susan

Yes. But what college couldn't be deemed a party school? What matters is that most of the people I know were diligent about their work and are bright, motivated, and successful young adults. Some students obviously had money but it certainly wasn't the majority of the student body.

Emily

While a lot of partying does go on at UD, I never felt that it was more than what goes on at any large state school, and if you are not into that scene, you certainly can avoid it. However, if you are interested in being very involved in some kind of political organizations or activities, UD might not be the best place for you.

Lee

not really.

Katie

Yes, most girls here look the same, it's a shame...You should learn to be yourself in college, not try to fit in and look like everybody else.

Jenna

There is not much in the way of diversity. However, the students don't all come from upper middle class to upper class backgrounds as many people assume.

Steve

Students follow the news and have a general understanding of what's going on concerning university news and politics. However you will have a hard time finding students protesting on UD's campus. Students just don't care that much...The girls are incredible, no doubt about that...More than 60{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the student body is comprised of out-of-state students, which is a good thing because the school lowers its standards when admitting in-state students. Nevertheless, there is a definite distinction between an in-state student and a townie. While many in-state students may not be as smart as out-of-state students, it is not fair to label them townies. Townies are junkies who don't go to college, but still like to linger around campus. They like to squawk at university girls while showing of their tall-tees and backward hats. Gross, and yes, the townie stereotype is accurate.

nope, yes.

Jesse

The drinking/partying isn't as prevalent as it's made out to be. It's there, just not to the extent people think it is.
