Molly

People who did not attend a high school that prepared them for college. People that can't balance school work and social activities.

Robert

Someone who does not take themselves or their work seriously, because UD is one of the most academically challenging universities on the East Coast.

Whitney

Someone who is easily distracted and cannot balance their time between school work and their social time. It is a fairly large university with TONS of things going on all of the time. You definitely have to be more than willing to focus and get your work done first, and THEN make time for friends, sports, and parties.

Julian

People who are unwilling to join activities and be an active member of the community should not attend this university. There are over 250 registered student organizations that are geared to united the University of Delaware community.

Gregory

There is not anyone in the world that should not attend or at least consider attening this school.

Molly

Someone looking for a wide variety of people and diverse student body. Also, a student looking to form personal relationships with every professor.

Vanessa

The kind of person who isn't ready to branch out. Delaware is small and you have be outgoing in a sense to find the opportunities. There are lots of them here but you have to have a go-getter mentality and try new things.

Jessie

Someone who isn't very social, or outgoing would probably have a difficult time adjusting to this college. Also people who do not care about their grades and classes would definetly not succeed in this school

Jennifer

People who prefer higher levels of diversity (both economic and ethnic) might find it difficult to adjust on a campus that has a lot of upper-middle class white kids, but I would still say come anyway, your presence is badly needed and things will only get better. Plus, there really is something for everyone here, regardless of your background you can find a support system to suit your needs, and besides people here are pretty open and accepting.

Laura

UD is not a very diverse school. IF you're looking for a school with a population that's 97{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} white, then this school is for you. If you're looking for a suburb that still has a night life, Newark is for you. We're also in close proximity to Philly, NYC, and DC which gives the students opportunities to be in a city without living there.

Kerry

When walking around on campus, sometimes a person won't see many people they know because there are so many people attending and the campus is so large. If you are bothered by this, and would like more of a community feel to a school, you shouldn't attend UD. If you want to know everyone in your class, you should go to a smaller school.

lauren

someone who is close minded and not very unattractive. people at this school tend to be a bit shallow. if you have trouble socially it might not be the best fit for you

Lisle

a person who is not open to new ideas, people, cultures, etc.

Kattie

Any one who is intimidated by relatively large classes and does not want to work hard.
