University of Delaware Top Questions

The most frustrating thing for me. walking from my dorm room to class and town. After finishing my classes it takes about 10 minutes to get back to my dorm.

The emphasis students place on parties and alcohol. I am not part of that scene and don't fully understand why that lifestyle is so reveered here. I'm here for an education- nothing else- and I wish more students here enrolled in this school for the same reasons I did.

Driving , trying not to a hit a bike or get hit by one.

For me, the most frustrating thing at my school is the fact that there is only one library, and it is at least a 15 minute walk from most parts of campus.

Parties can be a lot of fun but you need to know the right people to get in them sometimes.

The lack of effort the housing department puts into room change requests.

The advisors are not very helpful. They do not focus on the students needs.

I think the most frustrating thing about my school is the scheduling process. They change the computer programs frequently, and the system for scheduling gets changed with it. Also, they have a lot of courses that are only available certain times of the year but yet they only let a small amount of people into the class at a time. This makes it difficult for people to get the courses that they need in order to graduate. I have also had a hard time getting in touch with advisors to help with scheduling.

The most frustrating thing about my school is my financial situation. I currently don't have enough money to keep attending this school. My family has tried getting private loans but we have been denied by every company we tried. When talking to financial aid they kept referring me to other people and I ultimately ended up where I started. So in order to afford school I have to look for scholarships.

Students at this school can sometimes be unfriendly or stuck up. Only some though.

The cost for in-state tuition

The most frustrating thing here for me has been finding friends who don't like to drink at all. Since its a decent sized university I understand the party aspect but I didn't think there would be this many people who do. But eventually you'll find people you just might have to do some searching.

The most frustrating thing about this school is registration and housing. When registration time comes it is a craze trying to get onto the site to get the classes you want or need. Sometimes I cant even get onto the site because there are so many people on at one time. Housing is also frustrating at times. When you dont get your first pick, trying to get into another location is difficult and takes patience.

Coming in as an undecided student, there are not many resources to find a major or career.

Too much focus on gen. ed requirements than taking classes that pertain to your area of study

Alcohol policy = VERY HARSH. Judicial affairs hands strikes out like candy. Also, PARKING. Not enough and it's EXPENSIVE.

I'd say the most frustrating thing is competing against all the other students here for attention from the faculty and staff.

They claim to have this huge commitment to the environment but really there is so much more they could be doing. Also, the dining halls aren't very good. They have very limited option for vegetarians and almost nothing for vaegans. It is frustrating because if you live on campus, you MUST have a dining plan... Unfortunately, dining plans are really expensive--about $3500 for the year. Also, there is very little support for theater for undergraduates. For a school with such an amazing graduate acting program, you would think they would support their undegrads more.

I think that the most frustrating part of school is the finiancial aid aspect. It is very difficult to get financial aid and to speak to someone who is knowledgeable on how to get it and what you need to do in order to maintain it. They do not give you a enough time in order to figure out the situation. They are very quick to send you cancelation dates on enrollement but not very active in helping understand your situation.

The most frustrating thing is playing a varsity sport because it takes so much of your time others things you might want to do are limited.
