University of Delaware Top Questions

I wish I had realized there are so many academic paths to take as far as choosing more than one major and slecting multiple minors.

I wish I better understood the opportunity of being given an education. It certainly is not cheap, or to waste.

Before attending college I wish I knew what the stress level would be like. Being in college especially the University of Delaware caused an enormous amount of stress. I felt everyday I had no time to do anything i spent many nights awake until 3 or 4 in the morning doing homework or studying for an exam. If i knew college was going to be so stressful I definitely would have found a better way to mange my time

Before entering the University of Delaware, I was undecided as to what major I should chose. I wish I had known prior to enrolling that many of the majors I was interested in, such as nursing and elementary education, had tight schedules in order to graduate in four years. Due to the inflexibility of the requirements for some majors, there are limitations on what classes a student can take. My wish would have been to be aware of these restricitions before I was in college.

I wish I knew that people left for the weekend and went home. My first semester was very lonely because I was not prepared for that. People went to college with their high school friends and seemed to be very insular in terms of thinking about making new friends. I did join a sorority and instantly had a bunch of friends so that was a good experience for me and made all the difference in terms of having a social life.

Coming to the Unversity of Delaware after attending Quinnipiac University. It was a lot tougher for me to get ajusted to the new campus and the harder courses in Delaware.

The workload is sometimes overwhelming. You have to constintly keep doing your work.

I transfered to University of DE from a community college. I wished that I was better prepared in test taking. It was an adjustment coming from a community college. I am a first generation college student in my family. I am still learning how to be a sucessful college student.

I wish that I had known the way to get around campus.

I wish I had known that the vast majority of students at UD are partiers. My freshman year, my roommate would stumble in drunk and high all the time. The atmosphere at UD makes it hard to study. It also make me think rather distastefully about recommending it to any one.

I wish i knew more about the transportation around campus. Being a student that needs to fly, it was inconvienent not knowing how to get to the airport and having a cheap way of getting to a nearby airport. I wish they described or researched more about how one could get to the airport easily.

The school is much more demanding than I had anticipated.

I wish I had known it rains alot in Delaware because I forgot an umbrella and had to buy one to walk to classes. Other than that, this school is everything I hoped for.

that more of the classes are 100+ than i was expecting.

its diversty rate was down

I wish I would have known how easy it was to make friends here. I was worried that making friends would be a slow process, but at University of Delaware, I had best friends within the first week.

Rape statistics

Which courses were necessary, which were really just a waste of time. The type of students that go here - what people do in their free time. What the dining hall food was really like (terrible). That certain teachers / classes are just ones you have to deal with until you're done the semester. the demands of certain clubs

Being able to navigate through red tape is a huge part of success here.

I wish I had known how horrible the parking situation is at UD. Everything depends on how many credits you have. Underclassmen are royally screwed over if they plan to have their car on campus, and the buses are unreliable. 6 of them will come all at once and then you may not see one for over a half hour. Also, each bus travels a different route, so you may have to take 3 buses to get where you need to be.
