University of Delaware Top Questions

I think so.

Statistically there are a lot of students who are from Delaware. One, it is cheap for them to attend and in the past UD has accepted many students applying from Delaware. While the cost will remain cheap for these students, admissions is making it very hard for Delaware students to be admitted. UD is a big party school, but I feel this comes from the fact that there isn't much else to the state. Sorry to say it but UD is the state...besides DuPont. There is a ton of stuff to do at UD which does not involve drinking and partying. If you look beyond this stereotype you will find an abundance of activities in just about ever area of interest. And Yes, UD is a big school, but definitely manageable. After being at UD for awhile you realize that you create your own, smaller community within a larger one. I feel it is the best of both worlds: You have the big school there if you want it, and then you also have every chance and opporunity to make a smaller community for your friends and yourself.

I wouldn't say they are 100 percent accurate but there is a lot of drinking which goes on around campus.

I think the stereotypes are pretty true. There are some more "normal" or genuine people, but I do think the stereotypes are pretty true.

For the most part

Partially. Many students are actively involved in organizations that are politically involved.

not in general, no

For the most part, yes. There are a lot of Jersey kids who attend this school. An in-state student is a stranger in his hometown.

while that stereotype is probably the majority of students here, I think that is the case in any college campus.

From my point of view, as a student, these stereotypes are fairly true. The college seems to be a school who puts in the effort to make everyone feel welcomed and taken care of.
