The atmosphere that is created from its location and its mix of people is overall pleasurable.

Nicole

I brag the most about the nonacademic education I received at University of Delaware. Because the school is so large, I was able to partake it various activities. I took ballet and ballroom dance lessons; I was extremely active in Greek life; I watched the school play every year and attended many concerts of various UD bands and orchestras. I volunteered and participated in many community service endeavors with several UD organizations: soup kitchens, fundraisers, walks etc. I also worked in the Office for Annual Giving, raising money for the school. This was a large, important part of my education.

First, I brag about the diversity of my school. With such a wide variety of people and academics, there is something for everyone. I also tell everyone about the closeness of our campus, even though we are a rather large school.

It's one of the top schools for Chemical Engineering, and the accepted me as a Chemical Engineering major. It has a beautiful campus too.

Ryan

I don't brag very much. I am not that happy with my choice to go to this school, so there is not much for me to brag about.

Jessica

The campus is beautiful and centralized in the town of Newark, DE. There are a lot of restaurants and shops downtown to socialize with friends or grab a bite to eat between classes. The library is a great place to study and the whole campus is WIFI capable. My sorority is the best and helps me as a commuter student to feel connected to campus. My History Education major is challenging, but I have learned to balance my social life with my academics, so I am happy with my classes and professors.

Victoria

Mainly, I brag about how clean the campus is, how fun the weekends are, and how the classes are challenging, but if you show an honest effort and try your hardest, improvements are realized by the professors. Delaware offers a range of class sizes, something my friend's colleges are often lacking, and it is easy to make fast friends with the other students. The atmosphere on campus is positive, even during final exam week, which is a hard feat to accomplish.
