University of Delaware Top Questions

I do not think my school has many bad things.

There's no air conditioning in some of the dorms.

The worst part about the University of Delaware is definitely the cost of tuition. As an out-of-state student, tuition is ridiculously expensive. Be wary as an out-of-state student, you will probably have an exorbitant amount of debt when you graduate as I will.

The University of Delaware is a fairly large school that is located in the middle of Newark, Delaware. Although University of Delaware and Newark police strive for public safety, the City of Newark is not the safest place. There have been countless cases of theft and assault that occurs late at night, especially on the weekend. To combat this, students are encouraged walk in groups late at night and be aware of emergency phones that have been placed throughout the campus. Despite this danger, the University of Delaware is still a fantastic University that is constantly improving itself.

I consider the difficulty the worst part. But if it werent for the difficulty, it wouldnt be ranked so highly.

I think that the worst thing about my school from my overall experience is the lack of support with advisors. Each time I went to an advisor for help it seemed as if they circled around my question. I have heard this from other students as well. It made the process a little more difficult and I had to seek out the help of a professor instead of my advisor.

The worst thing about my school is the public transportation available to places off-campus. Perhaps it is my own unique experience biasing my opinion, however there are no trains or buses that go to my home in central New Jersey. Furthermore, any buses or trains to the city are painstakingly expensive, so sometimes it can feel a bit stuffy on campus. It is also extremely expensive to have a car on campus, so even individual transportation home can be limited.

It seems to rain so much! It sucks when it is so cold and raining and you have to walk to class.

The school is very diverse... but only if you know where to look. For the most part it is full of cookie-cutter sorority girls/ frat boys. They all act, dress, talk, and party the same way. If you are interested in that kind of social life, whether occassional or often, it is the right school. otherwise, it is annoying. Many times they are distracting to those who actually have to work to earn their degree.

There is a drinking problem that allows students to pass things they really should fail.

I do not consider anything that bad at all.

I believe the worst thing about my school is educational guidance. My school makes it a point for students to not be pressured in choosing a specific major their freshamn or sophmore year. It is widely accepted to be undecided for underclassman. However, I belive this is a financial advantage to the university. When many students are undecided they usually do not graduate on time unless they take an enormous amount of credits or take summer and winter classes. Classes in semesters other than in fall or spring means more money for the school.

My school is very large. Which in result, we have large classes. It is difficult for the professor to know everyone in the class and I feel that if they did then student would learn better.

Social life, Greek life system is not well-run, too controlled, no alcohol allowed, police are out to get you,

The worst thing about my school is the overall quality of the student body. Sometimes I feel like many of the people that go here are shallow and come to party only without a clear direction in life.

Nothing, I absoultely love everything about the school.

I think the worst thing about the University of Delaware is it's lack of diversity. Unlike most larger schools that have a variety of students migrating from all areas of the United States and even other countries, Delaware's student base is mainly pooled from neighboring highschools. At Delaware the college experience is more like a continuation of high school rather than a new enlightening experience with new people.

There is nothing bad about my school because the teachers are great and help us students when we need it.

It's only four years.

The large size is really something that takes getting used too. It poses alot of complexities.
