I was first drawn to the University of Delaware due to its robust honor's program and vast study abroad programs. I initially entered into college as a general biology major, which I eventually changed to neuroscience with biology and global studies minors. Throughout my time at UD, I met incredible people, was taught by some incredible professors, and was able to study abroad on a safari in Africa. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at this university, however, since it is such a big institution,... Read More it was sometimes difficult to get specific, personalized advisement. I was lucky to be in a relatively small major, so I could discuss my future plans with some of my professors who knew me over several semesters. However, in terms of general advisement, I did not feel very supported.

I really enjoyed college. I met my best friends and learned a lot about independence being away from home. The campus was not huge so it felt more like a community where I was always recognizing faces everywhere I walked. I felt like my degree was unique and had lots of cool hands-on and experiential type of learning. My labs were outdoors and we had classes walking around the farm learning about plants. I had the opportunity to travel abroad to Tanzania and it was life-changing. Overall I feel like... Read More i learned a lot, and enjoyed my time at a fun state school.

The University of Delaware offers a solid overall experience, but it comes with a mix of strengths and drawbacks. Academically, there are some strong programs and many professors who are knowledgeable and genuinely invested in their students. However, the quality of teaching can feel inconsistent depending on the department or course.

The campus itself is יפה and well-maintained, and there are plenty of resources available for students, including libraries, study spaces, and extracurricular activities....

Social life is active, especially if you’re interested in Greek life or campus events, but it may feel limiting for those looking for more diverse or low-key options. Additionally, costs can be high, and it doesn’t always feel like the value matches the price.

Overall, the University of Delaware is a decent choice with some great opportunities, but it may not fully meet expectations in every area.

To sum up my experience at the Unviersity of Delaware: I went into my freshman year without a clue of what I would pursue for my bachelor's degree and then ended up graduating with a criminal justice degree and three minors in the four years of school. Thanks to my peers and professors, I was able to see that I could thrive academically, unlike I did in high school, and also be treated with proper guidance and support throughout my time at the University of Delaware. My biggest regret was not taking... Read More advantage of the dozens of study abroad programs that the university offered and is well known for. Part of why I did not do this was because my last three semesters of college were during the COVID pandemic when all the study abroad programs had to be suspended. Overall, between the many different college degrees, programs, and clubs the university offered their students, I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to spend my college career at the University of Delaware, where I discovered my true potential as a student.

Attending the University of Delaware was both good and bad. It is a historic school with a beautiful campus, exactly what one pictures when thinking about an East Coast university. The university has a wide range of academic programs and student groups. My biggest gripe is that if you do not actively engage with the professors and student body, you can be left behind, and it makes it hard for one to get letters of recommendation and internships. My other issue is the cost of attendance for out-of-state... Read More students and the lack of resources for commuting/transfer students. Overall, the University of Delaware is a great college for those who can afford it and actively take part in everything the university has to offer.

I really loved the University of Delaware. I had a great experience, especially with the UD Honors program. They fully funded 2 of my extra opportunities I pursued in the summer months. Living in the UD Honors Program housing was a highlight of the experience as well. While at school, I completed three internships, studied abroad, was involved in the theater club, and was a Resident Assistant. I fully took advantage of all opportunities.

Delaware makes it really easy to double major and to minor.... Read More I double majored in Economics and English and I was also a dance minor. Once you got to junior or senior year, the classes had about 20 students in them.
