University of Delaware Top Questions

Coming from New York City, I feel that UD is not diverse at all. There is very little interaction between ther races. I feel that any student that is not caucasian might feel a litle out of place here. Most UD students are from the neighboring states, with well off financial backgrounds. I think that there are some students that are politically aware but not a large majority.

everyone here is white

I feel that i have a bias opinion in terms of this question. I dont go to the dining halls so this scenerio really isnt normal to me. I have seen many different races on campus but for the most part i am surrounded by middle/upper class caucasian students. My town is very small and wealthy with not much diversity so all the different faces here was shocking at first but is now refreshing.

Students are very trendy-- typical Ugg, North Face, designer jean combo. Not necessary to fit it but it is kind of the norm. Students are predominately left but not very politically active unless they are studying politics or related subjects.

Since the University of Delaware is not that diverse, many times the campus can seem "segregated" based on cultures. Unfortunately, many students have negative experiences with racism and hate crimes.Also out of state students and in state students often do not get along as well.

My sorority is great. i think there is something for everyone here. jeans or sweatpants. definitely. Most students are from Jersey NY or PA. I've never noticed financial backgrounds before. Some students are politically aware. Usually Left. not that I've ever heard.

I haven't had any problems with any "groups" on campus. My roommates are very similar to myself. I don't think any student would feel out of place here. Most students wear jeans and a t-shirt to class, although I wear sweatpants the majority of the time. Most people sit in the dining hall with people from their dorm floors. Most UD students are from New Jersey and Long Island. Financially i'd said the majority of students are upper middle class. My friends are very politically aware and active.

Our school is very mainstream white kids, but there is a little of everything. Students wear sweatpants and UGGs to class. Most students are from NY, NY, PA, and MD. Upper middle class.

there is diversity on campus, not too much but there are many student organizations that are geared towards specific groups. most students are very casual to class. jeans and a t shirt or sweat shirt. its the best. different types of students interact during class and things like that or during labs. at a dining hall you'd have kinda nerdy people who look really smart, the annoying loud kids who bang on tables and yell for no good reason, your typical 19, 20 year olds just laughing and eating then you'd have a "group" as described above in the question. most students are from nj, ny, maryland, va, pa and delaware. most people i meet are middle to upper middle class. there are groups of people who are politically active but i wouldn't call it a politically active school. most people i know are left or center. and most of my friends don't talk about how much we'll earn one day.

I dont think our school is very ethnically diverse. students wear all types of things to class. msotly sweats or jeans. different types of students interact. The so-called stereotypical "freak" may feel out of place.
