University of Delaware Top Questions

this school is predominantly white...different races do interact....most students are from delaware and pennsylvania

Most students wear yoga pants/spandex with t shirts and swearshirts, northfaces, and uggs-classic college girl outfit. I think UD is made up of fairly higher economic backgrounds.

The campus is not very diverse. The students who are diverse stick together and do not branch out of their group. Many, many students are from outside Philly and New York. Students wear a whole range of outfits to class. Some girls wear heels , dresses, and full make-up, while others wear sweats.

I feel like there is a group for everyone. There are tons of student groups and ways to get involved in things on campus. I'm Jewish and participate in activities through the Hillel, but I'm also in a Christian based sorority.

UD is not very diverse, atleast from what I have been around. Most students dress pretty casual for class, a few dress up a little bit more but not really, atleast in my major. UD students are mostly from PA, New york, jersey, a few from maryland, or delaware of course. Ironically there is a stereotype about the delaware kids though. Students are not that political, dont really talk about how much they'll earn one day, although in my major everyone hopes they will make a lot. Most students are from upper middle class backgrounds.

integration and diversity is taken to an extreme - to the point where it does opposite what its supposed to do

Big Greek life and Athlete population Little racial diversity Mostly wealthy students from the North East who like to Party and who are good students

There are many different groups on campus and everyone I know is very understanding and curious about each one. I have heard of a few instances of racism and hate crimes. Someone from a small town or that was home-schooled may feel out of place because it is a pretty large school. Most people dress casually for class, wearing jeans and a casual shirt. Of course there are several people who wear sweats or get dressed up too. Different types of students interact if they have a group project or live together. The dining halls are mostly freshmen and sophomores so it's very mixed and you sit with whoever you know. Most UD students are from DE, PA, NJ, NY, MD. Many students come from well-off middle/upper middle class families. Some students are politically active, but not many that I know in the sciences. Students are predominantly left of center. Only the business majors.

1. they are around and do lots of events and fundraisers on campus, but i have never personally attended any. 2. there is a place for everyone, but generally kids who do not like to go out of their way to get involved/make friends may feel out of place. 3. cute sweats, uggs 4. limited 5. greek, athletic team, eclectic (artsy) ? 6. jersey and delaware 7. most are financially comfortable 8. yes 9. left 10. not regularly

I do not feel that any student would feel out of place at UD. Although some people believe that UD is primarily caucasian upper class students, I disagree. Most students wear casual comfortable clothing to class, nothign out of the ordinary. It's not a fashion show walking down Main Street. Because teh school is slightly mroe expensive, I think that that is reflected in teh student body, but MANY students are there on scholarship opportunities and financial aid. I believe that students are politically aware, but do not fall under one certain umbrella of beliefs. I have never heard students talk about how much money they will earn one day.
