University of Delaware Top Questions

Describe the students at University of Delaware.

Danielle

Most students are white, from middle-upper income households and are from PA, NJ, NY, DE or MD. If you're a minority, you might have a harder time finding other people in your minority. But, there are a lot of student associations and I think people are accepting. As for LBGT acceptance, Delaware was rated 4.5 out of 5 in the LGBT-Friendly Campus Climate Index by Campus Pride. Haven, the LGBT group is one of the largest student organizations on campus. Students are somewhat apathetic and care mostly about grades, social lives and groups their involved in. I think any type of student can find a group of people they fit in with because it's such a big campus.

There is a variety of students on campus here. There are students of every race and religion. Most of the students wear the new and trendy clothes around campus as well as a lot of Delaware gear. Most of the students come from wealthy backgrounds and most of them are from the Northeast.

While UD is not the most diverse campus in the US, there are definitely a lot of different people here. The majority of students here are from Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York, most of them coming from middle class students. There are a lot of diverse social groups on campus, but personally I have not gotten involved in them, but I know people who are in them and love them. To class, if it's very early in the morning, students will be wearing sweatshirts and sweatpants. But usually by mid-day students are in casual clothes like jeans.

Rich, white bros. There's some diversity but it doesn't stick out. That is relative, however. I went to a HS that was 98{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} white so I feel like it's diverse here but, in reality, it isn't.
