University of Delaware Top Questions

- Whatever race, religion, sexual orientation you are, Delaware has a group for it. Although it was much more common to see people of the same race hanging out together, rather than interacting with other groups. I'm not saying interaction didn't occur--it did--but it was not uncommon to see a huge group of one ethnicity sitting together for food or walking on campus. - Most students wore jeans to class. Although, on a lot of the girls they were designer jeans, but that's a different story. -Most Delaware students are from the mid-Atlantic, particularly New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and, of course, Delaware. When I met people from places like Colorado and Washington State, I was curious as to why they chose UD of all places. - Some are politically active, most are liberal. - I don't think people talked about future salaries, but then again I wasn't friends with frat boys.

Student body is mostly composed of students from the Northeast and would say campus is made up of students from middle class or upper middle class backgrounds. Students are social but population is rather uniform.

Most UD students are from PA, NY, NJ, and DE. I think students are predominately left winged.

I wish there were things/groups/articles to get me more politically aware of what is going on in the world. I don't have time to watch the news, so it would be nice to read about it in a school newspaper article.

All experiences are positive. Most students wear jeans or are very casual. They get more dressed up to go out.

Different racial/religious groups tend to seclude themselves within their own groups. It's just how it is. I don't think it's a racist issue, I just think people are more familiar hanging out with their own kind. Different kinds of students do interact, but you definitely see certain groups segregate themselves in the student center and dining halls. Students are typically left wing, but politics aren't discussed that much on campus.

There are definitely segregated dorms, and housing. there are historically african american frats, but at the same time there is a lot of good mixing going on. Racism is a non issue in general however.

LOTS of religious diversity here.

All of these questions have extremely varied answers. There are so many different types of people and religions at UD. It's a very diverse campus and there's a little something for everyone. The only differentiation is with certain clubs and definately greek life. Most of those in greek life separate themselves from others. Most students, as stated before, are wealthy.

I was not involved in any groups on campus aside from different intermural sports, if that counts. Most students are in sweats during early morning and afternoon classes, but there are those few that are always dressed up. Different types of students definitely interact. Four tables in the dining hall: 1= group of girl friends, 2= group of boys on same hall, 3= friends from high school all going to UD, 4= mix of boys and girls. Most students at UD I think are from out of state, the NJ, NY, PA and MD area. Middle class financial backgrounds to upper middle class I would say are present. Students are for the most part politically aware and active, some more than others. I believe students do discuss how much they will earn one day.
