Is the stereotype of students at University of Delaware accurate?

Megan

Not 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} accurate but believable when you see and spend time with the student population

Alex

Not really. We know how to party but that's not all we do. There are lots of people with money, yes, but not even close to everyone is rich.

Alex

used to be a party school - they are cutting down a lot by closing bars and restricting greek life and althetic team social events. there's a lot of diversity, but the same types of people generally hang out together and don't intermingle.

Melanie

Hmm, there are definitely a decent amount of NYers, and I'd say a fair share of Guidos, but not a ton. As for sororities and frats, some of the stereotypes ring true at times. And I did feel that there were plenty of goodlooking people on campus!

Peter

for the most part yes

Kyle

Most of the students are from Delaware and middle to upper class. However it's not very difficult to find a niche as long as you look hard enough. The mixture of personalities is great.

Brian

For the most part, yes. But the apathetic part gets overblown.

Jimbo

Yeah... we're friggin college students who aren't hippy bums. Get over it. There are groups for people interested in those things, but thankfully Delaware isn't too caught up in them.

Elena

To an extent. I think all colleges are party schools - even Harvard, MIT and Yale. You're going to have a party wherever you have 18-year-olds on their own.

Cody

There is a significant lack of diversity on campus and the majority of students do come from Delaware, Maryland, or New Jersey.
