On-campus jobs

There is an abundance of drinking on campus which I'm okay with, but there is also an abundance of drug use, which I strongly dislike. There is a certain sorority that is notorious for their cocaine use. My freshman year a girl in the building next to me died from a heroin overdose. Every weekend there are several people who are taken to hospital for drinking way too much. I'd say 25{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the campus smokes pot. If someone wanted something, they could easily get their hands on it on this campus.

The only problem I have come in contact is the housing services. Not the people themselves but just the way that they, in general, handle their business. I had the worse roommate situation as a freshman. The way that they expected us to live together after we showed a dislike in each other. They expected us to use different rooms for a couple of days because they couldn't do anything.

There was alot of construction and there were crimes in the town by locals against students.

Bureaucracy. Dealing with the administration can be a painful process. Its clear that things like appearances often come before what is really best for students. Student's concerns are not always taken seriously.

The worst thing about the school is that the staff believes that all students need to be aware of the 'plight and discrimination' that the minorities around us have endured. In doing so they single out the minorities and do exaclty what they tell us not to do. There is too much focus on the issue of race, when the vast majority of the students at UD are white anyway.
