University of Delaware Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Carolina

I wish i knew more about the transportation around campus. Being a student that needs to fly, it was inconvienent not knowing how to get to the airport and having a cheap way of getting to a nearby airport. I wish they described or researched more about how one could get to the airport easily.

The school is much more demanding than I had anticipated.

I wish I would have known how easy it was to make friends here. I was worried that making friends would be a slow process, but at University of Delaware, I had best friends within the first week.

Which courses were necessary, which were really just a waste of time. The type of students that go here - what people do in their free time. What the dining hall food was really like (terrible). That certain teachers / classes are just ones you have to deal with until you're done the semester. the demands of certain clubs

Rob

Being able to navigate through red tape is a huge part of success here.

I wish I had known how horrible the parking situation is at UD. Everything depends on how many credits you have. Underclassmen are royally screwed over if they plan to have their car on campus, and the buses are unreliable. 6 of them will come all at once and then you may not see one for over a half hour. Also, each bus travels a different route, so you may have to take 3 buses to get where you need to be.
