University of Delaware Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of Delaware? Why?

Gia

I would consider the worst thing about my school is that they do not provide enough financial aid and seem to increase the tuition every year.

Jeremi

The worse thing about the school is that the campus is big, so when you need to get somewhere and the shuttle buses are running slow, you may have to walk a long distance.

Nicole

I consider the distance some of the freshmen dorms are from the main campus the worst thing about my school. I don't like the fact that my fellow peers and I have to walk between 15-20 minutes to get to some of our classes, especially for our early morning classes. In nice, warm weather the walk can be good, but when one might be rushing to class in the cold weather it's not so nice.

I think the worst thing about my school is probably the location. I grew up in the suburbs, and it has always been my dream to go to a city school where there is a lot to do. I chose my university not based off of geographical location, but because I really love the university However, the biggest downfall of my school is that there is not a city nearby that I could go to to attend a play or see a museum. There isn't as much to do on my campus because there is no city surrounding it.

Denisse

The worst thing about my school is the dining hall food. They repeat the same meals over and over, and the food is not good. They should also have healthier foods to help students avoid the "freshman fifteen".

Frances

The freedom that I have as a college student has been both the best and the worst thing. In high school, my mother set the rules and my schedule. As a college Freshman, I make my own schedule decisions. It is really easy to make mistakes. At "UD" there is no one to tell you when to study or not to socialize when it is time to work. I had to become an adult in just one semester! I don't know if it is the same at other colleges, but it is that way at mine.

Christina

The worst thing about my school is the amount of financial aid that students receive. This takes a lot of opportunties away from students.

David

The worst thing about the school would be the lack of a winning football team. Sounds strange but such an achievement tends to bring the school together under one mantle. Two years ago when the school went to the finals and won, the amount of brotherhood (and sisterhood) present on the school grounds was palpable. Random greetings with everyone on the paths, everyone was beaming, it was the greatest school spirit moment. There is a base level of school spirit, but at that time it was ridiculous.

Victoria

I really do not have anything to truly complain about my school. I do think that if campus policies weren't as strict, then there wouldn't be a fear to go out and have fun.

Teagan

There really isn't anything horribly wrong about UD.
