University of Delaware Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about my school is the way it is set up. It is very hard for people to get around and even just figure things out. It snowed on campus recently, and it was horrible to walk around because nothing was plowed. The was the dining halls are set up are pretty bad as well. You can wait in line for twenty minutes, and you don't even know what you are waiting for.

First year students are randomly put into a dorm. You could get a really good dorm with air-conditioning, or a lousy one without air-conditioning, and they both would cost the same price.

The most frustrating thing about the University of Delaware also has to do with the size of it. The campus is huge and sprawling. Some classes you have to walk up to 20 minutes to get to. This causes you to have to leave incredibly early for your classes which is no fun.

All of the things I find frustrating about my school have to do with finances. A four-year university if extremeley expensive for the average person and I feel that the university is very out of touch with this fact. I'm not eligible for need-based financial aid and that leaves me with very few options through my school. I am very willing to work hard for any scholarships or at a job, but my school doesn't offer enough opportunities.

It was frustrating that my classes this semester did not have an online grading log set up. During the course of the semester I was never sure what my grade average was in any given class. I was able to see my final grades online at the end of the semester, but it would have been nice to know throughout the semester. My high school had an online log called "power school" which allowed teachers to post all test and quiz grades, which made it much nicer to keep up to date on progress.

The most frustrating thing about University of Delaware is registering for classes. Sometimes there aren't enough seats in a class for the people who need to take it. (i.e. the class is required for a major, but there aren't enough seats for everyone in the major to enroll)

I am frustrated by having to look in multiple places for an answer. For example, when I have a specific question I sometimes have to talk to multiple professors or spend a great deal of time on the school websites to get a clear answer.

The most frustrating thing about the University of Delaware is the immaturity of the students. I see a lot of people who do not take school seriously and who I know will regret that when they either cannot finish school or choose a major without giving it much thought.

The most frustrating thing about school is its alcohol policy. The punishments are unfair and damaging to a student's ability to succeed.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that the office buildings are so far apart from each other, I feel like they should be close so that it is easier to navigate.
