D&E is a beautiful campus where you become part of the D&E family.

D&E is a wonderful college due to the faculty and staff and especially the current president Dr. Mihaylo.
Overall 4
It is a small school, and everyone is ready and willing to help you at any time!
Bad reviews

This school is absolute garbage, the professor don't care about the students and half of then can't teach to begin with. DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL, it's a waste of time, money, and will drain all the happiness out of you.
Overall 1.2
This school steals your money and teaches you pretty much nothing. The administration gives no care in the world about the students. I would not come here if you are looking at colleges. It drains the happiness of all of its students. I was so happy before I came here, now I am depressed. There is nothing to do and it's very unsafe. The food sucks.

I'm currently a freshman here and I'm transferring for the spring semester. Please do not come here unless you're ready to teach yourself everything. The facilities are awful, the food is so gross and not to mention the price of this school is over $150k. Definitely a personal choice but I would never attend this place again.
Overall 1.4
This school is outrageously overpriced and they take very penny you have from you and still are unable to function without donors.
Overall 1.5
Don't go here, this school is a trifecta of loss. You will waste four precious youth years of your life here for a paper mach'e degree that is laughed at in the real world. Add the $120k cost plus not being meaningfully employed all that time is a recipe for a loss that will take 10 years to recover from. Not a real college. Cold and remote.
Overall 1.5
if you want to enjoy college avoid this school completely. don't believe the lies and crap you get fed with you visit. security is overbearing, the administration doesn't care, and i would rather eat wood than eat there. only a few profs are worth listening to. most air heads who give busy work and teach absolutely nothing.
Overall 1.6
D&E professors are against you and do not care about your success. The food will give you GI problems. The atmosphere is lacking positivity.
Overall 1.8
Let's see, if you like having no parking spots, insufferable professors (most not all), insanely bad food, a hot spot for nothing but being fined for parking in a spot that you basically paid for with your 150k tuition, and communal bathrooms that are filled with mold (even though they say it's mildew). This is the place for you!

Due to the college crackdowns on anything that is remotely fun( frats, the icehouse pub) this college sucks. They building are leaky, old, and cold most of the time. They flat out refuse to update, and decide to build new buildings rather than fix the old ones. The library is pretty cool though. Definitely not like it was when I got here.....

if you are a boring person then this is the right school for you!
