No place Id rather call home. The sense of community found throughout the entire campus is indescribable. From classes, to organizations your involved in, to daydrinks, to parties in the ghetto, to Bargos, tims, or flannys on a Thursday night, its ALL amazing. Never ever want to leave. Make the best decision of your life and choose UD!

I've loved my time at UD, and truly would not change a thing about the school. It is big enough to have a ton of opportunities for students, the community of professors and students is awesome, and it is a beautiful campus. Only downfall is the football program, could use some revamping and support, but otherwise its great!

Each year this place finds new ways to empty your pockets while refusing to fund smaller sports programs, academic clubs, and academic projects. Your money would go 10x further at a State school.

The people (students) are the only reason this school isn't absolute garbage. Covid brought in a bunch of part time professors that aren't half as good as typical professors. Getting any assistance or resources from the school is nearly impossible.
Overall 1.3
This place went through a ton of changes in the past few years. Loved it when I started, but felt like I couldn't get out of there soon enough by the end.
