The balance between social life and educational life is perfect. Students really care about their grades but also value their relationships. Main Street has a ton of amazing food opportunities, the dining hall is good, the gym is amazing, so many programs/clubs to join, a beautiful campus, pretty area, frats/parties if under 21, overall 9.9/10.

as someone who lives in this area and went to school here, it is not worth the time nor the money. This school does not care about students, number 1 priority is them getting more money.

The attitude of the professors here sucks. I’ve been here less than a year and I’m already regretting continuing my education. Before you go to this university look up professors based off of your major if their all crap don’t come here. Oh and it’s a handful of delightful people all in one location. I thought community college was bad HA.

Newark has a heroin epidemic, CHECK THE NEWS about this school. Im a Delaware native and even I didnt know that it could be dangerous on campus as well, until I did. This isnt a castle in the sky. Academics can be made to be way too stressful, even in more basic classes. Unless youre studying S.T.E.M., its probably not the best place to attend
