I am a freshman here at UD and am enjoying all my classes immensely. Each professor expects you to do your best and won't cut you slack, but they also are willing to listen to you if you have a problem or have a question.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Honestly when I first arrived for freshman orientation I was concerned about finding a really good group of friends. I shouldn't have been concerned! The people here are great and very friendly.
After being here for a couple months and living through Charity week and going to the weekly music at TGIT, I can testify that there are so many opportunities to do things on and off campus. In my hall we have biweekly movie nights where we just relax and get to know each other better. I never thought college could be this much fun!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Most colleges are very expensive and UD is no exception, but like several other reviewers said: do really well in high school so you will qualify for scholarships. After talking to many people, a lot of us are here on generous scholarships. The quality education you receive here is worth the cost though. It is very rare to find a school that across the board uses original texts for the classes. You don't learn history from a text book, you read John Adams, Herodotus etc. I would recommend UD to anybody who wants to really learn.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Do your best and remember that knowledge is better than book smart. I would also recommend applying at the Early Application deadline in November so that you have a better chance at scholarships and acceptance.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
I chose to come to UD because of the Catholic identity and the liberal arts education and many of my fellow freshman came for the same reasons.
