Why did you choose Delaware? I chose the University of Delaware because every student I talked to was loaded with pride and spirit for UD. From football games to soccer games and even in the classroom, students and faculty were excited to be here.  I also like the University because it is a large school with students from all over the country, yet the campus is still small enough you can walk the whole thing.

What do you like about your experience so far? What I like most about the University of Delaware is that the University offers anything you want to get involved with. It has opened my eyes to so many new activities that I might not have ever got involved with if I hadn't come to Delaware.  I also enjoy the fact that I have some classes with 30 or fewer students, and I can get to know my professor on a one-on-one basis.  Lastly, what I like most about Delaware is that it is big enough where I can meet someone new everyday, yet small enough where I maintain a solid group of friends.
