Why did you choose Delaware?  I chose Delaware mainly because of my major. However, Delaware is also a medium-sized school with a great agriculture progam. Also it is relatively close to my home, which makes going home convenient if need be.

What do you like about your experience so far? My experiences so far have been great ones. I have participated in Ag Day for the past two years and will be part of the team running it this year. I am involved in the Agriculture fraternity (Alpha Gamma Rho), which is helping make me a better person.  Also, the faculty here are awesome. There are many knowlegable and talented staff members who are always willing to work with their students. Overall, Delaware is a good choice for meeting new people, participating in many different clubs and activities, and receiving a good education.
