College Prowler Take
By the end of their years here, most students look back and are happy with their choice. They’ve received a good education and generally met some people who they will keep in touch with far into their ‘real’ lives. This love of the school comes about gradually for many students. While some students love it automatically and fit in easily with the relatively homogenous campus, others take longer to find their place and truly start to enjoy themselves.
While many students have a slow start here at Delaware, they all report that once they decided to give it a chance, they found their experience rewarding, not only academically but socially. This University tends to provide a nice balance between a social life and an academic one. There is always plenty of time to hang out and get your work done, so no matter what you are interested in, you have a chance to get it all done. This is the major benefit of attending the University of Delaware.

I really love Delaware. It’s so fun and is an amazing school. There is always so much to do that it might make your head spin. The faculty is great, the students are great, and overall I love it there so much that I wouldn’t think about going somewhere else! |

We have lots of great opportunities here, like summer research or the many study abroad programs. The food is good, and once you’ve made friends, you can generally find something cool to do. I’ve grown to like Delaware quite a bit, and think I made the right decision by going here. |

I loved the University of Delaware. There was nowhere else I would rather have been. It is an amazing school, and I’m really going to miss it. I just graduated, so I’m a little upset about this whole thing. It’s been the best experience of my life, and I would not have done anything differently. |

My overall experience has not been a good one so far. There have been shining moments and great people, but this was not the right college for me. I do not find getting drunk all the time to be a fulfilling way to spend my time. It’s fun, but it gets boring very quickly. It is true that there isn’t much else to do here. I would have preferred a more intellectual atmosphere that prized learning along with one’s social life. Here people forget that their main purpose is to learn; many truly believe that school is second to having a good time. |

I absolutely hated this school the first two years until I started to meet some people who weren’t so typical. Now I am okay with the school, but I know I would have preferred to go somewhere else. I’m taking it for what it is, and searching out those hidden departments, professors, and people that I believe are what college is supposed to be like. |
