Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

If you are trying to get around town, it is extremely easy. The UD shuttle buses run every 20 minutes, and take you pretty much anywhere students need to go. Buses are often unnecessary, as pretty much everything is within walking distance, depending on how much time you have to get there. Nothing is really that far away that you can’t find a way to get there.

Most people don’t use the city transportation because the UD service is adequate, but there are some die-hard shoppers who take the Dart Bus out to the mall. This is a convenient and inexpensive way to get out of Newark for an afternoon. Getting even further away from campus can be a bit of a challenge. The nearest large airports are an hour away in either direction. If you choose to take the train, you only need to go as far as Wilmington, and then you can get anywhere you please. On a whole, transportation is easy and accessible to students.

Great Transportation

The university of Delaware has free shuttle buses running at all times that travel everywhere you would need to go on campus as well as many of the off campus housing developments. There are also many different parking permits you can choose from if you live off campus and all of these lots have shuttle buses that will take you to campus but many are within walking distance. The DART bus also runs through campus and there is also a train station for easy transportaion for those who travel by trin to get back home.

Go Everywhere on Foot

Everything on campus is accessible by foot and Main Street runs directly through campus. During peak class hours buses run from the dorm areas to main class areas every 15 or so minutes. Very convenient.

Transportation at UD

The transportation by bus to classes are pretty convenient. They are usually always on time but you still have to make sure you leave yourself enough time to get to your class on time because sometimses they can run late or get stuck in traffic. The transportation to off campus places like the grocery stores are very poor, I don't know of any.
