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.

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.

Everywhere but Nowhere

There are so many buses on campus, which is great, but a lot of them aren't following the schedule, so you can never catch them when you want to.

UD Transportation

Transportation at University of Delaware is great. There are shuttle buses every 10 minutes at all of the many bus stops, and if you want a ride late a night, there is a number you can call for a UD taxi. Taxi rides are free, but you have to wait a long time until they arrive.
