Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] English  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright FOUR incidents of robberies of University of Delaware students in the past month alone, the last one being last night, September 2, 2008 - the other three in August. These happened ON or very near to campus. Three of the incidents were at gunpoint. This just continues the escalation of violent crimes against students over the past few years. The response of campus safety? To start giving out $100 tickets to students for jaywalking. Are they kidding??? This campus is not safe - students being robbed and beaten at gunpoint -- and they are worried about jaywalking. Get me out of here. Campus Aesthetics: A, Perceived Campus Safety: F Have a Question?

There is little to complain about with the University of Delaware. It's definitely an up-and-coming university and quite a bargain for 20 grand a year. Its perfect for people who want the resources of a big school but at the same time its small/personal and not overwhelming. Engineering here is solid and has given me a good foundation for the future. I guess my only complaints are: there is no co-op program for engineering.

I really hate to submit a negative review of Delaware, because I loved my years there, but the fact is that this campus has a HUGE crime problem that the administration and the City of Newark are refusing to address. I'm not talking about stolen laptops; I am talking about armed robberies and home invasions of student housing near the campus. I am on the email list to receive notice of crimes on campus and the surrounding area, and the frequency of the emails is frightening. Students have been robbed at gunpoint, or at knifepoint, or beaten up just for a cell phone and a few dollars. They do have an escort service, but most of the guys refuse to use it. It has come to the point where I am constantly fearing for my son's safety, and I wish he had chosen a different school. My fear is that a student will be killed before some serious action is taken. The City and Campus police spend more time ticketing vehicles and busting kids for underage drinking than they do dealing with the MAJOR crime problem. There are a lot of wonderful things about Delaware, but unfortunately, they have all become overshadowed by the violence on and around campus. The good things just don't make it worth the risk to my son's safety. Because UDel remains popular and there is never a lack of applicants, I think the University has no incentive to deal with the problem. I am writing this review in the hope that, if more people learn about their little secret, they will have to address it and make the campus safer. If you still decide to go to Delware (or send your child there), I have some advice regarding residence halls -- stay away from West Campus, especially Rodney. It's beyond disgusting. You will notice that West Campus is NEVER included on the campus tours for prospective students. There is a reason why. Again, it pains me to say anything negative about UDel -- there are some great things about the school, and some of the best years of my life were spent there, and there are things my son loves about it. But, really, come on, if your kid isn't safe, then what else matters???? Preparedness: F, Reputation: F Have a Question?
