I am a freshman at UD this year, and I can honestly say I really haven't enjoyed my experience. I went to a smaller private school throughout highschool and after touring UD I thought it would be the perfect place for me. Boy, was I mistaken. I feel like they sugarcoat everything on the tours; the school isn't really like that. I have NOT found many friendly people at all—everyone is mildly trashy, from new jersey, and drinks copious amounts of alcohol (yet still somehow remain extremely dull). I haven't found anyone with anything good or worthwhile to say. And yes, what you hear is true, the "going out" scene is at first great, parties all over Cleveland Street…but they get SO OLD SO QUICKLY. They are basically all frat parties and are SO crowded and ridiculous that they are so uncomfortable and un-fun and depressing. Ugh. Out of State is insanely expensive too, same with in-state!! Not worth the price at ALL…especially if you are english/history/communications based. It's a good engineering school, I'll give it that, but that's IT. Needless to say, I need a huge scholarship from the other places I've applied but I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE. I just cannot do it.

Then again, some people really love it. Haha. It's just not for me. And the food sucks. And all there is to do in Newark is go on Main Street, which is about the length of 2 football fields. I visited every place on the street by the end of the second day of school.
