The surrounding town is pretty awful and there is really nothing to do. This is coming from an overly involved student on campus. I am very involved on campus because there is frankly nothing to do in Delaware, Ohio.

The food is really terrible and so is the housing. You are required to live in the dorms all 4 years and be on the awful meal plan. I am not sure how they can expect to compete with other universities that do not have these ridiculous 1960s requirements.

The education is not bad as there are very small classes, however the living conditions and one's autonomy at the school are limited. I feel like I am being held back from being an adult at this school because of the awkward relationship the students are forced to have with public safety. Coming from a "good girl" the amount of times I have had a conversation with public safety is uncomfortable. Additionally there is a strong police presence in Delaware, OH. I have out of state plates and have been pulled over 4 times in 2 years for just driving the speed limit. The cops would pull me over, ask me where I was going and then say "ok" and send me on my way. There is some weird social policing going on in the town. There is also immense bigotry and racism in Delaware, OH. The whole town is basically republican and it certainly has that feel. I rated the safety so highly because you can't get away with anything and there are not many people and there is nothing to do so how dangerous can it be?
