University of Delaware: Off the Record - College Prowler (Off the Record)

Introduction from the Author

Many people have never heard of the University of Delaware and canÂ’t tell you much about what it is like. Once you arrive on our campus, you will find that UD life is an experience that you can only understand if you live it. The community is relatively isolated from the rest of the world and really gives you a nice mix of a small-town atmosphere with a large university in its midst. Students also find that they are in close proximity to some of the most interesting cities on the east coast such as Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, DC, and New York City. The relative ease with which students can come and go as they please is what defines life at UD.

Most students are comfortable with the security a small town provides, and they relish its state-of-the-art facilities placed right in the center of all this charm. The University of Delaware is quickly becoming widely respected for its academic programs with each new class setting higher standards than the last. Over the four or five years it will take you to graduate, you can be guaranteed that your diploma will be more respected by the time you get out than when you went in.

While academics are a large part of any college experience, the attraction to UD is its ability to balance academics with personal time. The workload here is enough to give you a good understanding of your chosen topic of study, but allows you to spend plenty of time on extracurricular activities. Students love that they have the time to fit in both aspects of a satisfactory college experience and donÂ’t have to sacrifice either part for the other.

If you are buying this book, then you probably already have a high interest in the University of Delaware, but you are probably most curious about is what it is actually like to attend. You donÂ’t want the glossy happy picture that the University paints for you. Instead, you want the truth from someone who is living it right now. With this book, I have put together all the details that define student life and have given you quotes on how it really is from many students of various backgrounds. Other than making a visit, there isnÂ’t a better way to get the real picture on how life is lived at the University of Delaware. I hope you find all that you need within the pages of this book to make the right decision regarding your future.
